59 or 79, and two additional graduate courses; (b) a satisfactory dissertation upon a subject approved by the head of the Department; this must be presented at least eight weeks before the Convocation at which the candidate expects to receive the degree; (c) a satisfactory oral examination before the Faculty of the Department. The Doctor's degree.-For the general conditions, see p. 128. With Romance as secondary subject, nine majors are required, to be selected from the regular graduate courses, after conference with the head of the Department. At least one major shall be in Spanish or Italian. With Romance as principal subject the minimum requirements are: (a) eight majors in French language, four majors in modern French literature, one major in Spanish, one major in Italian, and four additional majors in either Spanish or Italian; (b) a satisfactory dissertation upon a subject which shall have been approved by the head of the Department at least twelve months before the proposed date of the final examinations; the dissertation must be presented in a form practically complete at least four months before the Convocation at which the candidate expects to receive the degree; (c) a satisfactory written, and the public oral, examinations, the latter before a committee consisting of the Faculty of the Department and one or more members from another department. Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy who desire to specialize in modern French literature may reverse the proportions of lin. guistic and literary courses in French indicated above, that is, such candidates are required to complete at least four majors in French language (courses 31, 33, 39, 41). Under the title "eight majors in French language' are included a course in Popular Latin and a course in Provençal language and literature (course 49). Candidates who desire to specialize in Italian or Spanish (or in both) will consult with the head of the Department in regard to substitutions in the requirements outlined above. It should be noted that the Doctor's degree will not be conferred merely for faithful and careful work, however great in amount. The candidate must possess special aptitudes for linguistic or literary studies, and show the power to investigate on independent lines. Three years, one of which may profitably be spent abroad, is the minimum of time usually required by those who possess the requisite capacity and preparation. Two Scholarships, each yielding a sum equal to the University tuition fees for three quarters ($120), are awarded annually in the Spring Quarter. The Graduate Scholarship is awarded for excellence in the department studies of the Senior Colleges during the academic year. The Senior College Scholarship is awarded for similar excellence in the studies of the Junior Colleges. The Fellowships, each yielding usually the sum of $320, are assigned upon the basis of special aptitude shown in the field of Romance Languages. Applicants should forward to the President of the University definite statements in regard to past courses of study, including degrees, honors received, etc., together with specimens of written or printed work done in the Romance field. Applications must be received by the President not later than March 1 of each year, and are assigned during the first week of April. No Fellow is permitted to give private instruction of any kind. He is expected to render assistance of some sort in connection with the work of the University, to the extent of not more than one-sixth of his time, and, in general, by example and personal influence, to make the interests of the Department his own. The Romance Library, recently enlarged by important additions, adjoins the Libraries of the Departments of English and German. It is supplied with all the principal journals in the French, Spanish, and Italian fields of study, and with the treatises and works of reference necessary to illustrate the courses given and to carry on research work. The Cercle de conversation française meets once a week during the academic year. The Romance Club meets on the second Wednesday in each month during the academic year. All graduate students and instructors of the Department are members; journal notices, book reviews, and original papers are read and informally discussed. It is intended that the graduate courses offered by this Department in the Summer Quarter shall, as far as practicable, be so arranged that qualified students may proceed regularly to the higher degrees by attendance in successive Summer Quarters.
