These examinations, like all others held by the University of Virginia,
will be conducted under the honor system, and each paper submitted
must be accompanied by the usual pledge, the omission of which
will render it invalid.

In order that applicants residing at a distance from the University
may know before coming here whether they are prepared to enter upon
the work of its courses, it may be stated that the examination and marks
of the American College Entrance Examinations Board will be accepted
in lieu of those of the University in any of these subjects.

Study and Practice.—This part of the examination presupposes the
thorough study of each of the works named below. The examination will
be upon subject-matter, form and structure. In addition, the candidate
may be required to answer questions involving the essentials of English
grammar, and questions on the leading facts in those periods of English
literary history to which the prescribed works belong.

The books set for this part of the examination will be:

1909, 1910, 1911: Shakespeare's Macbeth; Milton's Lycidas, Comus,
L'Allegro, and Il Penseroso; Burke's Speech on Conciliation with America,
or Washington's Farewell Address and Webster's First Bunker Hill Oration;
Macaulay's Life of Johnson, or Carlyle's Essay on Burns. Other
courses equivalent, in character and scope, to these may be offered in their
stead. [The systematic study of the Authorized Version of the Bible is
particularly recommended as an acceptable substitute.]

2. Mathematics.—The requirements imply a thorough knowledge of
Arithmetic, and in addition of either (a) Algebra through Quadratics, or
of (b) Algebra to Quadratics and three books of Plane Geometry.

A thorough practical acquaintance with ordinary Arithmetic is
assumed as underlying all preparation in Mathematics. The requirements
in Algebra to Quadratics include the following subjects: the
four fundamental operations for rational algebraic expressions, factoring,
highest common factor, lowest common multiple, complex fractions, the
solution of equations of the first degree containing one or more unknown
quantities, and of problems depending upon such equations; radicals,
including the extraction of the square root of polynomials and of numbers,
and fractional and negative exponents.

The requirements in Algebra through Quadratics include the preceding,
together with: quadratic equations, equations involving one or
more unknown quantities that can be solved by the method of quadratic
equations, and problems depending upon such equations.

The requirements in Plane Geometry include the subjects usually
treated in the first three Books; viz., the properties of the triangle
and the parallelogram, loci of points, the circle and the measurement
of angles; simple original exercises in construction and demonstration.

3. Latin.—The requirements for the General Entrance Examination
presuppose about four years of competent instruction in Latin,
involving the Roman pronunciation, habitual observance of quantity and
accent, regular drill in grammar and prose composition through all
preparatory years, elementary Reader, Nepos, Cæsar, and the easier
orations of Cicero.

4. Greek.—The requirements for the General Entrance Examination
in Greek will be satisfied by a good knowledge of the paradigms
and the main rules of syntax, and of four books of Xenophon's Anabasis.
Any good elementary grammar may be used, or any good beginner's book,
such as White's, Ball's, or Gleason and Atherton's, containing the inflections;
and any edition of the Anabasis.

5. German.—The General Entrance Examination in German presupposes
not less than one year's preparation: it includes

Translation: Müller and Wenckebach's Glück Auf; Gerstäcker's
Irrfahrten or Germelshausen; Heyse's Das Mädchen von Treppi;
Zschokke's Das Wirtshaus zu Cransac.

Grammar: A general knowledge of the declensions of nouns, pronouns,
and adjectives; of the conjugation of weak, strong, and irregular
verbs and the modal auxiliaries; of the rules of German syntax, with
especial attention to the arrangement of sentence-elements, is necessary.

Prose composition: Translation of English sentences into German.

The work required in grammar and prose composition is such as
will be found in any elementary German grammar, such as Whitney's,
Thomas's, Joynes-Meissner's, Bierwirth's Elements of German.

Instructors in preparatory schools are urged to devote at least one
hour a week to pronunciation and conversation, as a large part of the
work in the German classes of the University is oral and requires some
knowledge of spoken German.

6. French.—The requirements of the General Entrance Examination
in French presupposes a knowledge of Elementary Grammar
—forms, pronunciation, composition; and the translation of La Mére
Michel et Son Chat
(Bedollière), Colomba (Mérimée), La Poudre aux
Yeux
(Labiche et Martin).

7. Spanish.—The General Entrance requirements in Spanish will
be satisfied by a knowledge of the elements of the grammar, including
forms, pronunciation, and composition; and of representative selections
from the literature.

8. United States History.—The General Entrance requirements in
United States History imply a good knowledge of this subject as treated
in any of the text-books used in the public high schools of Virginia;
such as those by Bruce, Fisher, Hansell, Larned, and White.


82

Page 82

9. Physical Geography.—The General Entrance requirements in
Physical Geography will be satisfied by a competent knowledge of the
subject as it is made known in Maury's Physical Geography, or in any
other work of equal grade and scope.

10. Algebra (Quadratics and beyond).—The requirements in this
subject include a knowledge of simultaneous quadratics, and equations
solved like quadratics; properties of quadratic equations; the binomial
theorem for positive integral exponents; ratio and proportion; inequalities;
variations; arithmetical and geometrical progression, and simple
problems in permutations and combinations.

11. Geometry and Plane Trigonometry.—The requirements in
geometry include a knowledge of the usual constructions, theorems, and
problems given in an ordinary text-book on Plane Geometry, together
with a knowledge of the relations of planes and lines in space; the
properties and measure of prisms, pyramids, cones, and cylinders; and
the sphere and spherical triangles.

In Plane Trigonometry the requirements include the definition of
the six trigonometric functions as ratios, the relations between these
functions, values of these functions for angles of 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°,
120°, etc.; formulas for sine, cosine, or tangent of sum or difference of
two angles, formulas for sum or difference of two sines or cosines,
expressions for the functions of double or half angles, trigonometric
identities and equations, and the solution of triangles.

12. Astronomy.—The requirements in this subject will be satisfied
by a good knowledge of the elements of General Astronomy, involving
as a basis the ordinary high school mathematics, such as may be obtained
from a careful study of such text-books as Todd's New Astronomy,
Young's Elements, or Comstock's Text-book.

13. Physics.—The requirements will be met by a good elementary
knowledge of the subjects of Mechanics, Hydrostatics and Hydrokinetics,
Sound, and Light; as treated, for example, in the first volume of Carhart's
University Physics.

14. Chemistry.—The requirements in this subject imply a thorough
elementary knowledge of Chemistry as a part of a general education such
as is represented by the intelligent study of such text-books as are
mentioned in a subsequent portion of this catalogue.

15. Botany.—The requirements in this subject imply a thorough
knowledge of the elements of Botany, including the practical study of
the structure and development of representatives alike of the flowering
and the flowerless plants: students offering Botany as an elective are
required to submit the notes and drawings of the laboratory work done
by them.

Examinations for Classification.—Neither of the General Entrance
Examinations (Nos. 2a or 2b, 10 or 11) in Mathematics, if passed


83

Page 83
singly, will admit the applicant to the first or lowest course in that
subject. For admission to the School of Mathematics he must pass
upon Algebra through Quadratics (No. 2a) and the whole of Plane
Geometry.

For admission to the School of Physics the applicant must pass the
same examination for classification as that required for the School of
Mathematics.

For admission to the School of Historical and Economical Science
the applicant must pass an examination for classification which covers
the first three hundred and eighty-six pages of West's Ancient History:
the examination for classification may be waived if the applicant (a) is
twenty years of age at the beginning of the academic year; or (b) has
already passed in at least two full courses in other subjects at this
University; or (c) can convince the Professor by a certificate from a
reputable school or college that his historical knowledge and mental
discipline are adequate.

Applicants for admission to the first course in Latin must pass the
General Entrance Examination in that subject.

Students who enter upon certificates must in each instance satisfy
the professors whose classes they desire to enter of their fitness to enter
upon the work of the course proposed.

Conditional Admission.—Any applicant who succeeds in at least two
of his entrance examinations, but fails in one or both of the others, may
be allowed to enter on condition that he pass successfully the remaining
examinations on such date as the Faculty shall appoint.

Division of the Entrance Examination.—Each applicant for admission
to the University will be permitted to take the entrance examinations
either in June or in September, or part in June and part in September,
as he may elect at the time of his application. A pass certificate upon
any subject will be valid for the ensuing session or for the beginning of
the following session, but no longer.

Delayed Entrance.—All applicants for admission to the University
are required to pass the entrance examinations at one or the other of the
appointed periods except for good and reasonable cause. In cases where
the application has not been deferred upon merely frivolous grounds the
applicant may, for reasons that are approved by the President of the
University, be admitted to a special examination, for which a fee of five
dollars will be charged. This fee is payable in advance, and will in no
case be returned to the applicant.

Special Students.—Applicants for matriculation who are more than
twenty years of age, and who desire to enter for the pursuit of special
studies, may, with the approval of the Dean of the University, and
upon evidence of needful maturity and training, with adequate preparation
for the courses to be pursued, be registered as Special Students, and


84

Page 84
admitted without formal examination to the privileges of the University,
but not as candidates for any titled degree: such Special Students must
pass the required examinations for classification before entering upon the
work of any School for which such an examination is prerequisite.

Entrance upon Certificates from Accredited Schools.—Applicants for
admission who present diplomas or certificates showing that they have
completed the work of any Public High School of the State of Virginia
whose course is in accordance with the published requirements of the
State Board of Education will not be required to stand the General Entrance
Examination. The same privilege is extended to applicants coming
from approved Public High Schools of other States or from approved
Private Schools of any State; provided, in each case, that the work done
in the school in question is fully the equivalent of, or of higher grade
than that defined above: of schools outside of Virginia, the Dean of the
University is authorized to recognize as accredited those, and those only,
which present satisfactory proof that they are on the accredited list of
their own State University or of some institution of higher instruction
maintaining standards of admission not inferior to the minimum
of the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Southern
States.

The following is a list of the schools within the State of Virginia
at present accredited by the University, duly attested certificates from
which will entitle the holder to admission without examination:

Each person entering upon a certificate may be required to stand
examinations for classification in the courses which he expects to pursue,
or may be exempted therefrom in any instance at the discretion of the
professor concerned, his decision in each case being based upon his personal
knowledge of the work done in the subject in question in the school
from which the applicant enters. Applicants seeking such exemption from
examination for classification are required in each instance to bring a
certificate from the instructor under whom the work was done, stating
fully the extent and character of the work and the standing of the applicant
in his classes.


86

Page 86

Entrance from other Colleges.—Applicants for admission coming to
the University from recognized institutions of collegiate rank, whose requirements
for admission are equal to or greater than those prescribed by
the Southern Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools, will, on
presentation of certificates showing that they are members in good standing
of such institutions, be exempted from the General Entrance Examinations
and also from examinations for classification under the same
conditions as are stated in the preceding paragraph.

Advanced Standing.—Applicants from other colleges will be provisionally
admitted to advanced standing as candidates for the degree of
Bachelor of Arts upon presentation of satisfactory certificates covering
the courses for which credit is desired. Whether a certificate is or is
not satisfactory will in each instance be determined by the professor or
professors in this University responsible for the study or studies in
question, each case being decided upon its own merits. No candidate for
the degree of Bachelor of Arts may, however, thus obtain credit for more
than seven of the ten electives required for the attainment of that degree,
as elsewhere stated; and in all cases the courses for which credit is
obtained and those pursued here must together satisfy all the requirements
for the degree as here established. The certificates presented should, in
the case of each subject for which credit is desired, describe the character
and scope of the course previously pursued by the applicant, stating the
text-books used, the authors read (with amount of reading required) in
the case of a language, or the amount and kind of laboratory work
(with the notebooks of the applicant) in the case of a science; and the
standing of the applicant in his class, with the marks received.

ADMISSION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF GRADUATE STUDIES.

While Special Students, and College Students desirous of pursuing
advanced courses in particular subjects, will be admitted to graduate
courses after having in each instance satisfied all the conditions prerequisite,
only those are admitted to this Department of the University
who hold baccalaureate degrees from recognized institutions of learning
of collegiate rank; or, in the case of any institution of such rank that
does not confer a baccalaureate degree, on the presentation of a certificate
of graduation in a course of study accepted by the Committee upon
Academic Degrees as fully equivalent to that ordinarily required for the
degree in question.

ADMISSION TO THE PROFESSIONAL DEPARTMENTS.

To the Department of Law.—Applicants for admission to the first
year of the Course in Law are required either to present the diploma of
an institution of collegiate rank, a certificate of good standing in the


87

Page 87
classes of such an institution, a diploma of graduation from a good high
school, either public or private, or an equivalent personal certificate from
the principal of such a school; or to pass the General Entrance Examination
described on a previous page. No provision is made for admission
to advanced standing in this Department of the University.

To the Department of Medicine.—Applicants for admission to the
work of the first year of the Course in Medicine are required to present
the diploma of a recognized institution of collegiate rank, a certificate of
good standing in such an institution, the diploma of a recognized public

certificates which represent work equivalent in amount and character to
such a high school course as defined by the Virginia State Board of
Public Instruction (see below); and, in addition, to complete the college
courses at this University in Physics, Inorganic Chemistry, and Biology;
or to present acceptable college certificates showing that they have completed
elsewhere courses in these subjects equivalent to (though not
necessarily identical with) those at this institution, the validity of such
certificates being decided by the professors here in charge of the classes
in these subjects.
