Each student may choose and pursue such studies as he may desire, subject only to such conditions as to preparation, times of study, and number of studies, as may be necessary to secure efficiency in classes and economy in teaching. 2. But students who wish to be candidates for any degree must complete fully the course of studies prescribed for such degree. 3. Students not candidates for any degree will be enrolled as special students, and will receive at the close of their attendance, if not less than a year, the certificates provided by law, with statements of work done and credits attained. 4. It is designed that the requirements for all the Bachelor's Degrees shall be, as nearly as possible, equal in amount and value. 5. The Degree of Bachelor of Science, B.
