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
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

thereto is subject to the following conditions:

(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
