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 session to the student
who then passes the graduating examinations in the B. A. courses of
Biology I., 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, Analytical 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 himself of the opportunities for study
which it is intended to secure.
