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

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. 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.

room for instruction in architectural drawing and design. Over the offices is a
balcony arranged for group criticisms, judgment of student drawings and small
exhibitions. The ground floor is occupied by two studios for water-colour and
freehand drawing work, the Fine Arts Library, a small classroom and business
office. The large classes have their lectures and classroom exercises in other
University buildings.
The library contains three thousand books and bound periodicals on painting,
sculpture, architecture and the related minor arts. Additional books on philosophy
of art, archaeology, the theatrical and musical arts are in other school
libraries. The best of American and European architectural and art periodicals
are subscribed to. A well-selected collection of slides and photographs for History
of Art lectures is available. The School owns an ample collection of plaster
casts and still-life objects necessary for teaching freehand drawing and water-colour
as well as equipment for instruction in various black and white mediums.
A gift by John Barton Payne of etchings by masters is owned by the University.
A permanent collection of architectural drawings and water-colours for student
inspiration is exhibited on walls. All the printed documents relating to Virginia
Colonial Architecture are on the library shelves and a rapidly increasing collection
of photographs on the same subject is being formed. Opportunities for
original research in Virginia Colonial and Classical Revival Architecture are
afforded by the neighborhood surrounding Charlottesville.

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.

The courses designated by C are fundamental in character and are designed
to give the student a basic knowledge in most of the major branches of mathematics
and to provide a foundation for more advanced study in any field of
mathematics the student may elect. The program of a candidate for the degree
of M.A. or M.S. will consist of a limited number of these courses and candidates
for the Ph.D. degree will normally take all of them.
The courses designated by D are more advanced in character. They provide
a thorough knowledge of Topology in its various phases and relation to other
branches of mathematics and are intended to prepare the Ph.D. candidate to do
research in the subject.
The Echols Mathematics Club is composed of all officers of instruction in
mathematics, and those undergraduates who show marked proficiency in this
field. The club meets twice monthly for discussion of mathematical subjects.
