THE COLLEGE.

   

EDWIN ANDERSON ALDERMAN, D. C. L., LL. D.,	President.
JAMES MORRIS PAGE, M. A., Ph. D.,	Dean.

Required for Entrance upon the Work of the Department.—The
General Entrance Examination, or admission to the University by certificate
or diploma, as stated in a preceding portion of this catalogue (p. 78).
The General Entrance Examination must be supplemented, in the case of
certain of the College courses by examinations for classification: the
nature of these is in each case stated in its proper connection.

These are the minimum requirements for admission to the College;
and any candidate for admission who has received a preparation more
ample than is thus represented will be admitted to advanced standing on
satisfactory evidence of his attainments: candidates entering from other
colleges will be admitted to advanced standing in accordance with the
conditions stated on page 86.

Every student is required to undertake the work of three courses,
each consisting of three or more lectures or exercises a week throughout
the year; and only three, unless otherwise authorized by the Faculty.
Hence the time necessary for the attainment of the Degree of Bachelor
of Arts by a student with the minimum preparation above indicated is
four years.

All undergraduate academic students, with the exception of Special
Students, as defined in the preceding part of this catalogue, are regarded
as members of the College. Full opportunity has in the past been, and
will in the future be, given to any student to carry out any definite plan
of work which he may have in view on coming to the University, or which
may have been prescribed for him by those under whose direction he is
completing his education. Every student is, however, expected to come
to the University for a definite purpose: and when no well considered
plan, as above indicated, has been outlined in advance, and the end in
view is that for which the great majority of students enter college, namely,
the attainment of a liberal education, the student in question will be
expected to enter upon the regular work of the College, which leads to
the bachelor's degree.

BACHELOR OF ARTS.

The requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts of the University
of Virginia are such as to permit of the large measure of
freedom of election on the part of the individual student which has

characterized the work of the University from the beginning: such restriction
only being placed upon this liberty as is necessary to insure at
the same time the thoroughness and the breadth of culture for which this
degree stands. In order to secure to the recipient of this degree in due
measure an acquaintance with the methods of study and of thought
characteristic of each of the leading departments of knowledge, as well as
with their subject matter, as far as possible, his choice of work leading
thereto is subject to the following conditions:

The candidate for this degree is required to choose ten B. A. electives
(save in the cases presently to be mentioned): these electives consist in
some cases of a single course, in others of two or more courses. One
elective must be chosen by every candidate from each of the seven groups
defined below: the other three are to be taken at large from the courses
indicated as open to such election in the brief summary which immediately
follows the statement of the groups, or from the graduate courses open to
candidates for the Master's degree. The electives at large consist in each
case of single courses.

Students who complete the work of both of the B. A. electives in
group I (namely, Latin and Greek) are required to choose but seven
other electives (or two electives at large). Students who have completed
seven or more B. A. electives, satisfying the requirements of the group
system, may offer in lieu of the three electives at large the work of the
first year in the Department of Law or of Medicine, or three technical
courses in the Department of Engineering. Candidates who enter with
advanced standing from other colleges must spend one full year in academic
work and must complete at least three B. A. electives here in order to be
admitted to the privilege last stated.

Any student in good standing who satisfies the requirements above
stated, under the prescribed conditions, is entitled to the degree of
Bachelor of Arts of the University of Virginia.

The groups referred to in the preceding paragraphs, from each of
which one B. A. elective must be chosen by every candidate for the degree,
are as follows: (The courses included in each elective are indicated.)

COURSES IN THE ACADEMIC SCHOOLS WHICH ARE OPEN TO
COLLEGE STUDENTS AS ELECTIVES FOR THE
FIRST DEGREE IN ARTS.

A brief summary is here presented of the courses open to election by
candidates for the baccalaureate degree under the preceding group system
and as electives at large: in addition candidates may offer as electives
at large any of the graduate courses open to candidates for the degree of
Master of Arts, a summary of which, with a schedule of lecture and
examination hours is given on page 124: provided that in each case the
undergraduate course or courses prerequisite for the subject in question
have been completed. A description of each of these courses will be
found in the statements of the Academic Schools upon subsequent pages
(125-159). Where a course is stated to be prerequisite to a second course,
the latter may be taken parallel with the former if, in the judgment of
the professor concerned, the circumstances justify such a privilege.

EXAMINATIONS.

I. Intermediate Examinations.—In all the undergraduate courses
examinations are held at fixed periods in December and March: the dates
of these intermediate examinations are given in the schedule of lectures
and examinations upon the following page. All lectures in the College
courses are suspended during the periods in which these examinations are
held. The examinations begin in each case at 9 a. m., and are limited to
six hours.

II. Final Examinations.—In addition to the intermediate examinations,
final examinations are held for all college classes during the fortnight
immediately before the final week, lectures closing on the Saturday
preceding. The dates of these examinations are given in the schedule
which follows. They begin in each case at 9 a. m., and are limited to
eight hours.

III. Fall Examinations.—The regulations concerning Fall Examinations
in the College courses, granted for partially successful work, are
as follows:

A student who fails to pass on one of his courses, but attains a
grade of sixty-five per cent. (or more) on that course, may be admitted
to the regular Fall examination on the course at the beginning of the
following session. But the student who has attained the required grade,
and who desires to be admitted to the Fall examination, must apply in
writing to the Dean of the College for that privilege not later than
September 1.

The Fall examinations in the College shall be held (for 1907) between
the 9th and the 14th of September, inclusive. On and after September
4, the Dean of the College will furnish, to any one applying for it,
a copy of the schedule of dates of the Fall examinations.

Postponement of these examinations are permitted only under such
conditions as apply to the regular examinations, p. 92.

For the regulations concerning special examinations granted for
sickness or a like cause, see p. 92.

EXPENSES.

The necessary expenses at the University for a Virginia student in
the College may be estimated at from $160 a year upward, according to
the mode of living; for students from other States this minimum should
be increased by a sum ranging from $90 to $130 for University and
tuition fees. A fuller statement of expenses, including the conditions
under which Virginia or other students are entitled to free tuition, will
be found on pages 94-97.
