study, and is precluded from proceeding with any other studies without special permission.

A statement of the scholarship of each student will be sent to his parent or guardian as soon as may be after the end of each term.

DEGREES.

The usual bachelors' and masters' degrees are conferred upon those who satisfactorily complete the courses of study described under the different colleges. A candidate for a bachelor's degree must pass in the subjects marked required in his chosen course, and must conform to the directions given in connection with that course in regard to electives. In the College of Engineering he must complete the course of study as laid down. In the Colleges of Agriculture, of Science (41 credits in chemical group), and of Literature 40 term credits are required for graduation. This number includes two credits for military science for men, and for women the same number for physical culture. Men excused for cause from the military requirements, and women who do not take courses in physical culture, may elect in lieu thereof two extra terms' work in any subjects taught in the University. Credits from other colleges or universities may be accepted by the Faculty for advanced standing; but at least one year's residence at the University and the completion of one year's work are necessary to secure a bachelor's degree. In all cases an accepted thesis is required for graduation. The subject must be anounced not later than the first Monday of November, and the completed thesis must be handed to the Dean of the proper College by April 30th. The work should be done under the direction of the professor in whose department the subject naturally belongs, and should be in the line of the course of study for which a degree is expected. The thesis should be based upon original research, and must contain at least 2,000 words, or an equivalent in tables, drawings, and illustrations. It must be presented upon regulation paper and will be deposited in the library of the University. 1. The degree of Bachelor of Arts will be given to those who complete a classical course in the College of Literature.
