The major and minor courses in lists A and B in this group are respectively the maximum offerings and the minimum requirements in the various subjects of these lists. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION In the natural science group a student may graduate from either a specialized or a general course. A specialized course is one containing at least two years of major work in a single subject preceding the senior year, followed by an additional year of major work in that subject, and the writing of an acceptable thesis. No student may be enrolled in a specialized course without the permission of the head of the department in which he wishes to do his principal work. Only those students who pursue a specialized course will, as a rule, be selected for fellowships, scholarships, and other similar University honors. A general course is one in which less than three years' work in any one line precedes graduation, and in which no thesis is required. Students who specialize in geology or mineralogy may count all work done in these branches and their credits in chemistry in the list of credits required before the beginning of the senior year. No student may graduate in natural science until he has completed all the required courses, has done at least thirty hours' work on one major elective, or forty hours' work on more than one such major (list A), and has taken at least
