HIGHER DEGREES.

A candidate for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY must be a graduate of the College of Letters or of one of the Colleges of Science of this University, or of some other University or College of acknowledged good standing.

He must pursue a course of study, selected by himself from the following groups of courses and approved by the Faculty of Letters, embracing one principal and two subsidiary subjects, and extending over a period of at least three years, one of which must be spent in continuous residence at the University; but candidates for the degree of Ph.D., who are unable to comply with the requirement for a continuous residence, may be admitted to examination at the end of four years' study, provided that they spend at the University periods of time equivalent in amount to three academic terms.

He must present to the Faculty of Letters for approval, at least three months previous to the final examination for the degree, a thesis bearing on the principal subject of his course, and of such a character as to show his power to do original work. He must have a knowledge of Latin equal to that required for admission to the Classical Course in this University.

The courses of study for the degree of Ph.D. are grouped as follows:

I. Intellectual and Moral Philosophy; e. g. (1) Metaphysics; (2) Ethics; (3) Esthetics; (4) Psychology; (5) Logic; (6) Philosophy of the Sciences; (7) Philosophy of Religion; (8) Philosophy of History and of Government; (9) History of Philosophy, general or special.

III. Philological Science; e. g. (1) The critical study of selected Greek and Latin Classics; (2) Greek Dialects; (3) Early Latin; (4) Greek and Roman Literature; (5) English Literature; (6) Old and Middle English; (7) Old Norse; (8) Gothic; (9) Old Saxon; (10) German Literature.

IV. The Natural Sciences; e.g. (1) Mathematics; (2) Physics; (3) Astronomy; (4) Chemistry; (5) Botany; (6) Zoology; (7) Geology; (8) Mineralogy.

Candidates for a MASTER'S DEGREE must previously have obtained the corresponding Bachelor's Degree, either at this University or at some other institution conferring it on a basis officially ascertained by the proper Faculty to be equivalent.

The candidate for a Master's Degree must make application, through the

Recorder, to the Faculty controlling the particular degree sought. The application must contain a full statement of the line of work upon which the applicant proposes to base his candidacy. On approval of the application by the Committee on Higher Degrees, the candidate will be placed under the direction of a committee of three, from at least two departments, who shall have supervision of the candidate's work, conduct the examinations on his course of study, and pass upon the original dissertation to be presented by him. The course of study must cover a period of not less than one year, passed in residence; except as provided in the next paragraph.

In case the candidate for the Master's Degree has already received a Bachelor's Degree from this University, the preceding requirement of residence may, by vote of the Faculty concerned, be remitted; provided, however, that the approved course of study cover then two years instead of one. But the requirements for the degree are in no otherwise remitted, and this privilege is restricted to graduates of this University.

The principal subject presented by a candidate for the degree of Master of Arts or Master of Letters must be selected from group I., II., or III.; for the degree of Master of Science, from group IV.

The conditions under which the degrees of MECHANICAL ENGINEER, MINING ENGINEER, METALLURGICAL ENGINEER, and CIVIL ENGINEER are conferred, are given under the headings: College of Mechanics, College of Mining, and College of Civil Engineering.
