GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
In the earlier years of the Institution the Master's degree was frequently conferred, but the work of the graduate students was in charge of the departments concerned, under the supervision of the General Faculty. The Graduate School of the University of Maryland was established in 1918 and organized graduate instruction leading to both the Master's degree and Doctor's degree was undertaken. The faculty of the Graduate School in- cludes all members of the various faculties who give instruction in approved graduate courses. The general administrative functions of the Graduate Faculty are delegated to a Graduate Council, of which the Dean of the Grad- uate School is chairman.
Work in accredited research laboratories of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture and other local national research ageucies may be ac- cepted when previously arranged, as residence work in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for a degree. These laboratories are located within easy reach of the University.
LOCATION
The University of Maryland is located at College Park, in Prince George's County. Maryland, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, eight miles from Washington and thirty-two miles from Baltimore. Washington, with its wealth of resources, is easily aeces.sible by train, street car or bus.
The Professional Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Law are located in Baltimore at the corner of Lombard and Greene Streets.
LIBRARIES
In addition to the resources of the University library, the great libraries of the National Capital are easily available for reference work. Because of the close proximity of these libraries to College Park they are a very valuable asset to research and graduate work at the University of Maryland.
The new library building at College Park contains a number of Seminar rooms and other desirable facilities for graduate work.
THE GRADUATE CLUB
The graduate students maintain an active Graduate Club. Several meet- ings for professional and social purposes are held during the year. Students working in different departments have an opportunity to become acciuainted with one another and thus profit by the broad cultural values derived from contacts with fellow students working in different fields.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
ADMISSION
Graduates of colleges and universities of good standing are admitted to the Graduate School. Before entering upon graduate work all applicants must present evidence that they are qualified by their previous work to pur- sue with profit the graduate courses desired. Application blanks for ad- mission to the Graduate School are obtained from the office of the Dean. After approval of the application, a matriculation card, signed by the Dean, is issued to the student. This card permits the student to register in the Graduate School. After payment of the fee, the matriculation card is stamped and returned to the student. It is the student's certificate of mem- bership in the Graduate School, and may be called for at any succeeding registration.
Admit^sion to the Graduate School does not necessarily imply admission to candidacy for an advanced degree.
REGISTRATION
All students pursuing graduate work in the University, even though they are not candidates for higher degrees, are required to register at the begin- ning of each semester in the office of the Dean of the Graduate School, Room DD 117, Chemistry building. Students taking graduate work in the Summer School are also required to register in the Graduate School at the beginning of each session. The program of work for the semester or the summer session Is entered upon two course cards, which are signed first by the professor in charge of the student's major subject and then by the Dean of the Graduate School. One card is retained in the Dean's office. The student takes the other card, and. iu case of a new student, also the matriculatitni card, to the Registrar's office, where a charge slip for the fee is issued. The charge slip, together with the course card, is presented at the Cashier's office for adjust- ment of fees. After certification by the Cashier that fees have been paid, class cards are issued by the Registrar. Students will not be admitted to graduate courses without class cards. Course cards may be obtained at the Registrar's office or in the Dean's office. The heads of departments usually keep a supply of these cards in their respective offices.
GRADUATE COURSES
Graduate students must elect for credit in partial fulfillment of the require- ments for higher degrees, only those courses designated. For Graduates or For Giaduates and Adranced Undergraduates. Graduate students may elect courses numbered from 1 to 90 in the general catalogue but graduate credit will not be allowed for these courses. Students with inadequate preparation may be obliged to take some of these courses as prerequisites for advanced courses.
8
PROGRAM OF WORK
The professor who is selected to direct a student's thesis worlv is the stu- dent's adviser in the formulation of a graduate program including suitable minor work. This program receives the approval of the Dean by his en- dorsement of the student's course card.
To encourage thoroughness in scholarship through intensive application, graduate students in the regular sessions taking courses carrying full grad- uate credit are limited to a program of thirty credit hours for the year. Students holding half-time gi'aduate assistantships are usually limited to six- teen credit hours for the year. Four or six additional credits may be al- lowed if six or more of the total constitute seminar and research work.
Residence credit for all research work relating directly to the Master's or the Doctor's thesis should be stated as credit hours on the registration card for the semester in which the work is to be done. If a student is doing only re- search work under the direction of an official of the institution he must reg- ister and pay for a minimum of four credit hours per semester. The number of credit hours reported at the end of the semester will depend upon the work accomplished, but it will not exceed the number for which the student is registered.
SmniER GRADUATE WORK
Graduate work in the Summer Session may be coiuited as residence toward an advanced degree. Four Summer Sessions may be accepted as satisfying the residence requirement for the Master's degree. By carrying approxi- mately six semester hours of graduate work for each of four sessions and submitting a satisfactory thesis, students may be granted the degree of Master of Arts or Master of Science. In some instances a fifth summer may be re- quired in order to complete the thesis. Teachers and other graduate students working for a degree on the summer plan must meet the same requirements and proceed in the same way as do students enrolled in the other sessions of the University.
A student who is not working for a degree on the regular Summer School plan may satisfy one-third of an academic year's residence by full-time graduate work for 11 or 12' weeks during the summer, provided satisfactory supervision and facilities for summer work are available in the student's field.
The University publishes a special bulletin giving full information con- cerning the Summer School and the graduate courses offered during the Summer Session. This bulletin is available upon application to the Regis- trar of the University.
GRADUATE WORK IN PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS AT BALTIMORE
Graduate courses and opportunities for research work are offered in some of the professional schools at Baltimore. Students pursuing graduate work in the professional schools must register in the Graduate School and meet
J)
the same requirements and proceed in the same way as do graduate stu- dents in other departments of the University.
Tlie graduate courses in the professional schools are listed on page 50.
GRADUATE WORK BY SENIORS IX THIS UNIVERSITY
Seniors who have completed all of their undergraduate courses in this University by the end of the first semester and who continue their residence in the University for the remainder of the year, are permitted to register in the Graduate School and secure the privileges of its membership, even though the bachelor's degree is not conferred until the close of the year.
Seniors of this University who have nearly completed the requirements for the undergraduate degree may, with the approval of their undergraduate Dean and the Dean of the Graduate School, register in the undergraduate college for graduate courses, which will be transferred for graduate credit toward a degree at this University, but the total of undergraduate and grad- uate courses must not exceed 15 credits for the semester.
ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY FOR ADVANCED DEGREES
Application for admission to candidacy for either the Master's or the Doctor's degree is made on application blanks, which are obtained at the office of the Dean of the Graduate School. These are filled out in duplicate and after the required endorsements are obtained, the applications are acted upon by the Graduate Council. An official transcript of the candidate's undergraduate record and any graduate courses completed at other institu- tions must accompany the application unless these are already on file in the Dean's office.
A student making application for admission to candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy must also obtain from the head of the Modern Lan- guage department, a statement that he possesses a reading knowledge of French and German.
Admission to candidacy in no case assures the student of a degree, but merely signifies that the candidate has met all of the formal requirements and is considered by his instructors sufficiently prepared and able to pursue such graduate study and research as is demanded by the requirements of the degree sought. The candidate must show superior scholarship by the type of graduate work already completed. Preliminary examinations or such other substantial tests as the departments elect are also required for admission to candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
Application for admission to candidacy is made at the time stated in the sections dealing with the requirements for the degree sought.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREES OF MASTER OF ARTS AND MASTER OF SCIENCE
Advancement to Candidacy. Each candidate for the Master's degree is required to make application for admission to candidacy not later than the date when instruction begins for the second semester of the academic year in which the degree is sought, but not until at least the equivalent of one semester of graduate work has been completed.
10
Residence Requirements. The standard residence requirement is one academic year, but this does not mean that the work prescribed for each in- dividual student can always be completed in one academic year. Inadequate preparation for the graduate courses the student wishes to pursue may make a longer period necessary.
Credits and Scholarship Requirements. The minimum credit requirement is 30 semester hours in courses approved for graduate credit. From 10 to 12 credits must lie outside the major subject and form a coherent group of courses intended to supplement and support the major work. A minimum of 18 credits, including the thesis credits, must be devoted to the major subject. At least one-half of the total credits in the major subject must be earned in courses for graduates only. The credits for thesis work are included. The number of major credits allowed for thesis work will range from 6 to 10, depending upon the amount of work done aud upon the major course require- ments. The maximum total credit for the one hour per week seminar courses is limited to four semester hours in the major subject aud to two semester hours in the minor subjects. At least 20 of the 30 semester credits required for the Master's degree must be taken at this institution. In certain cases graduate work done in other graduate schools of sufficiently high standing may be substituted for the remaining required credits, but the final exam- ination will cover all graduate work offered in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree. The Graduate Council, upon recommendation of the head of the major department, passes upon all graduate work accepted from other institutions. No credits are acceptable for au advanced degree that are re- ported with a grade lower than "C".
Thesis. The thesis required for the Master's degree should be typewritten on a good quality of paper 11 x 8i^ inches in size. The original copy must be deposited in the office of the Graduate School not later than two weeks before commencement. One or two additional copies should be provided for use of members of the examining committee prior to the final examination.
Final Examination. The final oral examination is conducted by a commit- tee appointed by the Dean of the Graduate School. The student's adviser acts as the chairman of the committee. The other members of the committee are persons under whom the student has taken most of his major and minor courses. The chairman and the candidate are notified of the personnel of the examining committee at least one week prior to the period set for the exami- nation. The chairman of the committee selects the exact time and place for the examination and notifies the other members of the committee and the can- didate. The examination should be conducted within the dates specified and a report of the examination sent to the Dean as soon as possible after the examination. A special form for this purpose is supplied to the chairman of the committee. Such a report is the basis upon which recommendation is made to the faculty that the candidate he granted the degree sought.
The final examination is oral, but a previous written examination in courses of the semester immediately preceding the examination may be n^
II
quired at the option of the individual members of the committee. The period for the oral examination should be approximately one hour.
The examining committee also approves the thesis, and it is the candidate's obligation to see that each member of the committee has ample opportunity to examine a copy of the thesis prior to the date of the examination.
A student will not be admitted to final examination until all other require- ments for the degree have been met.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHT
Advancement to Candidacy. Candidates for the Doctor's degree must be admitted to candidacy not later than one academic year prior to the grant- ing of the degree. Applications for admission to candidacy for the Doctor's degree must be deposited in the office of the Dean not later than October 1 of the academic year in which the degree is sought.
Residence. Three years of full-time resident graduate study beyond the Bachelor's degree or two years beyond the Master's degree are required. The first two of the three years may be spent in other institutions offering stand- ard graduate work. On a part-time basis the time needed will be correspond- ingly increased. The degree is not given merely as a certificate of residence and work, but is granted only upon sufficient evidence of high attainments in scholarship and ability to carry on independent research in the special field in which the major work is done.
Major and Minor Subjects. The candidate must select a major and one or two closely related minor subjects. Thirty semester hours of minor work are required. The remainder of the required residence is devoted to intensive study and research in the major field. The amount of required course work in the major subject will vary with the department and the individual candi- date.
Thesis. The ability to do independent research must be shown by a dis- sertation on some topic connected with the major subject. The original typewritten copy of the thesis must be deposited in the office of the Dean at least three weeks before the time the degree is granted. One or two extra copies should be provided for use of members of the examining committee prior to the date of the final examination. The theses are printed in such form as the committee and the Dean may approve and fifty copies are de- posited in the library.
Final Examination. The final oral examination is held before a committee appointed by the Dean. One memlier of this committee is a representative of the Graduate Faculty who is not directly concerned with the student's graduate work. One or more members of the committee may be persons from other institutions, who are distinguished scholars in the student's major field.
The duration of the examination should be approximately three hours and should cover the research work of the candidate as embodied in his thesis, and his attainments in the fields of his major and minor subjects. The other detailed procedures are the same as those stated for the Master's examination.

RULES GOVERNING LANGUAGE EXAMINATIONS FOR DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY CANDIDATES
1. Candidates for the doctor's degree are exi^ected to possess a reading knowledge of French and German. In the examination tliey will be expected to read at sight from hooks or articles in their specialized fields. It is not ex- pected that the candidate know every single word of the text. The examiners will supply occasional foreign terms, but it is presumed that the student knows sufficient grammar to recognize inflectional forms.
2. The student is asked to bring books or periodicals to the examination to the amount of about 40(t to oOO pages, from which the examiners will select a number of i)aragraphs for the reading test.
3. No penalty is attached to failure in the examination and the unsuccess- ful candidate is free to try again at the next date set for these tests.
4. Graduate students expecting to take the examination are asked to register their names in the Graduate School Office at least three days prior to the test. Examinations are held in the office of the Modern Language Depart- ment on the first Wednesdays in February, June, and October at 2 P. M.
GRADUATE FEES
The fees paid by graduate students are as follows :
A matriculation fee of $10.00. This is paid once only, upon admission to the Graduate School.
A fixed charge, each semester at the rate of $1.50 per semester credit hour, with a minimum charge of $6.00.
A diploma fee (master's degree), $10.00.
Graduation fee. including hood (doctor's degree), $20.00.
FELLOWSHIPS A>D GRADUATE ASSISTA>'TSHIPS
A number of fellowships and graduate assistantships have been established by the University. A few industrial fellowships are also available in certain departments.
Applicsitions for Felloivships and Gradnate Assistantships. Application blanks may be obtained at the office of the Dean of the Graduate School. All applications with the necessai'y credentials are sent by the applicant direct to the Dean not later than May 15. His endorsement assures the applicant of admission to the Graduate School in case he is awarded either a fellow- ship or a graduate assistantship. After the applications have been approved by the Dean they are sent to the heads of the departments concerned who make the selection and recommend to the proper administrative officer that the successful applicants be appointed. All of the applications, together with the credentials, are then returned to the office of the Dean of the Graduate
13
Si-hool. Those of the successful applicants properly endorsed fire placed on file for record. The credentials will be returned to the unsuccessful ap- plicants.
Stipend. The University fellowships pay $500 and the appointment is for the academic year. In certain cases the term of appointment may be ex- tended to include one or two summer months in addition to the nine months of the academic year.
The stipend for the industrial fellowships varies according to the type of fellowship.
The stipend attached to the graduate assistantships is $1,000 per annum and the appointments are made for twelve months, with one month's va- cation. Graduate students holding appointments as fellows or graduate assistants are exempt from all fees except graduation fees.
Service Keqnireinents. Each University fellow is expected to give a limited portion of his time to instruction or performing equivalent duties pre- scribed by the major department. The usual maximum amount of service required is five hours per week of class-room work or twelve hours of labo- ratory and other prescribed duties. No service is required of the industrial fellow other than research. The teaching graduate assistants devote one- half of their time to instruction. This is equivalent to about one-half of the load of a full-time instructor. Several research assistantships are offered by the Experiment Station and the only service required is in connection with research projects.
Residence Requirements for a Degree. Fellows may satisfy the residence requirements for either the Master's or Doctor's degree without extension of the usual time.
The Graduate Assistants are required to spend two years in residence for the Master's degree, but for the Doctor's degree they are allowed two- thirds residence credit for each academic year at this University, so that the minimum residence requirement from the Bachelor's degree may be satisfied in four academic years and one summer or three academic years and three summers of 11 to 12 weeks.
