That subject is treated as one of a strictly scientific character, and the training in it, while not losing sight of the practical aspects, is therefore severely scientific. In connection with the work in household science, and as a necessary preparation to it, the student must take several courses in pure science.

Although the main work is, therefore, scientific and technical, the importance of an artistic and literary training for home life is not lost sight of, and ample opportunity is given for a study of subjects of that character. Indeed, so important are they deemed that a considerable amount of art and design, English, history, and foreign language is required of students in the course. Opportunity is given, moreover, for increasing the amount of liberal, scientific or technical subjects by leaving the way open for a certain number of electives. Of the one hundred and thirty hours required for graduation, ninety-four are provided for in the prescribed list and the restricted electives of List A. The other hours of credit necessary for graduation may be taken, subject to the approval of the Dean of the College, from any courses offered in the University. It is desirable, however, that students should not scatter their work too much, and they are advised, therefore, to choose, to a certain extent at least, electives which are in close correlation with the subjects in the list of prescribed, or of restricted elective, work. Holders of scholarships in household science are expected to take the course as laid out here. Variations from it can be made only by special permission of the Council of Administration on recommendation of the faculty of the college.

GRADUATE SCHOOL

ORGANIZATION

The Council of Administration of the University is in charge of the Graduate School, and the executive officer, to whom communications should be addressed, is the Dean of the Graduate School.

ADMISSION AND REGISTRATION

Graduates of the University of Illinois, and of other colleges and universities of approved standing, may be admitted to membership in the Graduate School upon presentation of their credentials. Other persons suitably qualified may gain admission by special vote of the Council of Administration upon such conditions as may be imposed in each case. Candidates for admission may secure application blanks from the Dean or from the Registrar of the University, and these, properly filled out, should be filed, together with such documentary matter as may be presented, showing qualifications for membership in the school, with the former officer. This should be done not later than the time set for registration in September. Admission may be granted at other times, but the time limit required for degrees counts from the date of the certificate of membership.

With the exceptions named below, all members of the Graduate School are required to be in regular attendance at the University, and to do all the work for which they are registered in the departments to which such work belongs. In case of absence on leave, or when absence is necessary to carry on investigations included in approved

courses of study, the requirement of continuous residence may be modified by the Council of Administration.

Graduates of this University may be admitted to nonresident membership in the Graduate School, as candidates for second, or masters', degrees; and all members of the School who have completed the residence period required for advanced degrees may register as non-residents while completing the work required for such degrees.

Members of the Graduate School register with the Dean during the registration period. This, in the case of nonresidents may be done by letter, stating the work to be undertaken during the year.

STUDIES AND EXAMINATIONS

As far as can be indicated by a statement of time, full work for a graduate student consists in the use of forty-five hours a week in the lecture rooms, laboratories, etc., and in private study. Assignments of work are made upon this basis; but great variations naturally result from the subjectmatter in hand, and from the abilities of individuals. Each student must select one principal line of study, called his major subject, and upon this major subject at least one-half of his work must be done; and any greater proportion of his time, up to the whole of it, may be thus devoted if proper approval is had. When work upon the selected major subject is not arranged to require all of the student's attention, he must choose one or two minor subjects, as may be necessary to complete a full course of study. Usually, at least one minor subject should be taken. Not more than two may be taken at the same time.

The major study must be approved as graduate work for this University. The minor subjects may, under approval, be chosen from the offerings to graduates; or, except in the College of Engineering, from undergraduate courses of advanced grade. But all candidates for advanced degrees must direct their selection toward some well-defined
