When work upon the selected major subject is not arranged to require all of the student's attention, he must choose one or two minor subjects, as may be necessary to complete a full course of study. Usually, at least one minor subject should be taken. Not more than two may be taken at any one time. The major study must be approved as graduate work for this University. The minor subjects may, under approval, be chosen from the offerings to graduates, or, except in the College of Engineering, from undergraduate courses exclusive of those usually open to freshmen. But all candidates for advanced degrees must direct their selection towards some welldefined end, determined for the most part by the character and purpose of the major study. In architectural and engineering subjects, at least the major line of study, and not less than two-thirds of the entire work, must be taken from lists marked "primary,"* and any remaining amount to complete a full course may be taken from those designated " secondary," under the same head with the primary list. All courses of study leading to degrees in the graduate school are subject to approval: first, by the head of the department of the University in which the- major subject for each student belongs; second, by the dean of the college including such department; and third, by the dean of the general faculty. The latter officer reports to the Council of Administration for final action. The signatures of the heads of departments in which chosen minor subjects belong must also be obtained before the list reaches the dean of the general faculty. The lists of studies, as finally approved, are deposited with the registrar of the University. No changes may subsequently be made except under the same line of approvals, but extension of time may be arranged with the professors concerned and with the dean of the general faculty. Examinations are required in all subjects, and reports upon these are made to the registrar of the University. Graduate students in undergraduate classes are examined with these classes. The head of each department in which a student does his major work is charged with the direction and supervision of
