This Department is founded on the gift of one hundred thousand
dollars by the late Samuel Miller, of Lynchburg, Va., for the establishment
of a Department of Agriculture in the University of Virginia.
The Course of Instruction is arranged as follows:
I. Botany, Zoology, Junior Physics, General Chemistry, Geology
and Mineralogy.
II. Industrial Chemistry, Practical Biology, Engineering Geodesy,
Descriptive Geometry.
III. Analytical and Agricultural Chemistry, Agriculture, Mechanics,
Hydraulic Engineering.
The Method of Instruction is by systematic lectures, daily oral
and periodical written examinations. With this is combined the study
of suitable text-books, and in the laboratory courses a large amount of
practical work performed under the supervision of the Professor.
The Miller Scholarship is awarded at the end of each session in
honor of the founder of the Agricultural Department. The emoluments
consist of 250 a session, with free tuition in the Schools of the
Agricultural Department.
The degree of Bachelor of Scientific Agriculture is conferred on
one who has passed examination in all of the above subjects. The
course is designed to cover a period of three sessions.
The necessary Expenses of a student in the Department of Agriculture,
with board at the lowest rate ($11), will be about $300 a session,
exclusive of books, stationery, and laboratory materials. Virginians
save $50 to $100 in tuition.
