UNDER THE CHARGE OF THE

FACULTY OF ARTS
OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

NAMELY

HARVARD COLLEGE

THE LAWRENCE SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL

HARVARD COLLEGE, from its foundation in 1636 until the establishment of professorships in Medicine in 1782, comprised the whole of the institution now called Harvard University. It conferred the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Arts. The term University was applied to it in 1780, in the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and this designation acquired a wide currency and official sanction. Harvard College is now, by the Statutes, the name of a single department of Harvard University. But the whole University is governed by the President and Fellows and the Board of Overseers of Harvard College. Harvard College may attain the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

Students in

The SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL was instituted by the Corporation and Overseers of Harvard College in February, 1847. It took its present name— LAWRENCE SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL-at the following Commencement, in recognition of a gift of fifty thousand dollars from the Hon. Abbott Lawrence, of Boston. It was opened to students in February, 1848. It was at first announced as an advanced school in Science and Literature, for graduates and other sufficiently qualified persons, of not less than eighteen years of age, and was, therefore, in its origin, a forerunner of the Graduate School. Most of its early students were college graduates

or men of mature age, who came to the School for the professional study of a special subject. The instruction originally proposed in Literature was, however, never organized. It is now a school which receives suitably prepared graduates of secondary schools, as well as older students, and offers chiefly training in the various branches of natural and applied science. Its students may attain the degree of Bachelor of Science, Mining Engineer, or Metallurgical Engineer.

The GRADUATE SCHOOL has come into existence as a result of action taken in January, 1872, by the Corporation and Overseers of Harvard College, in the establishment of higher degrees in Arts, Science, and Philosophy, to follow upon the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science, and has had for its object the development of instruction suited to the needs of persons qualifying themselves for such higher degrees, or otherwise engaged in advanced study. Until 1890, it had little formal organization, and was known as the Graduate Department. In 1890, it was more solidly established under the name of the Graduate School. Many students come to the Graduate School for the sake of instruction only, and do not apply for a degree. Students in the School may attain the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, Master of Science, Doctor of Philosophy, or Doctor of Science, on satisfying the conditions of admission to candidacy, and fulfilling the requirements for the degree, in each case.

The FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES was instituted in 1890, and is invested by the Statutes of the University with the immediate charge of Harvard College, the Lawrence Scientific School, and the Graduate School, which were, before that date, under the government of the College Faculty, the Scientific Faculty, and the Academic Council, respectively.

For each of these three departments, there is an Administrative Board, which is appointed from among the members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and is subject to the authority of that Faculty. All powers relating to ordinary matters of administration and discipline, except the power to inflict the penalties of dismission and expulsion, are delegated by the Faculty to the Administrative Boards.

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences exercises directly, for the three departments of the University under its charge, all powers not delegated by it to the Administrative Boards or to Standing Committees; including those of instituting requirements for admission and for the several degrees, of laying out courses of instruction and establishing regulations concerning the choice of studies, of framing rules of discipline, of making recommendations for degrees to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, of administering prizes, and of making nominations for fellowships and scholarships.

The degrees under the charge of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences are the ordinary degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Science, Mining Engineer, Metallurgical Engineer, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of Science.
