REQUIREMENTS FOR TITLES AND DEGREES

I. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ASSOCIATE'S TITLE

In the College of Commerce and Administration each student's curriculum is a matter for individual adjustment, and the courses assigned to any student in his first two years of college work will depend upon his previous training, present aptitudes, and future occupation. In every case, however, the minimum requirements stated on p. 109 of this Register will be observed.

FEES FOR MATRICULATION, TUITION, ETC.-ROOMS, BOARD, AND GENERAL EXPENSES

Attention is called to the statements concerning fees for matriculation, tuition, etc.; rooms, board and general expenses, on pp. 84-85 of this Register.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER AID

The University appropriates annually a considerable sum for scholarships, fellowships, and other forms of aid to worthy students. Students in the College of Commerce and Administration are eligible to appointment to these scholarships, etc., on the same basis as are other members of the University.

A large number of students in various ways earn a portion of their expenses while in the University. The needs of a large city afford opportunities of employment to many students, and a smaller number obtain remunerated service with the University. The latter resource is open to those only who have spent at least one quarter in residence at the University. A student employment bureau makes systematic efforts to obtain positions for students desiring work.

Details concerning these various forms of aid are given on pp. 86-88 of this Register and in the circular Assistance to Students.

FACILITIES FOR STUDY AND RESEARCH

The library facilities of particular interest to students in this College may be noticed under three heads:

a) The departmental libraries of the departments of Political Economy, Political Science, History, and Sociology united under one organization contain over 50,000 volumes especially selected for advanced study and research; over 300 periodicals are received by the group library. The Law Library, connected with this building, contains 28,000 volumes, and includes copies of the session laws of the states. The departmental libraries of Comparative Religion, Church History, and other related departments are also available.

b) The General Library of the University contains, in addition to state documents and other sources, an unusually complete set of United States documents, beginning with the First Congress.

c) The Chicago Public Library; the John Crerar Library, which has devoted especial attention to political economy, political science, and sociology; the Newberry Library, which has a large historical collection; the Library of the Chicago Historical Society; the Library of the Chicago Law Institute, and the Municipal Library in the City Hall are available to students in the prosecution of detailed investigation.

While the rudiments of the social sciences may be studied in smaller communities, and while many considerations may be urged in favor of introducing beginners to these subjects in less complex groups, there can be no doubt that the most serious problems of modern society are presented by large cities, and that
