STUDIES AND EXAMINATIONS H7 Graduate School; and all members of the School who have completed the residence period required for advanced degrees may register as non-residents while completing the work required for such degrees. Members of the Graduate School register with the Dean during the registration period of each semester. This in the case of non-residents may be done by letter stating the work to be undertaken during the ensuing half-year. STUDIES AND EXAMINATIONS As far as can be indicated by a statement of time, full work for a graduate student consists in the use of forty-five hours a week in the lecture rooms, laboratories, etc., and in private study. Assignments of work are made upon this basis; but great variations naturally result from the subjectmatter in hand, and from the abilities of individuals. Each student must select one principal line of study, called his major subject, and upon this major subject at least one-half of his work must be done; and any greater proportion of his time, up to the whole of it, may be thus devoted if proper approval is had. 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 the same time. The major study must be approved as graduate work for this University. The minor subjects may, under aproval, 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 toward some well-defined 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 •Sec the courses (or graduates in architecture and other engineering courses, in the "General Description of Courses," pp. 176,192, 201, 226, 231.
