The Academic Department is composed of the Schools
of Languages, Literature, History, Philosophy and the
Sciences. Each of the included schools offers one or more
undergraduate courses of instruction, comprising the work
one of the requisites for the degree of Bachelor of Arts or
that of Bachelor of Science. These are followed in each
School by graduate courses, the completion of any one of
which, together with that of the undergraduate course
preceding it, entitles the student to a diploma of graduation
in the School in question. A certain number of these
graduations is required of Bachelors of Arts who proceed
to the degree of Master of Arts; graduation in a certain
number of Schools, together with a certain amount of
undergraduate work, is also required for the degree of
Bachelor of Science. Subsequent work of a still more
advanced and specialized character is now also offered in
the various Schools of the Department as preliminary to the
degree of Doctor of Philosophy. A detailed account of
the courses and equipment of the Schools is given, followed
by a specific statement of the requirements for academic
degrees.
SCHOOL OF LATIN.
PROFESSOR PETERS,
Mr. WRIGHT.
B. A. COURSE.
A. First Year.—A student who is able to translate
Cæsar or Vergil, and has a proper acquaintance with the
Forms, is prepared to enter this course, which begins with
Sallust or a writer of like difficulty. Systematic attention
is given to the study of the Forms. The syntactical work
is the study of the Case-relations, the exact force of the
Tenses, and a consecutive outline of the connections in
which the Subjunctive Mood is required. Principles and
facts explained are applied by frequent exercises in Latin
Composition. The reading is confined to selected portions
of Sallust, Ovid, Curtius, and Vergil. A limited amount
from each author is prescribed for private reading. For
the examinations, passages are selected for translation from
the Latin assigned as private reading. These examinations
are conducted in writing.
B. Second Year.—The work of this year will be
directed to the acquirement of readiness in translation and
syntactical interpretation, with as little specialistic investigation
as is consistent with a general but sound and permanent
knowledge of the language. As an indispensable
auxiliary to this end, written exercises in translating
English into Latin and Latin into English will be required.
Proper attention will be given to Roman History and
Literature. The metrical work will be limited to the structure
and accurate recitation of the Dactylic, Anapæstic,
Trochaic, and Iambic verses, with the verses occurring in
the odes of Horace. Translation will be confined to Livy,
Horace, Cicero, Seneca, and Tacitus. Selections from each
author will be assigned as parallel reading. The student
who completes the work of this year will be entitled to
a diploma of graduation in the B. A. course in Latin.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
This course commences with Juvenal or Livy, and
includes selected portions of Juvenal, Livy, Cicero, Seneca,
Tacitus, and Plautus. The Case-relations are reviewed, and
the Syntax of the Verb is systematically presented. Latin
versification is taken up early in the session and continued
throughout the term. A theoretical acquaintance with
this subject is insufficient. Prompt identification and correct
recitation of every variety of Latin verse is insisted
upon. A very prominent place is assigned to Latin Composition
as an indispensable means of acquiring an exact
knowledge of the language. Portions of the authors read
in the lecture-room are designated as parallel and private
reading. The object of parallel reading is to enable a student
to acquire a more copious vocabulary than is furnished
by the limited amount of Latin read in the lecture-room,
and to afford a wider field for the application of the principles
explained in the lectures. The examinations are
conducted in writing. For the third or final examination,
passages for translation are selected partly from the
In Roman History and Literature the work is that of the
B. A. course. The completion of the work of this year
entitles the student to the diploma of graduation in the
M. A. course in Latin, if the work of the B. A. course has
been completed.
Text-Books.—Any approved edition of the authors above named.
Grammars.—Gildersleeve's, Syntax of the Verb by the Professor,
Printed Lectures by the Professor on the Latin Cases and
Versification.
History.—Liddell's, with Long's or any approved Atlas.
Literature.—Bender's, as a Handbook and Guide, supplemented by
Lectures.
PH. D.
This course is intended for students who propose to
teach, or desire to equip themselves for original investigation
in the language. The scope of the work is such as to
familiarize them with the language in its several periods.
An extensive course of reading is prescribed, and subjects
for independent investigation are from time to time assigned.
The lecture-room exercises consist in translation and the
discussion by the student of the passage translated. He is
invited to propound such questions to the Professor, or to
a member of the class, as he would to a pupil. In addition,
a careful translation from some one of the best Latin prose
writers is prepared, and the student is required at once to
write on the blackboard his Latin rendering of it, and to
give his reasons as well for the periods as for the syntactical
constructions employed. Though it requires at least two
years to complete this course, yet one year given to it
abundantly repays the student, as the greater part of the
first year of the course is devoted to the Archaic period of
the language, which cannot be considered to any great
extent in the undergraduate course.
SCHOOL OF GREEK.
PROFESSOR HUMPHREYS.
In this School there are three courses:
B. A. COURSE.
I. A general course, comprising what is deemed essential
to a liberal classical education. This course extends
over two years.
A. First Year Class.—As a preparation for this class
an accurate knowledge of the regular Attic inflections and
some experience in translating are necessary. A thorough
study of two books of Xenophon's Anabasis may be
regarded as the minimum of preparatory reading. The
work of the class is directed to the acquirement of practical
familiarity with the simpler Attic prose. The Grammar is
carefully reviewed, and weekly exercises, based on Greek
authors, are written. The authors read are Xenophon and
Lysias.
B. Second Year Class.—This class, for which the work
of the preceding year, or some equivalent, is the appropriate
preparation, continues the study of Attic prose, and
enters upon the study of Epic and Ionic Greek and the
Drama. The Syntax is reviewed, and weekly exercises are
given for translation into Attic prose. The authors read
are Plato, Demosthenes, Euripides, Herodotus, and Homer.
Instruction is given in History, Literature, Antiquities, and
the simpler Metres. Graduation in this course is prescribed
for those who select Greek as one of their studies for the
degree of B. A.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
II. An advanced course, adapted especially to the requirements
of those who desire to become teachers of the classics.
It extends through one session of nine months. For admission
to this course, graduation in the preceding course is
required; but, when sufficiently prepared, students may be
allowed to pursue both courses simultaneously. In this
weekly exercises, including passages from modern English
authors, are given to be translated into idiomatic Greek.
Lectures are given on Rhythm and Metres, and the students
are practiced in reading rhythmically the lyric parts of the
Drama and the works of the Lyric Poets. The authors
read are Demosthenes, Æschylus, Sophocles, Aristophanes,
Thucydides, Pindar, and other Lyric Poets. The course
will be varied and modified as occasion may require.
Graduation in this course is prescribed for those who select
Greek as one of their studies for the degree of M. A.
PH. D.
III. A higher course, designed for those who wish to
devote themselves to classical scholarship. For admission
to this course, graduation in the preceding course is
required, but in special cases students may be permitted to
prosecute both courses at the same time. Those who select
Greek as one of their studies for the degree of Ph. D. will
be required to pursue this course for two years. At
present it consists of four special courses, each comprising
two hours per week during a half session. The lectures
will be employed chiefly in directing the private study of
students.
The recent acquisition of the library of the late Professor
Hertz has greatly increased the facilities for philological
research, and in connection with each course special
topics will be assigned to each student for investigation.
In each course, in addition to the special objects of study,
attention will be given to the literary aspect of the authors
read and to the subject matter involved. The courses
offered are as follows:
I. A course of selected readings extending over the
whole field of Greek literature in the order of historical
development. This course is intended as a general survey.
II. A course in Attic prose, especially the orators,
directed partly to questions of grammar, and partly to the
artistic form and the style.
III. A study of the Attic drama, including the special
study in class of the Oedipus Tyrannus of Sophocles and
the Frogs of Aristophanes.
IV. A study of the Greek poets, with special reference
to music, rhythm, metre, and structure. The ancient
doctrine of metre and rhythm will be carefully examined,
and portions of the Lyric poets, including Pindar, read in
class.
For all the classes of this School private reading is
prescribed, and the examinations will be partly upon this
and the work done in class, and partly upon passages
selected from the Greek authors at will.
Text-Books.—Goodwin's Greek Grammar; Goodwin's Moods and
Tenses; Hogue's Irregular Verbs; Veitch's Verbs; Liddell and Scott's
Lexicon (Intermediate, and in Courses II and III, unabridged seventh
edition); Smith's History of Greece; Jebb's Primer of Greek Literature.
Any editions of Greek authors may be used, except when particular ones
are specially prescribed; but students should always have at hand Teubner's
texts for reference, and for use on examinations. At present Rhythm and
Metres and some other subjects are taught wholly or partly by lecture.
Hebrew.—Elementary instruction in Hebrew will be
given when the demand for such instruction is sufficient.
SCHOOL OF MODERN LANGUAGES.
English, French, Spanish.
PROFESSOR HARRISON,
Mr. BLAIN.
The courses offered in this School are General (B. A.),
Special (M. A.), and Advanced, or Post-Graduate (Ph. D.).
B. A. COURSE.
The General Course embraces such a knowledge of
the selected language as an intelligent student may be
expected to acquire in one year. Some previous preparation
is most desirable. The aim of this course is to acquaint the
student with the pronunciation, phonology, grammar, and
written practice, to initiate him into the literature through
easy and abundant reading, and to lay a solid foundation for
the prosecution of his Special and Advanced courses, if he
elects to continue his studies in this School.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
The Special Course embraces a systematic extension of
the General Course along the same lines, but is at once more
comprehensive and more specialized in certain directions;
incessant practice in translation and composition, gradually
increasing in difficulty, is continued; instruction in syntax,
in historical grammar, and in literature is given by lecture
and abstract; and an orderly reading of the great writers in
each language, chronologically arranged, is planned and
accomplished by class work and collateral reading.
PH. D.
The Advanced Course is intended for those students
that elect Romance Languages for the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy. It embraces two years of graduate work in any
two languages of the group, and is especially adapted to
students who have graduated in Latin and Greek. Study
of the comparative grammar, vocabulary, and literature of
these languages is made a special feature of this course.
Most attractive combinations can be made in this department,
such as French-Italian, Spanish-French, Portuguese-Spanish,
Provençal-French, Latin-French, etc. Graduation
in Latin is indispensable for the prosecution of a Ph. D. course
in Romance Languages. Instruction will be given by conference,
assigned private work, and stated examination, and
a dissertation evincing original research in some department
of grammar, phonetics, syntax, literature or history, will in
every case be required. Detailed courses for intending
students will be arranged by the Professor on application.
FRENCH.
B. A. COURSE.
Text-Books.—Whitney's Large French Grammar and Introductory
French Reader; Bruno's Tour de la France; Joynes' Classic French Plays;
Bowen's French Lyrics; Fontaine's Fleurs de France; Fortier's Littérature
Française. Exercises. Parallel reading (completion of the texts begun in
class). Heath's, Gasc's or Bellows' Dictionary. The texts used have been
so chosen as to form a suitable general introduction (a) to the grammar, (b)
to the vocabulary, (c) to the history and geography, and (d) to the literature
of France in the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.
M. A. COURSE.
For pronunciation: Koschwitz' Parlers Parisiens; Passy's Sons du
Français (Association Fonétique). For reference: Harrison's French Syntax.
For reading: Fasnacht's Select Specimens of Great French Writers;
Masson's Series of French Prose (for the study of select periods of French
culture and civilization); Voltaire's Siècle de Louis XIV (for the study of
one typical reign); professor's lectures on Eminent French Writers; Chardenal's
Advanced Exercises. Examinations on definite assigned work.
In 1896 a course of seven illustrated lectures on French art, architecture,
literature, and history was given.
SPANISH.
B. A. COURSE.
Text-Books.—Manning's Spanish Grammar (for rapid survey;
Knapp's Reader (for current Spanish prose); Todd's Don Quijote, with
Selections from Lope and Calderon (for classical prose and poetry); Valera's
Pepita Jiménez; Harrison's History of Spain; Seoane's Dictionary.
Exercises. Definite collateral reading and examinations on assigned work.
M. A. COURSE.
Text-Books.—Knapp's Grammar, with lectures based on Foerster's
Sprachlehre and Wiggers' Grammatik der Spanischen Sprache; Selections
from the lyric and dramatic poets and from the great prose writers, in connection
with Ticknor's History of Spanish Literature; Isla's Le Sage's Gil
Blas; El Romancero del Cid; Seoane's Dictionary. Exercises, assigned
collateral reading, and stated examinations on definite assigned work.
Ph. D. Courses in Old French, Provençal and Old Spanish will be
arranged and offered as they are required. The texts, editions, grammars,
and chrestomathies of Schwan, Bartsch, Keller, Groeber, Suchier, Vietor,
Gaston Paris, Meyer, Darmesteter, and others, will be used, and the professor's
extensive collection of Modern Language works will be freely open to
students of the School.
ENGLISH.
B. A. COURSE.
The B. A. course in English is designed to lay a broad
foundation for the intelligent study of the language on both
the historical (philological) and the literary side. The
opportunity is seized from the beginning to interest the
student in the history and etymology of current English
words and phrases, to point him by a general course of
Anglo-Saxon (Old English) and Middle English to the
gradual genesis and evolution of Modern English as we
have it now, and to furnish him with ample material for the
prosecution of further study and research in one of the
most delightful fields open to the modern student. A carefully
graded series of texts and text-books will lead the
student from the language of Alfred through Chaucer and
the Elizabethans to the English of Victoria; and practical
weekly or fortnightly exercises in English composition on
assigned topics will, it is hoped, shape his style and enlarge
his knowledge of contemporary English. Three times a week.
Text-Books.—First term—Sweet's or Harrison and Baskervill's Primer
of Anglo-Saxon; Morris's Elementary Historical English Grammar
(revised); Corson's edition of Chaucer.
Second term—Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Reader (seventh edition); Mayhew's
Trench's English Past and Present; Hales's Longer English Poems;
the Arden Shakspeare; Brooke's English Literature.
For the benefit of students studying Modern English along with Old
English, one hour a week is devoted to English Grammar, Elementary
Rhetoric and Pronunciation, with one weekly exercise.
Text-Books.—Williams's Rhetoric; Phyfe's How Shall I Pronounce?
A course of eight illustrated lectures on the Homes and Haunts of English
Men of Letters was given in February, 1897.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
This course is a more specialized form of the B. A.
course on the same general lines; a knowledge of Anglo-Saxon
is essential to a profitable prosecution of it. The
historical study of the language is pursued in greater detail;
the student's attention is concentrated on the history and
Anglo-Saxons are given; Fourteenth Century English
receives detailed attention, and selected plays of the Elizabethan
period will be examined and studied critically.
The effort will constantly be made to make these
courses in the English Language run parallel on the linguistic
side with the courses in English Literature, so that
the two may profitably be taken together. Three times a
week.
Text-Books.—First term—Cook's Sievers' Old English Grammar (for
reference); Sweet's New English Grammar: Beowulf; Skeat's Principles,
I; Morris and Skeat's Specimens, I.
Second term—Morris and Skeat's Specimens, II; Skeat's Principles,
II; the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle; the Student's Chaucer; Brooke's History
of Old English Literature; Professor's Lectures.
Cook's Anglo-Saxon Exercises may be used, and a
piece of technical work, such as the construction of a vocabulary,
the examination of particular points in syntax or
grammar, or the discussion of a particular author, may be
required of the M. A graduate.
PH. D.
Here only general hints and suggestions can be given,
the course adapting itself to the preferences of the student.
The foundations will be laid in a thorough knowledge of
Gothic, Old and Middle High German, and Old French to
the Sixteenth Century; phonetics will be carefully studied;
and the principles of comparative grammar and syntax will
be duly explained.
Frequent conference, stated examination, and original
research will form essential parts of this course.
The professor's large and choice collection of Anglo-Saxon,
English, German, and French philological works is
open to the students.
SCHOOL OF MODERN LANGUAGES.
German and Italian.
PROFESSOR PERKINSON.

B. A. COURSE.
No previous knowledge of the language is required,
but some knowledge of Latin or French will be helpful.
The object of this course is to introduce the student into
the language by easy steps and to present to him the language
in its modern form as represented by the most popular

Tasso's Gerusalemme Liberata; Dante's Divina Commedia.
LINDEN KENT MEMORIAL SCHOOL OF ENGLISH
LITERATURE.
PROFESSOR KENT,
Mr. SMITH.
B. A. COURSE.
Notwithstanding the fact that this course includes
practical instruction in prose and poetic composition and in
the critical analysis of specimens of prose and poetry, its
general aim, constantly held in view, is literary. Its double
purpose is: first, to raise the standard of good reading by
cultivating literary taste and by interesting the student in
the splendid achievements of English literature; second, to
aid the student in learning the principles of good writing
and in acquiring by practice the power of expressing himself
correctly and clearly, if not with facility and literary
finish.
In order to pursue this course with profit the student
should have, in addition to a certain maturity of mind and
general mental training, an accurate knowledge of the
principles of English grammar, including orthography, and
general familiarity with the elements of rhetoric. Previous
practice in composition is well nigh essential to the successful
prosecution of the work of this class, while information
about the history and contents of English literature will add
materially to the student's appreciation of the lectures.[1]
For convenience of presentation the course is divided
as follows:
1. Rhetoric.—This will comprise first a rapid review of
the principles of style as illustrated by the Sentence and the
Paragraph, and then a careful study of invention in prose
discourse. There will be occasional written exercises, and
particular attention will be given to the critical analysis of
selected specimens of Descriptive, Narrative, Expository and
Argumentative Prose. The course will be based on
Genung's Rhetoric, but will not be limited to it.
Text-Books.—Genung's Rhetoric; Genung's Hand-book of Rhetorical
Analysis; Baldwin's Specimens of Prose Description; Brewster's Specimens
of Narration; Lamont's Specimens of Exposition; and Baker's Specimens of
Argumentation.
2. Poetics.—In this course will be considered the mechanism
of verse, the artistic elements of poetry, history of
important verse forms, poetic style, kinds of poetry, etc.
Class exercises of various kinds will be assigned from
time to time.
Text-Book.—Kent's Study of Poetry (in preparation). References.—
Gummere's Hand-book of Poetics; Guest's English Rhythms; Schipper's
Englische Metrik; Lanier's Science of English Verse, etc.
3. General History of English Literature.—This course,
of which the text-book serves as a syllabus, will consist of
the text, assigned readings, lectures, etc.
Text-Book.—Pancoast's Introduction to English Literature (revised
edition, 1896).
4. Nineteenth Century Literature.—Following the General
History of English Literature there will be offered in
'97-98 a special course in the history of Nineteenth Century
Literature. This course will be supplemented by assigned
readings, lectures, etc.
Text-Book.—Saintsbury's History of Nineteenth Century Literature.
References.—Mrs. Oliphant's Literary History of England, Eighteenth and
Nineteenth Century; Stedman's Victorian Poets; Harrison's Studies in
Early Victorian Literature; and special references for individual authors
and periods.
Essays.—Besides the occasional written exercises of the
class, four essays will be required of each student applying
for graduation in this B. A. course. These will be due
October 15, December 10, March 9, May 4. The subjects
will, in some cases, be assigned and at other times be left
to the choice of the student, but will fall under these
general heads: Description, Narration, Exposition, Argumentation
or Persuasion.
In this connection the earnest attention of those charged with the direction
of academies, high schools and schools of lower grade is called to the sad and
disastrous want of adequate elementary training in English, manifested by
many of their representative students.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
To this class will be admitted such students as have
finished the B. A. course here, or have had such training
here or elsewhere as to warrant the belief that they would
pursue the course with profit. But, because of the written
work required in each class, the professor strongly advises
young men not to undertake to pursue the B. A. and M. A.
courses both during the same session.
M. A. COURSE.
In this course there will be occasional lectures, but in
general the exercises of the class will be conducted by questions,
conversation, and conference. Readings will be
assigned, independent investigation insisted upon, and written
reports required from time to time. The students will
them orally or in writing. References for each author,
period, or subject studied will be given, and the free use of
the library in this and all courses is cordially recommended.
COURSES HERETOFORE OFFERED.
I. Representative Writers of English Prose.
II. History of Lyric Poetry from 1560 to 1800.
III. British Essayists from Bacon to Burke.
IV. Victorian and American Poets.
V. Tennyson, the Representative Poet of the Nineteenth
Century.VI. The British Essay in the Nineteenth Century.
COURSES ANNOUNCED FOR 1897-98.
VII. Shakespeare, as a Dramatic Artist.
This course is intended (a) to trace the development of
Shakespeare's literary powers and (b) to inculcate a full and
reverential appreciation of his mind and art. His minor
poems—particularly the Sonnets—will be studied in so far
as they throw light upon his development, reveal the influences
active in his work, or mark the stages of his progress,
but the main effort of the class will be directed to a
careful analysis of the dramatic structure of the plays and
to the full comprehension and enjoyment of these masterpieces.
The plays examined in class will be:
1. Love's Labor's Lost; 2. A Midsummer Night's
Dream; 3. Richard III; 4. Romeo and Juliet; 5. King
John; 6. The Merchant of Venice; 7. Henry V; 8. As
You Like It; 9. Julius Cæsar; 10. Hamlet; 11. Measure
for Measure; 12. Othello; 13. King Lear; 14. The
Tempest; 15. The Winter's Tale.
The remaining plays will from time to time be assigned
for parallel reading.
Text-Books. Dowden's Shakespeare Primer; Globe edition of Shakspeare's
Complete Works (Macmillan & Co.). In addition, for the plays
studied in class single annotated volumes are strongly recommended.
VI. The British Essay in the Nineteenth Century;
illustrated by the study of, 1. The Edinburgh Reviewers
(Jeffrey, Smith, and Brougham); 2. The Blackwood Reviewers
(Wilson and Lockhart); 3. Lamb; 4. Hazlitt; 5. Hunt;
6. Landor; 7. DeQuincey; 8. Macaulay; 9. Bagehot;
10. Sir Arthur Helps; 11. Carlyle; 12. Newman; 13.
Matthew Arnold; 14. Pater; 15. Ruskin.
Essays and Dissertation.—As an essential part of this
course there will be required two critical essays and a dissertation.
The essays, due October 22, and December 15,
respectively, will treat some literary theme, not necessarily
growing out of the class work, though to such theme preference
will be given. The dissertation must show independent
and original investigation of some theme selected
with the professor's approval, and the subject of this dissertation
must be recorded by the professor on or before January
15, 1898. The dissertation itself is due on or before
May 15, 1898.
PH. D.
This course will be, in some measure, adapted to the
needs of the students desiring to pursue it. Its purposes
will be to cultivate more fully the love of letters, to encourage
independent and scholarly research, and to further the
art of literary expression. It will include the study of some
writer, or school of writers, or of some period or movement
of literature, and will take into consideration the
political, social and literary characteristics of the time under
discussion.
The course begun in September, 1896, comprises the
investigation of the origin, growth, influence, etc., of English
literary criticism.
CORCORAN SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL SCIENCE.
Political Economy and Science of Society.
PROFESSOR HOLMES.
In this School there are two courses. Political Economy
will be prosecuted for the B. A., and Science of Society
for the Ph. D. degree.
B. A. COURSE.
Political Economy.—In the treatment of this department
of knowledge there is no rigid adherence to the school of
Smith, Ricardo and Mill. The modification of older doctrines,
necessitated by the increase of productive inventions
and productive operations, is steadily regarded, and as far
as possible the subject brought down to the current year on
all important topics. Attention is paid to the inquiries
and criticisms of Thornton, Cairnes, Jevons, Marshall,
Nicholson, etc.; and to the altered views propounded by
Laveleye, Walker, the Cathedrists and other German
schools.
Text-Books.—Walker's Political Economy (advanced course). Special
topics and special lectures will be introduced.
PH. D. COURSE.
Science of Society.—In this course is prosecuted the investigation
of the laws and movements, the growth, decay,
and constitution of Societies, in the different phases and
stages of social development. The necessary organic functions
of society are studied in their several forms. They
are also regarded in their reciprocal relations and in their
conjoint action in successive forms of civilization. All
forms are interpreted; no ideal constitution is contemplated.
The course is descriptive of processes by which experienced
results have been obtained, not speculative in advocacy of
theoretic dreams.
This class is dependent on notes for the Lectures, as no text-book
exists or has been attempted. Comte, Spencer, Ward, De Grey, Giddings,
Fairchild and others treat the subject from an entirely different point of view.
HISTORY.
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR DABNEY.
The study of History, like that of other great subjects,
has its own peculiar charms and advantages. It cannot
equal the study of language in cultivating the habit of
minute accuracy and attention to details. Nor can it compete
with mathematical study in accustoming the student
the other hand, there is no other subject that surpasses
History in its power to broaden and deepen both the mind
and the heart. Its charm lies in its human interest. For
its theme is man—"the proper study of mankind"—a
theme that must ever be more attractive to the majority of
human beings than either the asymptotes of the hyperbola
or the subjunctive mood. But while History deals with
man, it should not be confounded with biography, which
deals with individual men. Biography is an invaluable
adjunct to History, but History deals with the life of societies,
nations and states. Fully, fairly and impartially to
comprehend this life in all its marvellously varied social,
political, religious, moral and intellectual manifestations, is
totally beyond the power of any human brain. Yet the
earnest student, who seeks the truth and resolutely turns
his back upon partisanship in every form, can learn enough
of even so vast a theme to reward him richly for his pains.
But let him not yield credence to the common delusion
that History is "easy" to learn,—a mere collection of
entertaining anecdotes concerning eminent men. To understand
the life of nations—the evolution and dissolution of
organized masses of men—is a fascinating, but immensely
difficult task. Such a task is, very properly, not attempted
in primary schools, children being taught the rudiments
of History with other purposes in view. Nor is it wise for
the younger students at a university to attempt the task.
The greater their maturity, the greater also will be the
benefit they may derive from historical study; and they
are therefore advised, as a general rule, to defer its pursuit
until they have had at least one year's training in other
university work.
Three courses in History are offered: one in General
History, one in English and American History, and one in
some selected subject that varies from year to year. These
courses are most advantageously taken in the order named.
B. A. COURSE.
General History.—In this course, which comprises the
historical work required for the B. A. degree, great stress
is laid on the view that the career of man, as revealed in
History, is not a mere jumble of disconnected dates and
facts, but a continuous stream, having its sources and
tributaries in the far-off past, its outlet in the remote future.
No attempt is made, however, to traverse in the classroom
the entire length of this stream; for, although constant
efforts are made to demonstrate the vital connection of
nation with nation, of generation with generation, and of
anterior with ensuing conditions of historical development,
the lectures are confined to the more important periods,
the student being required to fill the gaps by private
reading. These periods, and, therefore, the text-books
studied, may be more or less varied each year. Three
lectures a week.
Text-Books.—Fisher's Outlines of Universal History; Grant's Greece
in the Age of Pericles; Froude's Cæsar; Capes's Age of the Antonines;
Thatcher's and Schwill's Europe in the Middle Age; Seebohm's Era of the
Protestant Revolution; Gardiner's Thirty Years' War; Longman's Frederick
the Great and the Seven Years' War; Dabney's Causes of the French
Revolution; Morris's French Revolution and First Empire.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
English and American History.—In this higher course
the principles taught in the one preceding will be applied to
a more special field; and, in order that the students may be
encouraged to exercise independent thought and judgment,
they will be required to write essays on assigned topics.
Moreover, it should be distinctly understood that the textbooks
are by no means regarded by the professor as infallible
authorities. On the contrary, some of them contain
much that is emphatically rejected by him. And yet such
books may be exceedingly useful; for to educate a man is
not to stuff him full of cut-and-dried opinions, but rather
to draw forth and develop his own judgment by presenting
to his mind opinions that oppose and even clash violently
are studied side by side, the professor giving his own views
of each and encouraging the students also to think for
themselves. Graduates in General History will derive most
benefit from this course. It may be taken, however, by
others; and, as considerable attention will be paid to constitutional
development, students intending to study Law
will find the course of advantage. Candidates for the
M. A. degree selecting History as one of their four subjects
must graduate both in this course and in the preceding.
Three lectures a week.
Text-Books.—Gardiner's History of England; Green's Short History
of the English People; Gardiner's Atlas of English History; Percy Greg's
History of the United States; Thwaites's Colonies; Hart's Formation of
the Union; Wilson's Division and Re-union; Curry's Southern States of
the American Union.
PH. D.
The more advanced work in the school of History has
for its chief aim the cultivation in the student of a habit of
independent investigation. Even more than in the undergraduate
courses each student will be encouraged not only
to acquire a sound knowledge of well ascertained facts, but
to exercise his own judgment as to the significance of these
facts in the great chain of human events, and also to apply
the rules of evidence and common sense to the establishment
of hitherto unknown facts or to the rejection of supposed
facts which lack the support of trustworthy evidence.
The course is designed for those who aim at the degree
of Doctor of Philosophy, and, if History be the major subject
of a candidate for the doctorate, a dissertation embodying
the results of original research will be required. This
dissertation should not, however, be written until the
second year of graduate work.
The mode of instruction will consist in informal, conversational
discussions between students and professor, the
students being expected to ask questions freely and to
accept or reject the opinions of the professor on these
questions according to their own judgment after candid
and earnest consideration. Informal debates will be held
into close personal contact with the professor. Three
hours a week.
The course for the session of 1896-97 has been devoted
to the careful study of the intellectual, social, moral and
religious development of Europe, without losing sight of
the close connection between this development and the
events of military and political history. An extensive
course of reading, consisting of Buckle's History of Civilization
(2 vols.), Lecky's History of European Morals (2
vols.), Lecky's History of Rationalism in Europe (2 vols.),
Draper's History of the Intellectual Development of Europe
(2 vols.), White's History of the Warfare of Science with
Theology (2 vols.), Fisher's History of the Christian
Church, Bryce's Holy Roman Empire, and Guizot's History
of Civilization in Modern Europe, was assigned, and the
facts and opinions presented by these authors have been
subjected to a closely critical examination.
The course for 1897-98 will consist in the study of a
large number of specially selected works on American
History; or, if occasion requires, the course for 1896-97 may
be repeated.
SCHOOL OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY.

SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS.
PROFESSOR ECHOLS,
ADJUNCT PROFESSOR PAGE,
Mr. LOVETT.
The work of the School of Mathematics is divided into
two parts:
Part I.—The Undergraduate Course, leading to the
degree of B. A., is designed with a view of giving an intelligent
comprehension of the fundamental principles of
mathematics to those who pursue it as a component part of
a general education, and as a preparation to those who
desire a working knowledge of the subject for use in subsequent
studies in Physics, Astronomy, and Engineering.
Part II.—The Graduate Course, leading to the degrees
of M. A. and Ph. D., has a twofold design. In the first
place, its object is to require a thorough and systematic
study of the chief branches of pure mathematics as
exhibited in the writings of the best authors; and in the
second place, to inculcate a serious and thoughtful contemplation
of pure mathematics as an art, a science, and a
branch of philosophy.
In this school, as at present designed, there are six
classes.
B. A. COURSE.
In this course there are two classes, each of which
meets three times a week (three hours) throughout the
session.
Class A.—This class meets three times a week, and
devotes about three months to each of the three subjects,
Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry.
In Algebra the class begins with Ratio and Proportion,
proceeding to the Progressions, the Binomial Formula,
Convergence and Divergence of Series, Logarithms, Determinants,
and the Theory of Equations.
In Geometry the work begins with the Solution of
numerous original exercises in Plane Geometry, proceeds
through Solid Geometry, with exercises, and terminates
with a short course in Geometrical Conic Sections.
The year is closed by a course in elementary Plane
Trigonometry, embracing the Solution of Triangles by
means of Logarithms, the usual applications to the problems
of Heights and Distances, etc.
The preparation necessary to enter this class is a good
knowledge of Arithmetic, of Algebra through Simultaneous
Quadratic Equations, and of Plane Geometry.
Text-Books.—Charles Smith's Algebra; Venable's Legendre's Geometry,
with Exercises; Venable's Notes on Geometric Conic Sections; and
Wells' Plane and Spherical Trigonometry.
Class B.—The preparation for this class consists in a
thorough knowledge of the topics worked over in Class A.
This class devotes about three months to each of
the three subjects, Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, and
Calculus.
The subject of Trigonometry, plane and spherical, is
carefully worked over and followed by the study of the
Conic Sections analytically. The last three months of the
session are devoted to the study of the elementary principles
and applications of the Differential and Integral
Calculus.
Text-Books.—Loney's Trigonometry, Part I; Charles Smith's Conic
Sections, or Bailey and Wood's Analytic Geometry. In the Calculus a book
of the grade of Osborne's Calculus is used.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
Class C.—This class meets three times each week (four
and a half hours) throughout the session. It begins with
the study of Analytical Geometry of three dimensions, and
takes a systematic course in the Differential and Integral
Calculus, and completes the course with a study of Differential
Equations.
Text-Books.—Charles Smith's Solid Geometry; Williamson's Differ-
ential and Integral Calculus; Johnson's Differential Equations.
This course is required for graduation in the M. A.
course of Mathematics.
PH. D.
Class D.—This class meets three times each week throughout
the session. The topics discussed are: The Theory of
the Number System; Determinants; the Infinitesimal and
Finite Calculus and the general Theory of Functions.
Reference Books.—Scott's Determinants; Laurent Traité d'Analyse;
Chrystal's Algebra; Boole's Finite Differences, and Harkness and Morley's
Theory of Functions.
Class E.—The first half-year will be devoted to a course
on the Applications of the Differential and Integral Calculus
to Geometry, with special reference to the Theory of
Surfaces—and Curves on Surfaces. During the second
half-year a course in Pure Geometry, beginning with Projective
Geometry and proceeding to elementary Higher
Geometry will be offered.
This class, and the following one, meet three times
a week, and the subjects will be presented by lectures.
Reference Books.—Joachimsthal's "Anwendung der Differential und
Integralrechung auf die Allgemeine Theorie der Flächen, und der Linien
Doppelter Krümmung; Salmon's "Geometry of Three Dimensions"; Darboux's
"Théorie Général des Surfaces"; Reye's "Geometrie der Lage";
Klein's Lectures on "Höhere Geometrie," Volume I.
Class F.—In this class will be presented a course in Lie's
Theory of Transformation Groups, with Applications to
Differential Equations and to Higher Geometry.
Reference Books.—Lie's Works on Transformation Groups; Klein's
Lectures on "Höhere Geometrie," Volume II.
The candidate for the Ph. D. degree is required to
complete the work of all the classes in the graduate courses,
and to present a thesis which shall be acceptable to the
faculty.
In addition to the regular courses of instruction the
Mathematical Club of the University affords valuable
instruction in its formal and informal discussion of mathematical
topics and of the papers read.
During the present session Mr. Lovett delivers the
following lectures:
A course on the Geometry of Transformations embracing
the following subjects: Historic point and curve transformations
as principles of correspondence; the elementary
notions lineal-element, element-association, and contact-transformation
of Lie's geometry in the plane; determination of
all proper contact-transformations in the plane; definition
of contact transformations by means of differential equations;
an account of the applications of contact-transformations
with examples; the projective transformation; the
transformation by reciprocal radii; the pedal transformations;
the transformations by reciprocal polars; pentaspheric
coördinates; contact-transformations in ordinary space;
Lie's transformation of straight lines into spheres; transformations
in spaces of higher dimensions.
SCHOOL OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS.
PROFESSOR THORNTON.
The work of this School is divided between the Academic
and the Engineering Departments. In the former
the following courses are offered, each of three lectures a
week:
B. A. COURSE.
General Mechanics.—In this course, which comprises the
work in Mechanics for the B. A. degree, the subjects
studied are Statics, Strength of Materials, Graphical Statics,
and the Elementary Dynamics of a Particle and a Rigid
Body. Elementary mathematical methods are employed;
but no student is prepared to undertake the course who has
not a sound working knowledge of Algebra. Geometry,
and Plane Trigonometry, with the elements of Analytical
Geometry.
Text-Books.—Wright's Theoretical Mechanics; Jacoby's Graphical
Statics; Merriman's Mechanics of Materials; Lectures.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.

Graduate work is offered also to candidates for the Ph. D.
degree and other students of Advanced Mathematics. The
subjects offered for 1897-98 will be the Theory of Elasticity,
and the Theory of Attractions. Extended courses of reading
are prescribed, lectures will be delivered on special
topics, and investigations will be planned and carried out
in the Mechanical Laboratory.
SCHOOL OF PRACTICAL ASTRONOMY.
PROFESSOR STONE.
B. A.
General Astronomy.—The aim of this course is to give
such a knowledge of the facts, principles, and methods of
Astronomy as every well-educated person should possess.
The preparation required is a good working knowledge of
Arithmetic, Algebra through Quadratics, Plane and Solid
Synthetic Geometry, and Plane Trigonometry through the
Solution of Triangles.
Text-Books.—Howe's Elements of Descriptive Astronomy; Barlow
and Bryan's Elementary Mathematical Astronomy; Young's General
Astronomy; Gauss's Tables of Logarithms.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
The courses mentioned in the paragraph following
this, although primarily designed to meet the wants of
candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, are also
open to candidates for the degree of Master of Arts, who
are required to satisfactorily complete, in addition to the
advanced courses.
PH. D.
The courses offered for the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy vary from year to year. During the session of
1895-96 Gauss's Theoria Motus was read. During that of
1896-97 lectures were given introductory to Celestial
Mechanics, largely based on the first volume of Tisseraud's
Mécanique Céleste.
For the year 1897-98 the following courses are offered:
1. History of Astronomy. From the beginning of the session to the
first intermediate examination.
2. Motions of the Solar System. From the first to the second intermediate
examination.
3. Least Squares. From the second intermediate to the final examination.
4. Lunar Theory. Throughout the session.
Systematic training is also given in numerical computation,
and in the use of Astronomical instruments, and
students are encouraged to engage in such original work as
their time and attainments may permit.
Completion of the M. A. course in the School of
Mathematics or that of Natural Philosophy may be substituted,
if desired, for the equivalent work in Astronomy as
a qualification for candidacy for the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy by those who elect Astronomy as one of their
subjects.
For information in regard to Fellowships in Astronomy,
application should be made to the professor in charge of
the School.
The Astronomical Observatory is situated upon an elevation
known as Mount Jefferson, which furnishes an unobstructed
horizon. The principal building is a rotunda forty-five
feet in diameter, and contains the great Clark refractor of
twenty-six inches aperture. The building and instrument
are the gift of Leander J. McCormick, Esq., of Chicago.
The computing rooms are adjoining, and contain clock,
chronograph, etc., and a working library. In a smaller
building are a three-inch Fauth transit and a four-inch.
Kahler equatorial.
NATURAL PHILOSOPHY.
PROFESSOR SMITH,
Mr. CORBITT.
B. A. COURSE.

includes Elementary Mechanics, Heat, Electricity, Sound
and Light. Instruction is given by lectures, fully illustrated
by experiment. No special mathematical preparation is
required for entering this class. Its members are expected
to perform a graded set of simple exercises in the Physical
Laboratory, the hours for which are accommodated, as far
as possible, to the convenience of each student.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
2. The class in Advanced Physics. In this course,
selected portions of the preceding one, (which may be
changed from session to session) are more fully developed
by the aid of the lower mathematics.
The Laboratory work in this class is more advanced
and extensive, aiming at the exact measurement of physical
quantities. This is the M. A. course in this School.
3. The class in Electricity. This course deals with Electricity
in theory and practice. Thorough study of approved
treatises is joined to laboratory exercise in the best methods
with good instruments.
Text-Books.—Elbert's Magnetic Fields of Force; J. J. Thomson's
Elements of Electricity and Magnetism; Ewing's Magnetic Induction;
Jackson's Alternating Currents.
The special courses offered to students preparing to be
teachers and to those who are candidates for the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy will be announced in a circular to be
hereafter issued.
THE ROUSS PHYSICAL LABORATORY.
A detailed description of this building, now nearing completion, with
drawings and sections, together with an account of its equipment, and of
the work in practical physics it offers will be published hereafter in a
separate pamphlet. Persons interested are invited to send their names to
the secretary, Mr. James B. Baker, University of Virginia, and copies will
be mailed to them.
SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY.
PROFESSOR MALLET,
Dr. HARRISON.
In this School the following courses are offered:
General Chemistry.—This course consists of three lectures
a week throughout the session. The fundamental ideas of
chemical science, the relations of Chemistry to Physics, the
laws expressing the facts of chemical combination by weight
and by volume, the atomic theory as at present developed
in connection with Chemistry, the chemical nomenclature
and symbols now in use, the foundations of our knowledge
of chemical structure, and a general survey of the Descriptive
Chemistry of the elements and their compounds,
inorganic and organic, are brought forward in order, with
incidental allusion to the applications in the arts and
manufactures of the facts mentioned.
Text-Books.—Fownes's Chemistry (last edition); Syllabus of the
Professor's Lectures. Recommended for Reference.—Roscoe and Schorlemmer's
(or Miller's) Elements of Chemistry; Lothar Meyer's Outlines of
Theoretical Chemistry (English translation); Bernthsen's Text-Book of
Organic Chemistry, translated by McGowan; Watt's Dictionary of Chemistry.
Industrial Chemistry.—This course, in which also three
lectures a week are delivered, examines in detail the chemical
principles and processes specially concerned in the more
important arts and manufactures, upon which the development
of the natural resources of the country in large
measure depends, the opportunity being thus presented of
preparation for such positions as those of the miner and
metallurgist, the chemical manufacturer, the dyer, bleacher,
tanner, sugar-refiner, etc.
Text-Book.—Wagner's Chemical Technology. Recommended for
Reference.—Richardson and Watts's Chemical Technology; Muspratt's
Chemistry as Applied to Arts and Manufactures; Ure's Dictionary of Arts
and Manufactures; Girardin's Leçons de Chimie Élémentaire appliquée aux
Arts Industriels; Percy's Metallurgy, etc.
The lectures in both courses are illustrated by suitable
experiments, and by such specimens, models, drawings, etc.,
as the various subjects require. The collections of the University
in illustration of the processes and products of
Industrial Chemistry have been procured at much expense
and pains in this country, England, France and Germany,
and are unusually extensive and good; among the best on
this side of the Atlantic.
In both courses there are one or more reviews each
week of the subjects under discussion, involving questions
put, by, as well as to, the students; and exercises in writing
are from time to time given out to afford practice in the
calculations which are needed by the chemist.
Graduate work is offered in either course, and either or
both may be taken by the candidate for the Ph. D. degree.
Laboratory work will be required on subjects involving
original investigation. It is desirable that the student shall,
himself, as far as possible, select subjects for investigation,
but when he cannot do so, suitable questions will be presented
to him, and he will be encouraged to work them out
for himself, with only such aid and guidance as may prove
to be indispensable. Advanced reading may also be prescribed,
especially in the shape of the literature of particular
topics, to be looked up from various sources and condensed
by the student.
Graduation in General Chemistry is required for the
B. A. degree, graduation in both General and Industrial
Chemistry for the M. A. For admission to a graduate
course in the School of Chemistry or in the School of
Analytical Chemistry, previous graduation in both the
schools named will be required; but this part of the
requirement may be waived, provided satisfactory evidence
be furnished that the student has already made equivalent
attainments elsewhere.
SCHOOL OF ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY.
PROFESSOR DUNNINGTON.
The regular work of this school, constituting a complete
course in Practical Chemistry, is divided into two courses,
as follows:
1. This course consists of three lessons a week throughout
the session, on each occasion the students spending
three or four hours in practical experiments in the Laboratory.
A course in Chemical Manipulation is first given,
then Blowpipe Analysis and recognition of ores and a
systematic course in inorganic Qualitative Analysis followed
by practice in analysis of salts, alloys and ores, determination
of minerals and the examination of potable water,
coal, clay and so on, together with some simpler quantitative
determinations.
2. The work of the second course is also given in
three lessons a week throughout the session, each being
followed by four hours or more of practical laboratory work.
This course is primarily one in Quantitative Analysis.
After some training in manipulation and gravimetric
estimations, fire assaying of ores of lead, gold and silver is
pursued, then volumetric estimations and a full course in
Quantitative Analysis of minerals, ores, coal, soil, technical
products, and so on. As the student advances in the course
he is encouraged to undertake original research and assisted
in its prosecution; and in determining his fitness for graduation,
work of this kind is considered as having much
weight.
The Laboratory is open to students six days in the
week during all the working hours of the day.
Students may matriculate either for the first course, or
for both courses at the same time; candidates for graduation
are required to complete both courses. Those who
accomplish it are prepared for work as Analytical Chemists,
Assayers, or Teachers of Chemistry.
Among the works recommended to laboratory students are: Fresenius's
Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis; Venable's Qualitative Analysis
(2d ed.); Greville Williams's Hand-book of Chemical Manipulation;
Woehler's Examples for Practice in Chemical Analysis; Foye's Hand-book
of Mineralogy; A. Classen's Elementary Quantitative Analysis.
PH. D.
The graduate course is designed for those seeking the
degree of Ph. D. and also for such students as desire to
increase the range of their experience as analysts and to
cultivate their powers of original investigation.
It is required of those who enter this course that they
shall have previously graduated both in this School and in
General Chemistry, or that they shall have previously made
equivalent attainments elsewhere.
Laboratory work will be conducted daily, and suggestions
and due assistance will be given in its prosecution.
While the work is adapted to the special aims or taste
of each student, it will in all cases comprise some practice
in the more elaborate processes of analysis, ultimate and
proximate organic analysis, some study in analytical methods
and some original problems, also the reading and the summarizing
of extracts from current journals, and for all who
are seeking the degree of Ph. D., a dissertation embodying
the results of some original research.
SPECIAL COURSES.
In addition to the foregoing, the following Special
Courses are given in this School. They are open without
additional charge to the regular students of the School.
For fees to others, see Expenses.
1. A laboratory course of twelve lessons in Practical
Pharmacy, including the compounding and dispensing of
drugs. The pursuit of this course will enable the practitioner
satisfactorily to dispense medicines, and it will afford
him needed familiarity with handling chemicals and the
forms of prescriptions.
2. A course of twenty-four lectures on Agricultural
Chemistry, including a discussion of the chemical and physical
properties of the atmosphere, of soils and of plants; the
chemistry of the processes of vegetable life so far as they
are related to Agriculture; the chemical composition and
preparation of manures; the chemistry of stock feeding,
and so on. This course is open without charge to students
students.
For reference: Johnston's Elements of Agricultural Chemistry, 17th
Edition: London, 1894.
The Chemical Laboratory is a building planned and
erected for the purpose. It is warmed throughout by hot
water, completely fitted with the most approved appliances,
and stocked with apparatus, models, materials, and specimens.
The commodious lecture-room, with work and storerooms
attached, is provided with every convenience for exhibiting
a complete series of experiments illustrating the lectures
on General Chemistry. The large room assigned to
Analytical Chemistry will accommodate fifty working
students, and is furnished with work-tables, gas, water and
all proper laboratory fixtures; smaller rooms are devoted
to weighing, evaporations, assaying, etc., and all requisite
apparatus, chemicals, minerals, materials for analysis, etc.,
are kept constantly supplied by home purchase and importation.
The Museum of Industrial Chemistry contained in the
same building, consists of a very large number of specimens,
collected at much expense and pains in this country
and abroad, to illustrate the products and processes of
Chemistry applied to the arts and manufactures, and is so
arranged as to be a most valuable aid to the student of
Industrial Chemistry
CORCORAN SCHOOL OF NATURAL HISTORY
AND GEOLOGY.
PROFESSOR FONTAINE.
In this School two subjects are taught, Geology and
Descriptive Mineralogy. There are two courses—first, a
course embracing the requisites in Geology for the attainment
of the degree of Bachelor of Arts; and second, a
course covering what is required in Mineralogy and Geology
for the degree of Master of Arts.
B. A. COURSE.
Three lectures a week will be given throughout the
session. The design of the course is to enable the student
should be possessed by a well educated man. As full an
exposition of the fundamental principles will be given as
the time will allow.
Text-Books.—Scott's Introduction to Geology. The instruction will
be in part by lecture.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
This course consists of two divisions, one in Mineralogy,
the other in Geology.
Mineralogy.—The course in Mineralogy closes with the
examination which takes place in January. Three lectures
a week are given in it. In this course attention is paid to
crystallography, and especially to the physical properties of
minerals. In Descriptive Mineralogy the relations, geological
occurrence, and history of the individual species are
made prominent.
Geology.—This division of the course begins after the
completion of Mineralogy in January. Three lectures a
week will be given. A knowledge of the principles taught
in the B. A. course will be assumed. The more general
and complicated problems in all the branches of Geology
will be dealt with in this course. As thorough a treatment
as possible will be given of Stratigraphy, Lithology, and
Palæontology. More stress will be laid on the methods of
field-work and the application of geological principles. The
aim will be to give such a knowledge of the subject as may
be useful to the student in bread-winning pursuits, or may
serve as a basis for the more specialized course required for
the attainment of the degree of Ph. D.
Text-Books.—Dana's Manual of Geology. For Reference.—Geikie's
Text-Book of Geology. The instruction will be in part by lecture.
PH. D.
The course in this school is intended to give the student
as large a stock of useful information as possible, to teach
him methods of investigation, and to train him in habits of
observation. Original research will be insisted on, and
efforts in some line of special study.
Topics for study will be taken from both of the subjects
taught in this school. The abundant material in the
Lewis Brooks Museum, mentioned below, gives unusual
facilities for the pursuit of graduate work.
Descriptive Mineralogy.—The course in Mineralogy is
so selected as to give the student a good knowledge of as wide
a range of the principles as possible, and at the same time
to cause him to acquire a practical knowledge of the various
mineral species. In the practical study, the more common
minerals, and those of more importance from an economic
and geologic point of view, will have preference. A practical
knowledge of the crystal forms and of the characteristic
groupings and massive forms of minerals, will be
required. Special attention will be paid to the relations
of minerals, their association in nature, their geological
occurrence in history. The student will be trained to
determine minerals, as far as possible, by their obvious
characteristics, without the help of tests, and practical
examinations will be held, from time to time, to test his
skill. One or more theses will be required.
Dana's Text-Book of Geology, and Weisbach's Mineral Tables will
be used, and topics from various authors will be assigned for study in special
cases.
Geology.—In Geology the aim will be to fit the student
for independent and original research. He will study as
thoroughly as possible the broader problems of the science,
involving the knowledge of stratigraphical principles.
Special attention will be given to imparting a practical
knowledge of the various rocks, and of the animal and
plant fossils of the different eras, with the view of using
them in determining unknown formations. Stress will be
laid upon field work, and the methods of determining and
describing the geology of new regions. To impart such
knowledge, the student will be required to work up some
particular region or formation, and report his results.
Topics involving a knowledge of the literature and growth
assigned to form the subjects of theses.
Dana's Manual of Geology, and Geikie's Text-Book of Geology, will
be used as text-books, and selected books of other authors will be used when
necessary.
The Lewis Brooks Museum contains collections illustrating
the main sub-divisions 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 all the different kinds of rocks, classified according to
mineral character and the formations in which they occur;
the collection of fossils, plaster casts, maps, etc., is exceptionally
fine, and fully illustrates 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
minerals, and many of the rarer ones, in good specimens.
Zoölogy is well illustrated by a fine and large collection of
mounted skeletons, stuffed animals, dried specimens, plaster
casts, etc. In Botany the collections contain charts, papier-maché
models of flowers and fruits, sections of wood, etc.;
the bulk of the collection is in the form of an herbarium,
selected from the most important and interesting botanical
regions of the world. 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 will be
increased as rapidly as possible.
These large and carefully selected collections of geological
and mineralogical objects afford unsurpassed facilities
for the full illustration of the principles taught. As free
access to these collections is allowed the student, he can
find in their study an opportunity, rarely obtained, for
gaining a practical acquaintance with natural objects
acquired from various parts of the world, and chosen for
their typical character. These collections are especially
useful to students pursuing graduate courses of study in
Geology and Mineralogy.
The professor, when the number of applicants is sufficient,
organizes a party of geological exploration. The
field-work is done in the month of July, and is entirely
optional with the students. Persons engaged in the study
of Geology and Mineralogy may, although not members of
the University class, with the consent of the Professor, and
on paying $25 to the Proctor, join the exploring party.
MILLER SCHOOL OF BIOLOGY AND
AGRICULTURE.
PROFESSOR TUTTLE.
Mr. BALL.
Mr. HERRICK.
The work of this School is designed to meet the wants
of students who desire such knowledge of the principles of
Biology and of the methods of biological research as should
properly form part of a liberal education, or who desire
such training as will fit them for independent work as
students or as teachers in that department of knowledge;
and of those who seek such acquaintance with the facts and
laws of Biology as will prepare them for an intelligent study
of the relations of Biology to Agriculture.
B. A. COURSES.
Two introductory courses are offered, each of which is
intended to serve as a means of rendering the student
familiar with the method, the aims, and the fundamental
laws of Biology while he is engaged in the one case with
the study of plants, in the other with that of a large and
important group of animals. Each course consists of three
lectures a week throughout the session, the lectures being
accompanied in each case with associated laboratory exercises.
Graduation in either of these courses may be offered
as one of the electives for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
I. Botany.—The course begins with the study of the
anatomy, both gross and microscopic, of a series of representative
plant forms, beginning with the highest and
passing to the lowest plants; with this is associated the
study of the elements of vegetable physiology. The second
of classification, and the consideration of the characteristics
of the leading divisions of the vegetable kingdom,
and particularly of the non-vascular plants. The concluding
portion is given to the more specific study of the classification
and distribution of higher plants, and to the local flora.
Text-Books.—Strasburger's Practical Botany (Hillhouse tr.). MacDougal's
Plant Physiology. Gray's Manual of Botany.
To the student who seeks a knowledge of the principles
of Biology as a part of a general education, this course is
particularly commended. All the fundamental laws of
Biology are well illustrated in the study of the morphology
and physiology of plants, and in most instances in such a
manner as to cause them to be more readily apprehended
by the beginner than is the case in the study of animals.
II. Comparative Anatomy.—This course is devoted to the
study of the structure and development of the Vertebrata.
During the first part of the session several representative
forms are dissected, their organization being at the same
time discussed in the accompanying lectures. This is
followed by a study of their histology, particular attention
being paid to mammalian histology as understood by the
aid of that of the lower vertebrates. The work is done in the
laboratory, the associated reading and lectures being
accessory thereto. The work of the session is concluded by
a course of lectures upon vertebrate embryology, accompanied
by laboratory work upon the development of the
frog, the chick, and such other forms as may be available.
This course is recommended to students who contemplate
the study of medicine here or elsewhere. It is included in
the required work of the first year of the course in medicine,
and students passing it with the required grade will there be
credited with it.
Text-Books.—Parker's Zoötomy; the Professor's Notes on Histolgy;
Shaefer's Embryology; Foster and Balfour's Practical Embryology.
GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
In addition to the introductory or B. A. courses above
described, the following advanced courses are offered to
students prepared to undertake them. In each the work
will be chiefly done in the laboratory, the student being in
large measure independent of his associates; such lectures
will be given from time to time and such reading indicated
as will aid the student in an independent investigation of
the subject in hand. The relation of these courses to
degrees is indicated below; the completion of Course V, as
a Ph. D. course, involves summer work at a seaside laboratory
as an essential.
III. Vegetable Morphology.—An advanced course in
Botany, devoted chiefly to the study of the Algæ and Fungi,
and to the histology and embryology of the Vascular
Plants. The completion of Course I, or its equivalent
either here or elsewhere, is required as a preliminary to
this course.
The subjects offered for the session of 1897-98 will be
the Siphoneæ; the Laminariaceæ; the Nemalionales; the
Phycomycetes; and the histology and development of
Botrychium.
Text-Books.—The library of the department is especially well supplied
with standard works, monographs, and periodicals pertaining to
Cryptogamic Botany.
IV. Vertebrate Morphology.—An advanced course based
on Course II, the completion of which, or its equivalent,
is required as preliminary. The work will consist of more
detailed comparative study of vertebrate structure and
development, and of the forms which may be regarded as
phylogenetically related to the vertebrate stock.
The subjects for the work of the session of 1897-98
will be the Nervous Axis; the Cephalic Musculature;
the Adenoid Bodies; and the Tunicata.
Text-Books will be indicated as needed. The library of the department
contains a large amount of standard and periodical literature bearing
on the subject matter of this course.
The completion of Courses I and II and either III or
IV will be required of candidates for a diploma of graduation
in the School of Biology, and of those offering Biology
as one of their electives for the degree of Master of Arts.
PH. D.
The more advanced work in Biology will be devoted
chiefly to Vertebrate Anatomy and Morphology, each of
the systems of organs being in turn critically studied; it
will in substance be an extension of the work of Course
IV. It includes in addition the following course.
V. Zoölogy.—This course, open to graduate students
only, includes the study of Animal Morphology, as illustrated
by the anatomy, histology and, as far as possible,
the embryology of a series of representative species chosen
from the principal divisions of the animal kingdom, the
principles of classification, and the arrangement of the
various orders and classes of animals in larger groups as
indicated by their structural affinities.
Text-Books.—Rolleston's Forms of Animal Life; Lang's Text-Book
of Comparative Anatomy; Balfour's Embryology.
This course will be required of all students who elect
Biology as one of their studies for the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy; those who elect that subject as a major study
will be required, in addition, to do such work as may be
assigned to them individually.
VI. Practical Biology and Agriculture.—The relations of
Biology to Agriculture are so manifold, and the subdivisions
of the latter subject so numerous, that it would be
impossible to exhaust the discussion of either in the work
of any one year.. A course consisting in part of lectures
and in part of an equivalent amount of practical work and
collateral reading will be offered yearly. It will include
the discussion of selected topics pertaining to Economic
Botany (such as the diseases or the parasites of plants, the
natural history of cultivated varieties, and the like); to
Economic Zoölogy (such as the life-history and treatment
of injurious or beneficial insects, external or internal
domestic animals, etc.); and to questions connected with
the Principles of Agriculture (such as the laws of growth
and nutrition of crops, the drainage and tillage of soils,
systems of rotation and allied topics).
Text-Books for 1897-98.—Sorauer's Physiology of Plants (Weiss tr.);
Tubeuf's Diseases of Plants induced by Cryptogamic Parasites (Smith tr.);
Chauveau's Anatomy of the Domestic Animals.
Candidates for a diploma of graduation in Biology and
Agriculture are required to complete Courses I, II, and VI.
Substitution of work fully equivalent in amount and
character may be made for the subjects published as
requirements for either of the graduations in this school
from year to year in the case of any students whose previous
training or special aptitudes give good reason therefor.
The Biological Laboratory is well provided with instruments
for the gross and minute dissection of animals and
plants; microscopes, microtomes, reagents, and materials
for the staining and mounting of preparations; apparatus
for photography and microphotography, and other necessary
appliances, not only for student work, but for investigation
and research as well. In addition to the large and
valuable collections of the Brooks Museum, an abundant
supply of other necessary specimens and material is furnished.
A library of reference is attached to the Laboratory,
and students have access to a number of leading
biological and agricultural journals, thus acquiring practice
in the intelligent use of current literature.

ACADEMIC DEGREES.
In each Academic School a diploma of graduation is
conferred in the B. A. course. Students who complete
both the B. A. and the M. A. course in any School are
entitled to a diploma of graduation in the School. The
titled degrees conferred in the Academic Department are
Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts of the University of
Virginia is designed to secure in the candidate such a
thorough and well-proportioned general training in all of
the great departments of human knowledge — Ancient
Languages, Modern Languages, History and Literature,
Philosophy, Mathematical Science, Natural Science and
Natural History—as will fit him to fill his part in the vocations
of life, whether in the field of business, in the pursuit
of the learned professions, or in the special studies preparatory
to didactic or scientific work. This degree is accordingly
conferred upon a student who has been graduated
in nine B. A. courses, selected from the following list, of
which at least one must be taken from each of the seven
groups indicated, the other two may be chosen at will:
A.—Ancient Languages.
Latin—Greek.
B.—Modern Languages.
French—Spanish—Italian—German—English Language.
C.—History and Literature.
General History—English Literature.
D.—Philosophical Science.
Political Economy—Logic and Psychology—Ethics and
Philosophy.
E.—Mathematical Sciences.
Mathematics—Astronomy—Mechanics.
F.—Natural Sciences.
Physics—General Chemistry.
G.—Natural History.
Geology—Botany—Comparative Anatomy.
The degree of Master of Arts of the University of Virginia
is designed for students who desire to extend their work in
certain departments of learning, so as to lay a broader
foundation for professional study, to equip themselves for
the work of teaching, or to prepare for specialized lines of
research in letters or science. It is conferred upon a
Bachelor of Arts who has been graduated in each of four
Schools, elected by himself and approved by the Faculty.
The utmost freedom of election will be encouraged in the
arrangement of these courses, subject to the condition that
the four lines of advanced work chosen shall be so related
as to form a rationally connected whole.
It is expressly ordered, however, that none of the work
done for the B. A. degree shall be counted again as part of
the advanced work required for the M. A. degree, nor shall
the advanced work done for the M. A. degree be counted
also for the B. A. degree.
The preliminary degree required of candidates for the
M. A. degree may be that of this University or of some
other chartered institution of learning. But in the latter
case the degree shall be submitted for approval to the
Faculty, who have absolute power to accept or reject the
degree offered. The candidate must in all cases be graduated
in the B. A. course in each school before he is admitted
to the M. A. course in that school. But this last condition
may be waived by the Faculty in favor of a candidate
who evidences upon examination adequate preliminary
training to pursue with profit the M. A. course simultaneously
with the B. A. course of the school.
A Bachelor of Arts of any other chartered institution
of learning who enters this University as a candidate for
the M. A. degree, must submit to the Faculty a statement
showing the four major studies in which he proposes to
pursue the M. A. courses, and five associated minor studies,
which would complete the requirements for the B. A. and
M. A. degrees. Under the regulations of the Visitors, he will
be required to pursue here both the B. A. and M. A. courses
in the four major studies. But in any or all of the five minor
B. A. courses upon presenting his diploma and passing
A SPECIAL EXAMINATION at this University in such studies.
This examination, which shall be held in writing, will, in
all cases, be of a practical character, designed to test the
permanent acquisition by the student of a sound general
knowledge of the several subjects. Bachelors of Arts who
are deficient in any of the minor studies may fill out their
schemes of study by attending the regular B. A. courses at
this University in those subjects and passing the regular
examinations.
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is offered to students
who propose to devote their energies to specialized
research in some of the various departments of letters or
sciences.
CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY.
Admission to the advanced University courses as a
candidate for this degree will be granted any B. A. or M. A.
of this institution or of any other institution of learning,
provided in the latter case the Faculty are satisfied with his
preliminary training. The Faculty will accept as evidence
of this adequate general education the degree of B. A., or
that of M. A. of any reputable chartered college or university,
but the Academic Faculty will pass, if necessary,
upon the standing of the institution in question.
The preparation of the candidate for entrance upon the
Ph. D. courses in the particular subjects selected shall be
passed upon by the Academic Faculty on the basis of a
report from the professors in charge of the schools selected.
These professors may satisfy themselves of such preparation
by any test they see fit to apply, including a formal examination
if they deem this necessary.
The preparation required shall be substantially equivalent
to that of a student graduating in the M. A. courses
of each of the two schools in question.
Requirements for the Degree.—At least two years of
special advanced work is required after admission to candidacy
under the conditions above stated. It is required of
in the case of a professor in a chartered institution of learning
whose department embraces the studies elected by him:
of such a candidate but one year of residence is required.
It should be clearly understood that this period of candidacy
represents a minimum requirement only. The degree does
not depend upon any allotment of time, but upon the completion
of advanced work of a specified amount and
character, the determination of which is in each school left
to the professor at its head. Work must be elected in two
subjects belonging to two distinct schools; one of these
subjects shall be designated as the major; the election of
work and the choice of a major subject shall be submitted
to the Faculty for its approval.
On the completion of the approved courses of study
the candidate shall submit and present for his approval to
the professor at the head of the school in which his major
study lies a dissertation showing independent research upon
or original treatment of some subject within the province
of his major study; this dissertation must be submitted not
later than the first day of May immediately preceding the
Final Day on which the degree is sought; on its approval
it must be printed and fifty copies deposited in the Library
of the University. On the acceptance of the dissertation
and the passage of the final examinations the degree shall
be conferred.
EXPENSES.
(IN THE ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT.)
A student's expenses may be divided into (1) those
University charges which are the same each year for all
students; (2) those also of the University, which vary with
the course of study pursued; and (3) those charges,
embracing his living expenses, which vary with the purse,
tastes, etc., of the individual.
Under the first head are included:
| Matriculation fee, | $40.00 |
| Contingent deposit, | 10.00 |
The Matriculation or University fee is devoted chiefly to
the current expenses common to the whole University; it also
entitles the student to the use of the Library; to the privileges
of the Gymnasium, with free baths, private lockers,
etc., and the advice and aid of the Instructor in Physical
Culture; and, in addition, to free medical attention by the
members of the Medical Faculty in case of illness; and if
necessary, to care and nursing in a well-equipped Infirmary
maintained on the University grounds for students only.
The Contingent Deposit is liable for any damage to University
property for which the student is responsible, or for
violations of the Library or other University rules. It is
returned at the end of the session, less any charges that
may be made against it.
Under the second head is comprised the charge for
instruction. This in the Academic Department varies with
the number of Schools elected. The fee for one alone is
$50; for two, $30 each; for three or more, $25 each, where
the regular B. A. or M. A. courses are pursued. In certain
courses in Chemistry special tuition and laboratory fees are
charged, as follows: In Analytical Chemistry the charge for
either course is $60, with a probable cost of $10 for apparatus,
etc. If both courses be taken the same year the fee
is $100, with $15 probable cost for apparatus, in either case
the fee includes the materials used. Graduate students in
Chemistry are charged $50 for tuition, with a probable cost
of $10 for apparatus; the cost of laboratory materials is not
included, but varies with the work done. The tuition fee
for the course in Agricultural Chemistry is $15, with no
additional charge.
There is no charge for tuition to Academic students
from Virginia who have been admitted to the University
in accordance with the conditions stated in a subsequent
paragraph; they are, however, required to pay the fees for
laboratory expenses if they elect either of the courses named
in that connection.
Students are required to elect work in at least three
Schools, unless excused by the Faculty. The ordinary
books, stationery, etc., and for laboratory charges in some
courses, it may be safely said that the average cost to
Academic students (other than Virginians) for instruction
is $100. Where work is undertaken in four or more schools,
or where the special courses mentioned are taken, this sum
would be increased proportionally.
The expenses under the third head above given vary
so greatly with the individual that it is impossible to state
them with any degree of certainty. It can with safety be
said that by the strictest economy the cost of living (including
board, fire, lights, service and laundry) can be brought
within $18 a month for the session. On this basis, the cost
to an Academic student, including fees, tuition as above
estimated, and living, but excluding clothing, traveling
expenses, and all sundries may be estimated at about $310.
Most students, however, spend from $20 to $30 a month for
ordinary living expenses, and some still more than either of
these sums. As a basis for intelligent judgment the following
figures may be given. University rooms, wherever situated,
rent at the regular price of $30 for the session; $20 may
be taken as minimum for furniture; fuel and lights may be
put at $25 for the session; when two students occupy one
room, each of these items would of course be divided in
half. There is a uniform charge of $9 a session to each
student in the University rooms for service; washing costs
from $1.50 a month upward; board from $11 a month
upward. Rooms and board can be obtained in private
families at varying prices, but in no case can good accommodations
be obtained at a price materially below the estimate
above given.
Matriculation fees, the contingent deposits, rent of
rooms in the University buildings, and service for the same
are payable upon entrance.
Students from Virginia.—In compliance with the statute
(Virginia Code 1887, Ch. 68, §1554), the University offers to
white male students from Virginia who are sixteen years or
more of age, instruction without charge for tuition in all
special courses in Chemistry), subject to the conditions stated
below. Such students are required to pay the Matriculation
fee and make the usual Contingent deposit. They are also
required to pay the regular laboratory charges for materials,
etc., in courses of study where such charges occur. If they
occupy rooms on the University grounds they are of course
subject to the usual charges for rent and service. The
saving to Virginia students varies from $60 to $100 according
to the number of Schools elected.
The Faculty are required by the law above referred to
to satisfy themselves in the case of each applicant either by
actual examinations or by a diploma or certificate from
some college or preparatory school, that he has made such
proficiency in each branch of study which he proposes to
pursue as will enable him to avail himself of the advantages
offered by the University. Examinations for admission in
accordance with the terms of this law are required as follows.
The examinations are held at the beginning of the
session; due announcement is made of the hour and place
of each:
1. For admission to the School of Latin, on forms, syntax, and Books i, ii
of Cæsar's Commentaries, with Cicero's Orations against Catiline.
2. For admission to the School of Greek, on forms, syntax, and Books i, ii
of Xenophon's Anabasis.
3. For admission to the School of Mathematics, Geometry, Algebra, and
Plane Trigonometry.
For admission to the other Schools, a good knowledge
of English and Arithmetic is alone required.
To be entitled to free tuition as a Virginia student it is
necessary that the applicant's parents be bona fide residents
of the State if he be under twenty-one years of age; if he
has attained his majority it is necessary that he be a bona
fide resident. A resident of the State is one who is living
in it at the time the application is made and has no present
intentions of removing therefrom in the future. No other
person can honestly avail himself of this privilege.
Privileged Students.—Ministers of the gospel may attend
any of the Literary or Scientific Schools of the University
without the payment of tuition fees. The same privilege
will be extended to any young man who submits testimonials
that he is an approved candidate for the ministry, and
unable to meet the expenses of education at the University
without aid.
White Male Teachers and superintendents of the Public
Schools of Virginia will be admitted, during the last three
months of the session, to the Schools of the Academic
Department of the University without payment of fees,
upon presentation of certificates that they have been teachers
in the Public Schools. Applicants for admission are
requested to send in their names to the Chairman of the
Faculty not later than March 5. Lodgings can be had
near the University. The only necessary expenses will be
for board, lights, and washing, which will together cost
from $4 to $6 a week.
