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 are exempt from the University and
tuition fees. 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,


26

Page 26
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

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. 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. 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 the 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.

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.

SCHOOL OF PHYSICS

The prerequisite for the following C courses are Physics B1 and Mathematics
B2.

The student specializing in Physics is expected to utilize every opportunity
to acquire laboratory technique as a preparation for experimental investigation.

The C and D courses are not necessarily offered each year, but rather as
the needs of graduate students arise. On account of the rapid flux of thought
in the physics of the present day and the varying needs of graduate students,
the content of the advanced courses is varied from year to year. The effort is
made to combine training in fundamental methods with securing contact with
modern ideas.

Physics C1: Mechanics: Three hours of lecture per week. Given as
required.

Professor Sparrow.

Physics C2: Electricity and Magnetism: Two hours of lecture and two
hours of laboratory per week. Laboratory fee, $7.50. Given as required.

per week. Laboratory fee, $7.50. Given as required. (Given in 1935-36.)

each undertaken under the direction of one or more members of the staff.

Physics D40: Research required for the Master's thesis.

Physics D50: Research required for the Doctor's dissertation.

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,
nuclear physics, electrical discharges, and thermodynamics. Persons desiring
detailed information about opportunities for graduate work may write to
the Professor in Charge, Rouss Physical Laboratory, University Station,
Charlottesville, Va.

Service Fellowships in Physics: Seven are available in all. The duties
of six of these require a maximum of twelve hours per week instruction in
laboratory and classroom, together with accompanying paper work, estimated
at from one to three hours per week additional. The stipend, after
payment of all fees, namely, University, tuition, athletic and Topics fees, will
net the holder $483.50. The seventh fellowship, both in duties and stipend,
is rated at about half (or a little over) of the above six.

All holders of these fellowships are expected to become candidates for
graduate degrees, two years usually being required for the Master's degree

and three more for the Doctorate. Where marked research ability is developed
the duties and time required may be reduced.

Requests for application blanks and further information should be made
to the Professor in Charge, Rouss Physical Laboratory, University Station,
Charlottesville, Virginia. All applications should be submitted not later than
March 1.

Philip Francis duPont Fellowships: These together with a few others
are administered through the office of the Dean of the Department of Graduate
Studies. Applicants specializing in physics are eligible but must make
application to the Dean under conditions laid down under the heading
Fellowships in this catalogue.

Where the holders of fellowships have no services to render, the time
required for winning a graduate degree may be less than that needed by
Service Fellows.

Attention is directed to the importance of absolving early, preferably
before the graduate work is begun, the requirements in French and German
for the Doctorate and in modern languages (preferably French or German or
both) for the Master's degree.
