by the Faculty as qualifying the candidate for pursuing the chosen line of study for the degree sought. A candidate for a degree in Engineering shall pass at least one full year of residence and study at this University, sustain satisfactory examinations on the studies pursued and present an acceptable thesis, together with a bibliography. Three full courses is the minimum required as constituting a full year's work. The courses chosen must be passed upon by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and have the approval of the professors under whom they are to be taken. DOCTOR'S DEGREES. The degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence or Doctor of Philosophy is conferred upon a student who has pursued specialized courses in University Subjects; engaged in original research in certain of the various departments of law, letters or science under university auspices, for a period of not less than three years; has submitted an acceptable thesis, and has met all the requirements prescribed. The degree is given for high attainments and proved ability to do research work in some special branch of knowledge, as determined by the various tests applied. Before a student can be admitted to candidacy for the Doctor's degree he must give evidence that he has completed a liberal undergraduate course of academic study such as is required by colleges of good standing antecedent to the baccalaureate degree, and of such a character as to fit him to pursue to advantage researches in the field chosen for graduate work. The Faculty of Graduate Studies reserves the right to decide in all cases whether the antecedent training fulfills the requirements. The applicant may be credited with graduate work done at other universities, provided such work is shown to be of grade similar to that required here, but the last year must be spent in residence at this University and the other requirements of the degree as prescribed must be fulfilled. The candidate for the Doctor's degree shall offer three topics from the University Subjects-one major and two collateral minor studiesthe combination to be approved by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. These must be pursued under the guidance of a committee consisting of the professors in charge of the University Subjects in which the studies are pursued, with the professor in the major subject as chairman. This committee will determine his division of time, study, and research among the major and minor topics, but in general the major topic should be pursued during the whole time devoted to graduate work, and each minor topic during at least one year. The candidate shall pass satisfactory examinations upon the three subjects selected. He must satisfy the Faculty that he can read understandingly in the original, French and German works pertaining to his special field. In order to graduate the candidate must possess a broad acquaintance with his major subject and he must present a dissertation upon some topic approved by the professor in charge of his major subject, which shall be a contribution to knowledge and which shall be accompanied by an adequate bibliography. EXAMINATIONS. Candidates must pass written examinations upon all their topics. The examinations upon the minor topics may be taken at the close of the respective years in which these topics are completed, or later, at the discretion of the examiner. The final written examination on the major topic shall cover the candidate's entire university work, and shall be given when the professor of that subject is satisfied that the student has taken sufficient work to warrant such an examination being taken. Every candidate for a Doctor's degree must pass an oral examination in all these subjects, and must defend his dissertation in the presence of the Faculty of Graduate Studies, or of so many of its members as may desire or may be designated by the Faculty to attend, and such other specialists as it may invite. The oral examination will not be confined to the dissertation nor to courses of study pursued at this University, but the candidate is expected to show a satisfactory knowledge of his major subject as a whole, and a general acquaintance with the broader field of knowledge of which this subject forms a part. If a student has satisfactorily passed his final written examinations, he may be permitted to complete his dissertation away from the University and to postpone the taking of his oral examination until he has thus completed his dissertation. The subjects from which the candidate's selection may be made, as the Faculty may determine in each case, are as follows: Agriculture, Applied Mathematics, Architecture, Astronomy, AstroPhysics, Bacteriology, Botany, Chemistry, Classical Archæology, Economics, Education, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, English, Ethics, Geology and Mineralogy, Germanic Languages and Literature, Greek Lanuage and Literature, Histology and Embryology, History, International Law and Diplomacy, Latin Language and Literature, Law, Mathematics, Meteorology, Pathology, Philosophy, Physics, Physiology and Pharmacology, Political Sciences, Preventive Medicine, Psychology, Romance Language and Literature, Semitic Languages and Literature, Sociology, Zoology. DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF JURISPRUDENCE. Candidates for this degree must hold the degree of Bachelor of Law from this University or from some other institution requiring equivalent work as a prerequisite for this degree, in addition to satisfying the requirements for admission to candidacy for a Doctor's degree set forth above. He must possess a reading knowledge of Latin, French, and German. His major topic, and at least one of his minor topics, must be in subjects taught in the Department of Law and Jurisprudence, but the other minor may be chosen from any University Subject which is properly related to his major topic. The degree is given for high attainments and proved ability to do research work in some special branch of law, as determined by the various tests applied. DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY. Candidates for this degree may, with the approval of the Faculty upon recommendation of the professors in charge, select their topics from properly correlated University Subjects, but only one of the minor topics may be in the subject which includes the major topic. He must by the tests applied prove his ability to do research work and his thorough acquaintance with the literature of the subject of which his dissertation treats. REGULATIONS REGARDING DISSERTATIONS. Dissertations must be presented to the Dean not later than May 1 for graduation in June, or January 3 for graduation at the Winter Convocation. They must be typewritten on official dissertation paper, which may be obtained from the Treasurer of the University. The dissertation will be presented by the Dean to the Faculty, and by it referred to a committee for examination as to its merit. After their acceptance, dissertations, with their accompanying drawings, are the property of the University, and must be deposited in the University archives, but the authors of them are permitted to make copies. The candidate shall arrange, to the satisfaction of the Faculty, to print his dissertation within one year after the degree is granted, under the supervision of the professor in charge of his major subject, and shall present one hundred copies to the University, to be distributed among institutions of learning.

There have been established by the Board of Trustees five Fellowships in Graduate Studies. One of these Fellowships yields $600; two, $500, and two, $400 per annum, but they do not exempt the holder from the charges for tuition. The holders of these Fellowships are expected to teach Undergraduate classes not less than two nor more than eight hours a week in the departments of instruction in which they are pursuing graduate work. These Fellowships are to be bestowed upon candidates who take regular Graduate courses with a view to the Doctor of Philosophy degree and expect to devote their lives to teaching or research in some branch of science, politics or letters. regulations under which appointments are made may be the Secretary of the University.
