A classification is begun of varieties of algebras with the property that each algebra in the variety has a modular lattice of subalgebras. This turns out to be a very restrictive condition. Such a variety is hamiltonian. If the algebras in it are idempotent, then it is a variety of sets. A variety is subalgebra-modular if and only if it is hamiltonian and satisfies certain conditions on the terms in its three generator free algebras.
