DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES. 99 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. Credits from other institutions may not be entered upon such certificates. The form of graduation with a " full certificate " will be discontinued after the commencement of 1891. 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. S., will be given to those who complete either of the courses of studies in the College of Engineering, Agriculture, or Natural Science. The name of the School will be inserted after the degree. 6. The Degree of Bachelor of Letters, B. L., will be given to those who complete the course of the School of English and Modern Languages. 7. The Degree of Bachelor of Arts, B. A., will be given to those who complete the course in the School of Ancient Languages. 8. The Master's Degrees, M. S., M. L., and M. A., and the equivalent degrees of C. E., M. E., etc., will be given to those only who have pursued a year of prescribed post-graduate studies, and passed examinations thereon, or after a term of three years' successful practice. In either case an accepted thesis will be required. GENERAL DIRECTIONS TO STUDENTS. Young men or women desiring a liberal education, and living at a distance from a college or university, are often puzzled to understand precisely what they will be required to know and to do in order to gain admission. To such, these words are addressed: 1. Notice that a college or university (which is properly a collection of colleges) is designed for the higher education only, and not for the study of common branches. None of the common branches, such as arithmetic, geography, English grammar, reading and spelling, are taught in this University. These all must befinishedbefore you come.
