the attention of the student is directed to the origins of the language, and he is taught the use of scientific methods of original investigation in language and literature. At the Romance Lauguage Club the instructor in charge calls attention to the latest books, articles, reviews, etc., on subjects connected with the Romance languages. The most important Romance articles contained in the contemporary reviews and magazines are reviewed by the students before the Club.

GRADUATE SCHOOL.

The administration of the affairs of this school is placed in the charge of a committee consisting of the Regent of the University and the Deans of the Colleges. Graduates of this University and of other colleges and universities approved by the committee of administration are admitted to the privileges of advanced study and research, upon presentation of their diplomas or other acceptable credentials. Candidates for advanced degrees must register as such, and in each case for the particular degree desired. The application thus made must receive the approval of the administrative committee.

MASTER'S DEGREE.

A secondary or master's degree will be conferred upon those who satisfactorily pass one full year's work in residence and who present an acceptable thesis. Graduates of this University receive such degree, though non-resident, upon the completion of a prescribed course of study with examination thereon and the presentation of an acceptable thesis. In this case the time required is not less than three years. Each candidate for a master's degree must select one subject as a major, upon which at least one-half the required work is to be done. This subject must be in line with his undergraduate course and the thesis must be based upon the work thus pursued. Two subordinate or minor subjects must also be selected upon which examinations are to be passed. Second degrees must follow inline with the first ones, viz.. A.M. after A.B., M L . after B.L., or the professional degree of M.E., C.E., etc., M.S. after B.S. The professors in whose departments the work is taken constitute the committee on examinations, and these must be passed according to the directions of this committee. The thesis should be presented at least one month before the close of the collegiate year.
