The Main Reading Room of the University Library
Librarianship as a Career
Librarianship is an old and honored profession. Libraries have existed from ancient times, and in the last century they have grown greatly in size and number. In recent years particularly, with the spread of popular democratic education, the deepened acquaintance of man with himself and his world, and the tremendous additions to recorded knowledge, there have come notable increases in the collections and services of li- braries. This appears strikingly in the enlarged advisory and informational facilities of public libraries, the enhanced place of libraries in public schools, the augmenting of materials for study and research in colleges and universities, and the establishment of important libraries in many business and industrial concerns. The expansion in the responsibilities of librarians has brought with it a pressing need of special preparation for their work.
The conduct of libraries today calls for men and women of attrac- tive personality and high intellectual attainment, coupled with rigorous academic and professional training. A library career implies dedication to the service of people and to the enrichment of human life, but its satisfactions are commensurate with the demands. The work carried on by librarians is interesting, of infinite variety, and mentally stimulating. The daily impact upon it of new conditions calls for alertness, adaptabil- ity, and the exercise of imagination and ingenuity.
Opportunities in Library Work
There are two main kinds of library work for which students may pre- pare. They are by no means mutually exclusive and in only the very largest libraries can there be complete separation of the two kinds of activities.
The first of these is reader services. In this classification are grouped those duties which bring the librarian into close relationship with users of the library. They include reference work, reading guidance and advisory service, and activities associated with the circulation of materials to readers. Such positions call for personnel who enjoy working directly with people, who have a natural capacity for teaching, and who have a wide knowledge of books.
The other is technical services. These have to do with the selection and acquisition of the materials added to a library, the organization, ar- rangement, and indexing of those materials so that they can be easily found and used, and all the other details of daily library operation and maintenance.
Both of these broad classifications of duties are carried on in four main types of library institutions:
1. public libraries. Generally, public libraries are those which circulate books for home use free of charge to anyone wishing to use the library services. However, they carry on many activities besides the dispensing of books. Usually, but not always, they are supported by public funds. Public libraries may be organized in a single community, such as a town or city, but frequently they are set up on a larger basis, as is the county or regional library. In such cases the library may be a traveling one, bringing its resources to readers in a bookmobile.
2. school libraries. These are the libraries and instructional materials centers connected with public elementary and secondary schools. They are growing rapidly in number and importance, and in recent years state and regional standards for them have risen steadily.
3. college, university, and research libraries. These include the libraries connected with colleges and universities and containing the study and research materials for the students and facilities of those institutions. They also include such large general research libraries as the New York Public Library and the Library of Congress.
4. special libraries. Under this heading are grouped the libraries asso- ciated with commercial and industrial establishments, hospitals, museums,
professional schools, and many governmental agencies. They are usually relatively small in size, are restricted to one or a few subjects, and serve limited groups of readers.
Preparation for both types of service in all four different categories of libraries may be secured at the University of Illinois Library School.
Background for Professional Study
For a career in library work, a sound, well-balanced intellectual back- ground is needed. By its nature, the work of the librarian is far-ranging and encyclopedic in subject coverage, even in the most highly specialized libraries. History, literature, the social sciences, the natural sciences, and foreign languages are all valuable to the prospective librarian.
In addition to a broad general education, the student should develop a strong major in some subject area during his last two years of under- graduate work or in graduate study. Such subjects as chemistry, physics, musicology, education, engineering, law, agricultural sciences, art, and history are particularly needed in modern library development and when combined with library training lead to a great variety of interesting, well- paid library positions.
The knowledge of foreign languages which the student should ac- quire before entering the Library School varies with the type of library work in which he is interested. In some fields a knowledge of one foreign language is sufficient. For bibliographical work, reference, cataloging, and most types of work in college, university, and other scholarly libraries, a reading knowledge of at least two modern foreign languages, preferably French and German, is desirable.
The Library School
-z
The University of Illinois Library School is one of four such institutions
which originated in the initial decade of education for librarianship in
|j the United States, being an outgrowth of the first established in the
:$ Middle West. Founded in 1893 at Armour Institute in Chicago, the
-_ School moved to Urbana when a new building became available to it and
to the University Library in 1897. It has enjoyed continuous university
.5 affiliation longer than any other library school in the United States. The
S major program now operates in association with the University of Illinois
_e Graduate College. The standards of the School always have been high; it
s~, has been a member of the Association of American Library Schools since
the inception of that body; and it is accredited by the Committee on
ee. Accreditation of the American Library Association. Its living alumni
number about four thousand persons, who are contributing to library
work of various kinds throughout the United States and in foreign
countries.
The purpose of the Library School is to equip young men and women for professional work in the fields of service and kinds of libraries described on page 8. Preparation rests mainly on basic studies which are essential for any library position, although emphasis in particular direc- tions is possible through the individual projects which may be developed in most courses. More specialized work may be pursued in advanced courses. Programs of study are on the graduate level and lead to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. The curricula leading to these degrees, together with the conditions for pursuing them, are described later in this announcement.
11
FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
The Library School is located on the third floor of the main building of the University of Illinois Library. There it has classrooms, offices for faculty and administrative staff, and accommodations for its library and demonstration laboratory as described on page 13.
Library School Library
The special library of the School contains more than 20,000 bound volumes, 28,000 library reports, and uncataloged materials occupying about thirty-five drawers of vertical files. All known periodicals con- cerned with library science are received, as well as numerous journals in the related fields of publishing, printing, book reviewing, communi- cations, education, and visual aids. The holdings of the library have been assembled over many years and afford a liberal basis for research. Supplementing the printed resources are approximately two hundred microfilms of theses and other items, and various audio-visual materials, including lantern slides, 16 millimeter films, recordings, maps, and pictures.
Besides the main collection in the library there are about 4,000 volumes for children and young people, for use in courses on children's literature. Children's interests from the preschool age through adolescence are represented, especially in picture books, nursery tales, folk literature, and biography.
The University Library
The University Library has more than 2,840,000 volumes in the main and departmental libraries on the Urbana-Champaign campus, 128,000 volumes on the campus of the Chicago Professional Colleges, and 79,000 volumes in the Undergraduate Division at Chicago. Other items in the form of manuscripts, prints, maps, music scores, films, recordings, and partially cataloged pamphlets make the complete count about 3,700,000.
The main building of the Library has special rooms for materials in the fields of classics; commerce, sociology, and social work; education, philosophy, and psychology; English language and literature; Germanic and Romance languages; history and political science; maps; newspapers; physical education; rare books; and an Undergraduate Library.
Departmental libraries in other buildings on the campus maintain book collections and services devoted to the following special subjects: agriculture, architecture, astronomy, ceramics, chemistry, engineering,
12
home economics, journalism, labor and industrial relations, landscape architecture, law, mathematics, music, natural history (biological sci- ences), physics, and veterinary medicine. Two browsing rooms, one in the main Library building and the other in the Illini Union Building, provide specially selected collections of books for recreational reading.
Demonstration Laboratory
The audio-visual service of the Library School, and the training related to it, are centered in the Demonstration Laboratory. The primary re- sponsibilities of the Laboratory include aid to faculty and students in selection, preparation, and presentation of audio-visual materials; formal and informal instruction concerning them; supervision of research and projects dealing with film, radio, and television; maintenance of displays in corridors and on bulletin boards; and the occasional production of specialized teaching materials.
Working in cooperation with the Library of the Library School, the Demonstration Laboratory utilizes the general resources of the University Library. It also draws upon the film collection of the Visual Aids Service of the University's Extension Division, the University's radio station WILL, Television-Motion Pictures, and the Photographic Laboratory. It has a suite of specially fitted rooms which accommodate its collection of teaching aids, including examples of modern library equipment; photographs and models of library buildings; projectors for motion pic- tures, film strips, and slides; and recorders using discs and tape. The space allows for simultaneous preparation of exhibits, projection and recording, informal demonstrations, and class meetings.
FEATURES AND ACTIVITIES
Field Work
Experience under actual operating library conditions is provided in a field work program. The field work consists of practice assignments in the various departmental libraries and reading rooms of the University Library, in the libraries of University High School and Urbana High School, and in the Children's Room of the Champaign Public Library.
Colloquium
In a series of assemblies throughout the year, Library School students become acquainted with leaders in the library profession and the book
13
world, and hear and take part in discussions led by them. The range of this opportunity is shown by the list of recent colloquium contributors appearing on page 40.
Laboratory Library Project
A notable feature of the Library School program is the Laboratory Library, operated in cooperation with the Board of Directors of the Urbana Free Library. Using the facilities of that library and collaborat- ing with a member of the faculty, students are conducting a long-range project of research and experimentation especially related to public library problems.
Extramural Study
Through the Extension Division of the University the Library School schedules a few courses in cities throughout Illinois. These are limited essentially to the undergraduate level and are for school librarians, teacher-librarians, and others wishing to meet the requirements for enter- ing the graduate program and becoming candidates for the master's degree.
Extension Program
The Library School has for several years carried out in conjunction with the University's Extension Division a continuing program of training opportunities for librarians-in-service. This training, in the form of institutes, workshops, and short courses, is offered at various times and as occasion demands. These activities usually are held at Allerton House, the attractive educational facility operated by the University near Monti- cello, Illinois, some thirty miles from the Urbana-Champaign campus. Recent institutes have covered school library supervision, personnel ad- ministration, library collections, and reference services.
Windsor Lectures
The Phineas L. Windsor Lectures in Librarianship were established by the alumni of the School from money contributed by more than two thousand graduates. They consist of three lectures, delivered each year, and are named in honor of Phineas L. Windsor, Director Emeritus of the Library School, whose retirement in 1940 terminated service of thirty-one years to the School and to education for librarianship.
14
Publications
Publications issued by the Library School include:
library trends. A quarterly journal which endeavors to summarize and
synthesize in each of its numbers the recent developments and research
relating to a given field of library activity.
occasional papers. A processed pamphlet series on various professional
subjects, appearing irregularly and reproducing manuscripts which are
unsuited to printing in library periodicals because of length, detail,
special nature, or temporary interest.
Illinois contributions to librari anship. A series of books and monographs
treating in detail particular aspects of library science.
Windsor lectures. The presentation in book form of the Phineas L.
Windsor Lectures in Librarianship. Five volumes have been issued to
date.
allerton park institute series. An offset publication containing the papers
presented at the annual institutes on library problems.
Beta Phi Mu
Alpha chapter of Beta Phi Mu, international honorary fraternity in library science, is located at the University of Illinois. Almost 500 graduates of the Library School have won the key of this society for scholastic excellence and professional promise. Students maintaining a grade average of 4.5 or better are eligible for election.
Recreation and Student Welfare
The Illini Union, operated by the University, provides a social, cultural, and recreational center for students in Urbana-Champaign. The Uni- versity also maintains many other organizations whose primary function is the improvement of the welfare of individual students. University departments and student organizations sponsor lectures, concerts, and other cultural events.
Alumni Association
The University of Illinois Library School Association was organized in 1898 to advance the interests of the Library School and to promote social relations among its members. Reunions and meetings are held each year, usually at conferences of the American Library Association and state library associations. The Association has endowed the Kathar-
15
ine L. Sharp Fellowship and the Phineas L. Windsor Lectures in Librarianship, and it has also raised money for other purposes. Twice annually it publishes a newsletter.
Placement Service
The Library School maintains an active placement service for its alumni, keeping in close touch with libraries of different types, and makes every effort to help graduates find the positions best suited to their abilities throughout their careers. The School can not, however, guarantee positions.
FEES AND EXPENSES
Following is a summary of the general University fees payable each semester by all full-time students in the Library School. A complete statement of fees is given in the Graduate College and Undergraduate Study bulletins.
Tuition: Residents of Illinois $ 75
Nonresidents of Illinois 250
Laboratory, library, and supply fee 11
Hospital and medical service fee 7
Illini Union service charge 7
Personal living expenses vary with individuals, but allowance should be made for at least the following amounts for each semester: room rent, $140; board, $275; books and equipment, $30; incidentals, $40. These figures indicate a minimum of $1,170 an academic year for an Illinois resident and $1,520 for a student from outside the state. Costs for summer sessions, which cover one-half as many weeks as a semester, are proportionate. The University Housing Division, 108 Illini Hall, maintains a list of approved rooms and gives assistance in locating housing.
FELLOWSHIPS, ASSISTANTSHIPS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL AID
Katharine L. Sharp Fellowship
Endowed in 1933 by the Library School Association as a memorial to the founder of the Library School, this fellowship is awarded biennially
16
on recommendation of the faculty. It carries a stipend of $600 and exemption from tuition.
Lois Wells Irwin Fellowship
Established in 1955 as a memorial to Lois Wells Irwin, for thirty-two years an active member of the Board of Directors of the Quincy, Illinois, Public Library. Awarded annually upon recommendation of the faculty, the fellowship carries a grant of $500 and exemption from tuition.
Graduate College Fellowships and Scholarships
The Board of Trustees of the University has established a number of fellowships and scholarships which are open to candidates for the Master of Science degree who are not over thirty-five years of age when the appointment is to be made. Fellowships have stipends varying from $1,200 to $1,500 and exemption from payment of tuition and fees except the hospital and medical service fee. Scholarships provide tuition and fee exemption but no stipend.
Assistantships
A limited number of teaching and research assistantships are available to candidates for the master's and doctor's degrees. They carry exemp- tion from tuition and a minimum basic salary of $3,600 for the nine- month academic year. Appointments are generally made for half time. Several part-time work assistantships in the University Library also are open. Students in the Library School who have completed the undergraduate preparatory library science courses described on page 21 are eligible for these appointments. The minimum stipend for half-time library assistants is $2,200, plus exemption from tuition, for an eleven- month working year. These appointments are for one year and may be renewed once.
Loan Funds
Numerous loan funds are administered by the University for students who are in need of financial aid. Emergency loans to students in the Library School also are made by the Library School Association.
Employment
Opportunities for hourly work as desk attendants, pages, and clerks in the University Library are available for students who must earn part of
17
their expenses. Where such occupation exceeds ten hours a week, pro- grams of study are reduced proportionately.
INFORMATION AND ENTRANCE
Inquiries on points not covered by this announcement and applica- tions for any of the programs of the Library School or for financial aid should be addressed to the Associate Director. Formal applications, accompanied by transcripts of college study and by other necessary papers, should be filed as early as possible and at least four weeks before the date of registration. Candidates should not complete plans for at- tending the Library School before receiving word that they have been admitted.

Undergraduate Programs
For undergraduate students at the University of Illinois, a series of courses at the undergraduate level is offered by the Library School through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the College of Education. These courses may be taken as a minor or as electives in either of the colleges. They fulfill the prerequisites for graduate profes- sional study and they give prospective school librarians the elementary preparation necessary to meet certification requirements for school library work.
LIBRARY SCIENCE AS A MINOR
IN THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES
The purpose of this minor is to give the student (a) a broad liberal education, (b) a strong subject specialization, and (c) instruction in the basic practices of librarianship. In view of the wide range of offerings open to students in the general curriculum in liberal arts and sciences, it is not feasible to specify any fixed sequences of courses to be taken. Under the guidance of advisers, each student is expected to plan his own program within the general requirements of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In all cases there should be a strong major in some academic field during the last two years of undergraduate work.

LIBRARY SCIENCE AS A MINOR IN THE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
The Library School offers courses for advanced undergraduates in the College of Education who wish to qualify as librarians in small schools. The Library School also offers full professional training leading to a master's degree in library science for students preparing for positions in large schools, for supervisory positions in the school library field, and looking toward positions as instructional materials specialists.
Students may apply the following undergraduate preparatory courses toward the library science certification requirements for librar- ians in small schools. These courses at the same time comprise the nec- essary prerequisites for admission to the graduate professional program in library science, in case the student should later decide to go on for that training.

Program for the Degree of Master of Science
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Applicants for admission to the Library School must first be admitted to the Graduate College. Ordinarily applications will not be considered from persons over thirty-five years of age, unless they have been actively employed within recent years in library work, in teaching, or some similar intellectual pursuit.
Admission to the program is based upon the following requirements:
1 . Graduation from an institution whose requirements for the bachelor's degree are substantially equivalent to those of the University of Illinois.
2. A grade-point average of at least 3.5, or half-way between B and C, for the last sixty hours completed to secure the bachelor's degree, ex- clusive of required physical education and military service.
3. A reading knowledge of at least one modern foreign language. This requirement may be met either by completing at least one academic year of study at the college level or by passing a proficiency examination administered by the Library School.
4. Preprofessional study appropriate for advanced study in library science as described on page 9. The Associate Director is glad to advise prospec- tive students concerning their undergraduate studies in preparation for library work.
5. Completion of a prescribed program of undergraduate library science courses. This requirement may be met by one of the following:
a. Completion of at least eighteen semester hours of library sci- ence with a grade average of at least 3.75 in an institution ap- proved by the University of Illinois Library School.
b. Completion of the preparatory sequence of four courses, Li- brary Science 201, 204, 255, and 258, in the University of Illinois Library School with a grade average of at least 3.75. Exemption from one or more of these courses may be secured by a satisfactory score on proficiency examinations which are offered on the day preceding the opening of registration each semester and summer session.
Note: There is a special offering of these four courses each eight- week summer session, enabling beginning students to complete the
21
entire preparatory sequence prior to entry into the regular grad- uate library science courses in the jail semester. This makes possible the most efficient and satisfactory program, and students are urged to plan accordingly. 6. Evidence of ability to pursue graduate work in library science.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MASTER'S DEGREE
At least two semesters in residence, or the equivalent, are required to attain the master's degree, apart from the preparatory courses. In this period, eight units of graduate study are to be completed. The normal program for a full-time graduate student is four units each semester; the maximum permissible is five. A candidate for the master's degree must complete all requirements for the degree within five years after his first registration in the Graduate College.
Each student's program of study is planned to suit his particular needs and purposes. This is done in consultation with an adviser at the time of original registration and thereafter. Note: Students who have completed their undergraduate library science requirement in institutions other than the University of Illinois are required to complete Library Science 405, 407, 409, and 411 or 412.
Students are expected to achieve uniformly good records. Any stu- dent who receives two units of grade below B must complete two addi- tional units of A or B grade to qualify for an advanced degree. Three units of a grade below B disqualify a student as a candidate. A failing grade of E in any course in the major field precludes the conferring of a degree in the academic year in which the failure is incurred.
The general field work described on page 29 is required of students lacking equivalent library experience.
Depending on his previous training, a student may do a portion of his study outside the Library School. Students thinking of careers in special libraries may find useful the varied courses available through cooperation with other departments of the University. (See page 34.)
No thesis is required, but to insure that every candidate for a master's degree will have satisfactorily demonstrated his ability to as- semble, organize, and present information and ideas in acceptable written form, each student will be required to prepare a formal term paper in one of his library science courses, this paper to be designated as the master's project.
22
ADVANCED MASTER'S PROGRAM
Students possessing a fifth year bachelor's degree from an accredited library school are enrolled in the advanced master's program. The course of study for an advanced student is, with the assistance of the student's adviser, individually planned. There are no specified or re- quired library science courses and as many as four of the eight required units may be earned in courses offered in other departments of the University. A thesis is optional, and may, under certain circumstances and with specific approval of the Graduate College, be written in absentia.

Program for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
A student desiring to pursue a program of study and research leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy must meet the customary admis- sion requirements of the Graduate College. In addition, he must meet the following requirements of the Library School:
1 . A master's degree in library science from an accredited library school or a bachelor's degree in library science from an accredited library school plus a master's degree in a subject field.
2. A substantial period of acceptable professional library experience.
3. Evidence of capacity for research and productive scholarship.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DOCTOR'S DEGREE
Period of Study
The normal minimum period of study required for securing the degree of Doctor of Philosophy is two years beyond the master's degree, during which the student is required to devote all his working time to studies. All three years must be spent in resident graduate study at some ac- credited educational institution and either the first two or the last two must be spent at the University of Illinois. In exceptional cases, a stu- dent with two years of graduate study elsewhere who satisfies his major department that he has completed work equivalent to the standard de- partmental requirements is permitted to take his preliminary examina- tion, provided he has fulfilled the language requirements. If such a student passes the preliminary examination, he may complete the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree by devoting the third year to research in residence. The degree is conferred, however, not for residence during a certain period but for scholarly attainments and power of investigation as proved by a thesis and examinations.
Work Done in Other Universities
Credit for graduate work done in other universities is not "transferred." However, it may be accepted on examination as equivalent to resident
24
work at the University of Illinois, provided the institution at which it was done is of high standing.
Method of Computing Residence
Credit for a full year of graduate work means that the student has dur- ing that time devoted all his working time and energy to study on a graduate level. Graduate credit is measured in units, with one unit considered the equivalent of four semester hours. The normal program for a full-time graduate student is four units each semester; the maxi- mum permissible is five. The credit which may be earned in individual courses is indicated in the course listing, and is in some instances vari- able. It should be clearly understood, however, that a mere accumula- tion of units of credit will not in itself entitle a second-year student to the privilege of taking the preliminary examinations or a third-year student to admission to the final examinations.
Time Limit for Doctorate
From the time of entrance upon graduate study at the University of Illinois, the work for a doctorate must be completed as follows: (1) a candidate for the doctor's degree must complete all requirements for this degree within seven years after his first registration in the Graduate College, provided no intermediate master's degree is involved; (2) a candidate for the doctor's degree who has been awarded a master's degree either at the University of Illinois or elsewhere must complete all requirements for the doctorate within five years after this first regis- tration in the Graduate College following receipt of his master's degree. The extension of the seven-year period stipulated above to a total of ten years shall be applicable only on condition that not more than one year of credit earned in connection with the master's program be counted toward the doctoral requirements.
Major and Minor Subjects
A student in the Graduate College who desires to become a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy is required to pursue a major subject in the department in which his research lies. He is also required to choose one minor subject, or he may choose two.
If only one minor is chosen, it must be taken in a department of study other than that of the major, and credit for it must be earned by
25
work representing not less than four units, or one-sixth of the total credit required for the doctorate.
If two minors are chosen, at least two units must be taken in each. One may be a subject closely related to the major; with the approval of the adviser and the Dean of the Graduate College, it may be a divi- sion of the major field of study. The second minor must be taken in a department of study other than that of the major.
Language Requirements
A doctoral candidate is required to demonstrate his ability to read two of the following languages: French, German, or Russian. He should take his language examinations as early as possible and must pass both not later than two months prior to the preliminary examination, or dur- ing the semester or summer session preceding that in which he is ad- mitted to the preliminary examination. The dates of the language examinations and the latest dates when application for admission to these examinations may be made are shown in the calendar each year. The examinations must be taken at the University of Illinois. Alter- natively, a student will be certified in either language if he obtains a grade of B or better in French or German 401. Certification of proficiency in foreign languages will not be accepted from other colleges or universities.
Preliminary Examinations
Toward the end of his second year of study, or, by special permission, at the beginning of his third year, a student who wishes to become a candidate for the degree must submit to a preliminary examination conducted by his doctoral committee, which is appointed by the Dean of the Graduate College. This examination is intended to test his knowledge of the fields of his major and minor subjects of study and to determine whether he is prepared for the final year of work for the doctorate. It is partly oral, and may be wholly so.
The student is not admitted to his preliminary examination until he has finished substantially, and to the satisfaction of the faculty, the equivalent of two years' graduate work. He must do a full year's grad- uate work between his preliminary examination and the completion of his work for the doctorate.
A graduate student who has passed the preliminary examination must continue to register every semester until he has completed the thesis and taken the final examination. After he has fulfilled the resi-
26
dence requirement of eight units to be earned between the preliminary and final examination, this registration need not exceed a minimum of one-fourth unit. However, failure to comply disqualifies him as a candi- date for the degree. If the thesis is not completed within five years after the preliminary examination, the candidate must pass a second pre- liminary examination before he can be admitted to the final examination.
Fin a I Ex a m in a tions
At least two weeks before the time the degree is conferred, the candidate must submit to a final examination given by his doctoral committee. This examination is primarily on the research work of the student as embodied in his thesis, but it is not confined to that. It extends to the whole field of study of the candidate. It is not confined to the courses which the candidate has attended in the University of Illinois only, if he has done part of the work elsewhere, nor even to the field covered by the courses specifically taken in this or other universities; but is so conducted as to determine whether the candidate has a satisfactory grasp of his major subject as a whole, and a general acquaintance with the fields of knowledge represented by his course of study.
The final examination may not be divided, but must be taken all at one time even though it requires several sessions.
If, after having passed his preliminary examination, he fails in the third year of his study to meet the expectations of the professors in charge of his work, or in any way fails to maintain the standard of scholarship and power of research expected of him, he may be refused admission to the final examination.
Other Examinations
Before a candidate is admitted to the final examination and the defense of his thesis, he may be required to take any other examination, oral or written, that is thought proper by the various departments in which he has studied. Such examinations are in addition to those regularly scheduled in the courses for which the student is registered.
Thesis
A candidate's power of independent research must be shown by pro- duction of a thesis on some topic connected with his major subject of study. He is expected to defend his thesis or dissertation before the
27
members of the faculty, or as many of them as may wish to question him about it, in connection with his final examination.
The subject of the thesis should be chosen not later than the end of the second year of residence and must be submitted for formal ap- proval by the faculty not later than four weeks before the preliminary examination.
Two typewritten copies of the complete thesis, the original on thesis paper (no other will be accepted by the Graduate College) and the first carbon on plain paper of approximately the same weight, and in final form must be submitted to the Graduate College for approval of the format not later than two weeks before the final examination and not less than four weeks before the degree is conferred. The type- written and printed forms of the thesis must comply with the regula- tions given in "Instructions for the Preparation of Theses," copies of which may be obtained at the office of the Dean of the Graduate College.
Formal publication of the thesis, either in its entirety or in a con- densed form, is not required. However, students should consider the advantages to their fields and to themselves of publication, in the tech- nical literature, of the significant methods and findings of their research. If published, the article or book should have a note indicating that the material is, or is based upon, a dissertation submitted in partial fulfill- ment of the requirements for the Ph.D. (or other) degree at the Uni- versity of Illinois.
microfilming. In order to insure that theses are available for use by others, it is required that they be microfilmed. Each candidate who passes the final examination pays a fee of $25 and deposits an abstract of his thesis of approximately 600 words, together with the original and first carbon of the complete thesis. This fee provides for ( 1 ) micro- filming of the complete dissertation, with one copy deposited in the University of Illinois Library, and (2) publication of an abstract of 600 words or less in Dissertation Abstracts.
abstracts. The abstracts of the theses prepared for Disscrtatioyi Abstracts should not exceed 600 words, i.e., two pages of pica or one and one- half pages of elite type. If, because of the nature of the material, the abstract must exceed 600 words, such abstracts can be accepted at an additional charge of $1.00 per 100 words, which is approximately one- quarter page of elite type or one-third page of pica type. An estimate of additional cost is made by the Graduate College when the abstract is submitted. The estimate is not by word count but by printers measure of pages or fractions thereof, and includes the space occupied by tables or formulas.
