The Agricultural Department is founded on the gift of one hundred
thousand dollars by the late Samuel Miller, of Lynchburg, Va. It comprises
the Schools named above. Students of Agriculture may either elect a special
course of study entirely from these Schools, or may combine with them certain
of the Literary Schools, with the view of becoming candidates for the degrees of
B. A., M. A., or Ph. D. For example, such a student might offer for his B. A.
degree Latin, French, English Literature, and Political Economy, with Biology,
Chemistry, Physics, and Mechanics, and might then proceed to his Ph. D. degree
in the Schools of Biology and Agriculture and Analytical Chemistry.

The Miller Scholarship is awarded at the end of each alternate session
to the student who is then graduated in the B. A. courses of Biology, Chemistry
and Physics with the highest aggregate of marks. The scholarship is tenable
for two years. The emoluments consist of $250 a session, with free tuition
in the Schools of the Agricultural Department. The Miller scholar is required
to elect at least one-third of his work in Biology and Agriculture, Analytica
Chemistry, or Applied Mathematics. The tenure of the scholarship depends
upon the good conduct and studious diligence of the scholar, the Faculty being
authorized to withdraw its benefits from any student who does not avail himsel
of the opportunities for study which it is intended to secure.
