9° COLLEGE OF SCIENCE is further given by this means to those minor subjects most important because of their relations to the major work elected. The only degree given in this College is that of bachelor of science. Forty full term-credits for University studies are required for graduation, three of which may be earned by investigation work, the results of which are to be presented in a final thesis. Credit will be given for fractions of courses of instruction in exceptional cases only, by vote of the College Faculty. EQUIPMENT Laboratories.—The College of Science occupies three of the University buildings—the Chemical Laboratory, Natural History Hall, and the Astronomical Observatory—together with several rooms in University Hall assigned to the mathematical department and to some of the departments of the philosophical group. The physics laboratories and lecture room are in Engineering Hall, and the natural history museum is in University Hall. The laboratory and library facilities of this College have been acquired with primary reference to the needs of the undergraduate student, and are scarcely surpassed, for their purpose, in grade and completeness, among American universities. The graduate student likewise finds here an ample equipment, material, and opportunity for independent investigation in several departments of study, notably in those covered by the operations of the State Laboratory of Natural History and of the State Entomologist's office. THE CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL GROUP AIMS The purposes of the chemical and physical group may be distinguished as general and technological. Provision is made for such students as desire to direct their attention to the purely scientific aspects of chemistry or physics.
