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  and  the  Doc- 
tor'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 
Graduate  School  is  chairman. 

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  accessible  by  train,  street  car  and  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  valu- 
able 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  acquainted 
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 
pursue  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. 

Admission  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  beg^in- 
ning  of  each  semester  in  the  office  of  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School,  Room 
T-214,  Agricultural  Building.  Students  taking  graduate  work  in  the  Sum- 
mer School  are  also  required  to  register  in  the  Graduate  School  at  the 
beginning  of  each  session.  In  no  case  will  graduate  credit  be  given  unless 
the  student  matriculates  and  registers  in  the  Graduate  School.  The  pro- 
gram 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, 
in  case  of  a  new  student,  also  the  matriculation  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  adjustment  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  grad- 
uate courses  without  class  cards.  Course  cards  may  be  obtained  at  the 
Registrar's  office  or  at  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  re- 
quirements for  higher  degrees  only  those  courses  designated  For  Graduates 
or  For  Graduates  and  Advanced  Undergraduates.  Graduate  students  may 
elect  courses  numbered  from  1  to  99  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  work  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  graduate  assistantships  are  usually  limited  to 
sixteen  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 
research  work  under  the  direction  of  an  official  of  the  institution  he  must 
register  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. 

SUMMER  GRADUATE  WORK 

Graduate  work  in  the  Summer  Session  may  be  counted  as  residence 
toward  an  advanced  degree.  Four  summer  sessions  and  six  credits  on  thesis 
work  done  in  absentia  under  direction  may  be  accepted  as  satisfying  the 
residence  requirement  for  the  Master's  degree.  By  carrying  approximately 
six  semester  hours  of  graduate  work  for  four  sessions  and  upon  submitting 
a  satisfactory  thesis,  a  student  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  that  a  satisfactory  thesis  may  be  completed. 

Graduate  students  who  combine  the  summer  and  winter  plans  for  the 
Master's  degree  are  required  to  spend  at  least  three  full  summers  and  one 
semester  in  residence. 

Upon  recommendation  by  the  head  of  the  student's  major  department  and 
approval  of  the  Graduate  Council,  a  maximum  of  six  semester  hours  of 
graduate  work  done  at  other  institutions  of  sufficiently  high  standing  may 
be  substituted  for  required  work  here;  such  substitution  does  not  shorten 
the  required  residence  period. 

Graduate  work  may  be  pursued  during  the  entire  summer  in  some  de- 
partments, by  special  arrangement.  Such  students  as  graduate  assistants, 
or  others  v/ho  may  wish  to  supplement  work  done  during  the  regular  year, 
may  satisfy  one-third  of  an  academic  year's  residence  by  full-time  graduate 
work  for  11  or  12  weeks,  provided  satisfactory  supervision  and  facilities 
for  summer  work  are  available  in  their  special  fields. 

The  University  publishes  a  special  bulletin  giving  full  information  con- 
cerning the  Summer  School  and  the  graduate  courses  offered  during  the 
Summer  Session.  The  bulletin  is  available  upon  application  to  the  Reg- 
istrar 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,  meet  the 
same  requirements,  and  proceed  in  the  same  way  as  do  graduate  students 
in  other  departments  of  the  University. 

The  graduate  courses  in  the  professional  schools  are  listed  on  pages  56-61. 

GRADUATE  WORK  BY  SENIORS  IN  THIS  UNIVERSITY 

Seniors  who  have  completed  all  their  undergraduate  courses  in  this  Uni- 
versity 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  higher  degree  at  this  University,  but  the  total  of  undergraduate 
and  graduate  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  be  filed  in  the  Dean's  office  before  the  application  can  be  con- 
sidered. 

A  student  making  application  for  admission  to  candidacy  for  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  must  also  have  obtained  from  the  head  of  the 
Modern  Language  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  the  formal  requirements 
and  is  considered  by  his  instructors  sufficiently  prepared  and  able  to  pursue 
such  graduate  study  and  research  as  are  demanded  by  the  requirements  of 
the  degree  sought.  The  candidate  must  show  superior  scholarship  by  the 
type  of  graduate  work  already  completed.  Preliminary  exanrunations  or 
such  other  substantial  tests  as  the  departments  may  elect  are  also  required 
for  admission  to  candidacy  for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosouhy. 

Application  for  admission  to  candidacy  is  made  at  the  time  stated  in  the 
sections  dealing  with  the  requirements  for  the  degree  sought. 

10 


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. 

Residence  Requirements.  The  standard  residence  requirement  is  one 
academic  year,  but  this  does  not  mean  that  the  work  prescribed  for  each 
indi\'idual  student  can  always  be  completed  in  one  academic  year.  Inade- 
quate 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  18  to 
20  credits  must  be  earned  in  the  major  subject;  and  at  least  one-half  of  the 
total  major  credits,  including  thesis,  must  be  taken  in  courses  for  graduates 
only.  The  number  of  major  credits  allowed  for  thesis  ranges  from  6  to  10, 
depending  upon  the  amount  of  work  done  and  upon  the  major  course  re- 
quirements. 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.  The  maximum  total  credit  for  the  one  hour  per  week  seminar 
courses  is  limited  to  four  semester  hours  in  the  major  subject  and  to  two 
semester  hours  in  the  minor  subjects.  No  credits  are  acceptable  for  an 
advanced  degree  that  are  reported  with  a  grade  lower  than  "C". 

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  any  such  substitution  of  credits  does  not 
shorten  the  normal  required  residence  at  the  University  of  Maryland.  The 
Graduate  Council,  upon  recommendation  of  the  head  of  the  major  depart- 
ment, passes  upon  all  graduate  work  done  at  other  institutions.  The  final 
examination  will  cover  all  graduate  work  offered  in  fulfillment  of  the  re- 
quirements for  the  degree. 

Work  in  accredited  research  laboratories  of  the  United  States  Department 
of  Agriculture  and  other  local  national  research  agencies  may  be  accepted, 
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. 

Thesis.  The  thesis  required  for  the  Master's  degree  should  be  typewritten, 
double  spaced,  on  a  good  quality  of  paper  11  x  8%  inches  in  size.  The 
original  copy  must  be  deposited  in  the  office  of  the  Graduate  School  not 
later  than  two  weeks  before  commencement. 

It  should  be  held  together  with  removable  clamp,  and  placed  in  a  manila 
or  other  durable  folder,  with  the  title,  and  name  of  writer,  on  the  outside. 

11 


The  thesis  should  not  be  stapled  together,  as  it  is  later  bound  by  the  Uni- 
versity and  placed  in  the  University  library.  One  or  two  additional  copies 
should  be  provided  for  use  of  members  of  the  examining  committee  prior 
to  the  final  examination.  If  the  thesis  contains  extensive  charts  or  graphs, 
it  is  not  necessary  to  duplicate  them  in  the  carbon  copies,  as  the  official 
copy  will  be  accessible  to  professors. 

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 
examination.  The  chairman  of  the  committee  selects  the  exact  time  and 
place  for  the  examination  and  notifies  the  other  members  of  the  committee 
and  the  candidate.  The  examination  should  be  conducted  within  the  dates 
specified  and  a  report  of  the  examination  sent  to  the  Dean  as  soon  as  pos- 
sible 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  be  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  re- 
quired at  the  option  of  the  individual  members  of  the  committee.  The 
period  for  the  oral  examination  is  approximately  one  hour. 

The  examining  committee  also  approves  the  thesis,  and  it  is  the  candi- 
date's obligation  to  see  that  each  member  of  the  committee  has  ample  op- 
portunity to  examine  a  copy  of  the  thesis  prior  to  the  date  of  the  exami- 
nation. 

A  student  will  not  be  admitted  to  final  examination  until  all  other  re- 
quirements for  the  degree  have  been  met. 

REQUIREMENTS  FOR  THE  DEGREE  OF  DOCTOR  OF  PHILOSOPHY 

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  Doc- 
tor'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 
standard  graduate  work.  On  a  part-time  basis  the  time  needed  will  be 
correspondingly  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. 

12 


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  candidate. 

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  later 
printed  in  such  form  as  the  committee  and  the  Dean  may  approve  and 
fifty  copies  are  deposited  in  the  University  library. 

Final  Examination.  The  final  oral  examination  is  held  before  a  com- 
mittee appointed  by  the  Dean.  One  member  of  this  committee  is  a  repre- 
sentative 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  is  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  de- 
tailed 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  expected  to  possess  a  reading 
knowledge  of  French  and  German.  In  the  examination  they  will  be  expected 
to  read  at  sight  from  books  or  articles  in  their  specialized  fields.  It  is  not 
expected  that  the  candidate  know  every  single  word  of  the  text.  The  ex- 
aminers 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  400  to  500  pages,  from  which  the  examiners  will 
select  a  number  of  paragraphs  for  the  reading  test. 

3.  No  penalty  is  attached  to  failure  in  the  examination  and  the  unsuc- 
cessful 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 
Department  on  the  first  Wednesdays  in  Fehruai-y,  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  ad- 
mission to  the  Graduate  School. 

A  fixed  charge,  each  semester,  at  the  rate  of  $4.00  per  semester 
credit  hour. 

A  diploma  fee  (Master's  degree),  $10.00. 

Graduation  fee,  including  hood  (Doctor's  degree),  $20.00. 

FELLOWSHIPS    AND    GRADUATE    ASSISTANTSHIPS 

A  number  of  fellowships  and  graduate  assistantships  have  been  estab- 
lished by  the  University.  A  few  industrial  fellowships  are  also  available  in 
certain  departments. 

Applications  for  Fellowships  and  Graduate  Assistantships.  Application 
blanks  may  be  obtained  at  the  office  of  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School. 
The  application  with  the  necessary  credentials  is  sent  by  the  applicant  direct 
to  the  Dean  not  later  than  May  15.  The  Dean's  endorsement  assures  the 
applicant  of  admission  to  the  Graduate  School  in  case  he  is  awarded  either 
a  fellowship  or  a  graduate  assistantship.  After  the  applications  have  been 
approved  by  the  Dean  they  are  sent  to  the  heads  of  the  departments  con- 
cerned, who  make  the  selection  and  recommend  to  the  proper  administrative 
officer  that  the  successful  applicants  be  appointed.  All  the  applications,  to- 
gether with  the  credentials,  are  then  returned  to  the  office  of  the  Graduate 
School.  Those  of  the  successful  applicants,  properly  endorsed,  are  placed 
on  file  for  record.  The  credentials  will  be  returned  to  the  unsuccessful 
applicants. 

Appointments.  Fellowship  appointments  are  for  the  academic  year;  in 
certain  cases  the  term  of  appointment  may  be  extended  to  include  one  or 
two  summer  months  in  addition  to  the  nine  months  of  the  academic  year. 
Appointments  of  graduate  assistants  are  made  for  twelve  months,  with 
one  month's  vacation.  Graduate  students  holding  appointments  as  fellows 
or  graduate  assistants  are  exempt  from  all  fees  except  graduation  fees. 

Service  Requirements.  Each  University  fellow  is  expected  to  give  a 
limited  portion  of  his  time  to  instruction  or  equivalent  duties  prescribed  by 
the  major  department.  The  usual  maximum  amount  of  service  required  is 
five  hours  per  week  of  class-room  work  or  twelve  hours  of  laboratory  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. 

14 


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. 

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.  The  minimum 
residence  requirement  from  the  Bachelor's  degree,  therefore,  may  be  satis- 
fied in  four  academic  years  and  one  summer,  or  three  academic  years  and 
three  summers  of  11  to  12  weeks. 

COMMENCEMENT 

Attendance  is  required  at  the  commencement  at  which  the  degree  is  con- 
ferred, unless  the  candidate  is  excused  by  the  Dean  and  the  President  of 
the  University.
