student must take the prescribed subjects; in addition, he must select at least two subjects from the list of major electives, and he must then choose work sufficient to yield him the remainder of his necessary credits. No credits will be granted in any subject in either list except according to the enumeration given.

UNDER THE SPECIALIZED COURSE, OR QROUP, SYSTEM

Forty full term-aredits, including Military, together with an acceptable thesis, are required for graduation under the group system. Every student must take the prescribed subjects. In addition he must, not later than the beginning of his junior year, specify the group in which he wishes to graduate. He must at this time select one subject in the group as his major subject, the study of which, alone or with the subjects designated as specifically preparatory* to it, he must pursue during the remaining two years, securing therein at least nine full term-credits. He must also select, with the approval of the head of the department in which his major subjectlies, a sufficient number of other studies to yield him the necessary complement of credits, and he must present an acceptable thesis. The thesis required for graduation must be on a topic connected with the student's major study. It must present the results of investigation made under the immediate supervision of the instructor during the last year of the student's course. This work of investigation shall be the required work in the major subject, in whole or in part, during that year, and shall receive credit like any other study. Separate credit will not be given for the thesis. No credit will be allowed in any subject except according to the enumeration given, and the same work shall not be credited both as major and minor work. The only degree given in this college is that of A. B. The prescribed studies must be taken in the term and year indicated in the outline of courses by years and terms,
