I.—THE ACADEMICAL DEGREES

Are, first, that of Proficient in certain special departments of a
school; second, that of Graduate in a school; third, that of
Bachelor of Arts; and, fourth, that of Master of Arts of the
University of Virginia.

The degree of Proficient, conferred in a certificate of proficiency,
applies only to those branches of some of the schools,
which, by the regulations, the student is allowed to attend separately.
These are Geology and Mineralogy, Medical Jurisprudence,
Physiology, Botany, Political Economy, National Law,
Constitutional Law and Government, and Anglo-Saxon.

The degree of Graduate in a school embraces, in the school
of Ancient Languages, the Latin and Greek Languages; in that
of Modern Languages, any two of the languages taught in the
school, except Anglo-Saxon; in that of Mathematics, all the
studies of the school, except the Mixed Mathematics; in that of
Natural Philosophy the same, omitting Geology and Mineralogy;
in that of Moral Philosophy the same, omitting Political Economy.
The degree of Graduate is also conferred in each of the
languages separately, and in the Mixed Mathematics.

None are admitted to these degrees who fail to give satisfactory
evidence of their attainments at the public examinations
and the examinations for graduation.
