of $1,000 each, and three carry an honorarium of $750 each. All five include
free tuition. These fellowships present an opportunity for graduate study
and research accompanied by a limited amount of instructional work involving
not over one hundred hours. They cover a period of eleven months
annually, and are designed to encourage investigational work leading towards
advanced degrees. They are open to men and women with a bachelor's degree
from a college or university of recognized standing, who have had
special training in biological and agricultural subjects. The first two terms
are spent at the University, the remainder of the time at the Blandy Experimental

select biology as their Major Subject, in addition to meeting the regular University
requirements, must have a general knowledge of related sciences,
such as chemistry, geology and physics; and a comprehensive knowledge of
the various aspects of biology, as attested by the completion of prescribed
courses and such examinations as may be imposed. Special attention is called

of residence requirements and class work does not guarantee a degree to any
student. The preeminent qualifications are thoroughness, resourcefulness,
initiative and ability to do creative work.

different kinds of rocks, classified according to mineral character and the
formations in which they occur. The collections of fossils, plaster casts, maps,
etc., are exceptionally fine, and illustrate historical geology. In mineralogy,
the principles of the science are made plain by well-chosen suits of specimens,
models of crystals, etc. The general collection of minerals contains
all the important species, and many of the rarer ones, in good specimens. In
addition to the above, a beginning has been made of a collection to illustrate
the geology and mineralogy of the State of Virginia, and this is being increased

The Master's Degree.—A varying number of Romance group courses,
ranging from six to ten hours a week throughout the year, a final oral examination,
and a thesis are prescribed for the master's degree. A candidate of average
ability and good training may absolve the requisite number of courses within
one year after the baccalaureate degree. The final oral examination, however,
embraces questions asked and answered in two Romanic languages; and the
candidate whose collegiate work represents one Romanic language only will find
it difficult to acquire in one year the supplementary language and absolve other
requirements. Further, the thesis must incorporate the results (elementary, at
least) of original investigation on the part of the candidate; and unless he already
have at the outset, or find very quickly, a promising subject of investigation, nine
months will prove insufficient for the work.
The Doctorate.—A verying number of Romance group courses, ranging
from fifteen to twenty, distributed over a period of three years after the baccalaureate
degree, are prescribed for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in
Romanic Languages. The final oral examination embraces questions asked and
answered in French, Spanish, and Italian. The scope and character of original
investigation presented by the candidate's dissertation must satisfy the Romanic
Faculty as a whole. To facilitate the acquisition of a speaking knowledge of the
third, or supplementary, Romanic language, candidates are granted the privilege
of optional attendance on any French, Spanish, or Italian course in the College.
