Seminar: Weekly meetings are held for the study of current literature
and the discussion of research in progress. Attendance is required of all
students in graduate courses.

The Biological Laboratory, completed in 1920, is provided freely with
electricity, gas, and water. The equipment consists of compound microscopes
of the best types, microtomes, paraffin ovens, incubators, sterilizers,
and other apparatus required for general and advanced work. Special apparatus
will be provided as needed. The departmental library contains a working
collection of biological texts and books of reference, as well as files of
the more important journals, and a series of biological reprints.

Affiliated with the Miller School of Biology is the Blandy Experimental
Farm, established by bequest of the late Graham F. Blandy. The Director,
Professor Orland E. White, is in residence at the University during the first
two terms. During the third term and Summer Quarter he directs research
of advanced students at the farm, which is in Clarke County, Virginia. For
such students the farm serves as a field laboratory for experimental work.

Fellowships: There are available five research fellowships in Genetics
in connection with the Blandy Experimental Farm. These carry honorariums
varying from $500 to $1,000. 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 Farm.

A limited number of General Education Board Research Fellowships are
available, the emolument varying from $500 to $1,000 according to the training
and qualification of the holders.

Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy: Students who
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
to University requirements relating to French and German. The completion
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.

The Chemical Laboratory, recently completed, is of brick, fire-proof construction,
and the three floors afford 45,000 square feet of space. The seven
larger laboratories will accommodate 575 students, and in addition to these
there are numerous smaller laboratories for the use of the staff and advanced
students. There are also rooms for various special purposes, including three
dark rooms. The equipment is satisfactory for purposes of both instruction
and research. The laboratory maintains a working library containing about
5,000 volumes directly relating to chemistry, as well as complete files of the
important periodicals. A gift to the School of Chemistry from Mrs. Hamilton
Barksdale in memory of her husband, and from Delaware alumni and
friends of the University, provides an annual income sufficient for the adequate
maintenance of the library.

Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy: In addition to
fulfilling the regular University requirements for the Degree of Doctor of
Philosophy, candidates for this degree who select chemistry as their Major
Subject must give evidence of thorough training in inorganic, organic, analytical,
and physical chemistry, by passing written qualifying examinations in
these subjects; these examinations to be passed not later than October 15th of the
session in which it is expected that the degree will be conferred.

Fellowships: There are available each session a number of Service Fellowships
in Chemistry, each with an honorarium of $450, and exemption
from tuition. These fellowships present the opportunity for graduate study
and research in Chemistry, accompanied by a limited amount of instructional
work. Holders of the fellowships will be expected to devote not more
than fifteen hours a week to instruction, leaving ample time for research and
work toward a graduate degree. On reappointment the required amount of
instructional work may be reduced. The fellowships are open to men who
have received a bachelor's degree from a college or university of recognized
standing, and who have received thorough undergraduate training in chemistry
and physics. Preference will be given to applicants who have studied
calculus, German, and French

In addition to the Service Fellowships, a number of advanced Fellowships,
requiring no instructional work, are also available to students who have
already had graduate training in chemistry in this University or elsewhere.

Applications for Fellowships should be made before March 1, on forms
obtainable from the Secretary of the Chemistry Faculty.

paleontology. During the year several visiting geologists discuss current
problems at the Club, and such meetings are open to the public.

The Lewis Brooks Museum contains collections illustrating the main
subdivisions of natural history. Each of the collections is arranged so as to
exemplify the principles of the science, and at the same time offers a large
variety of subjects for advanced study. In geology the specimens show the
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
as rapidly as possible.

Journal Meeting: The faculty and advanced students meet weekly for
the presentation and discussion of recent work in the physical sciences.

The Rouss Physical Laboratory: Facilities for research, which for a
number of years have included an instrument shop and a departmental library
in addition to a variety of apparatus, are now being rapidly augmented. They
lie chiefly in the broad field of spectroscopy, in electro-optical phenomena,
electrical discharges, and to some extent in heat. Persons desiring detailed
information about opportunities for graduate work may write to the Professor
in charge, Rouss Physical Laboratory, University, Va.

Fellowships: A number of Service Fellowships are available each session.
