REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION 61 In the general courses a minimum of prescribed work is laid out for the first two years. The whole of the work of the first year, and part of that of the second, is prescribed. The work for the rest of the course is elective. Within the limits of the prescribed work, however, the student is permitted a choice of lines of work. In choosing his electives, each student must select at least two subjects from the major electives. In the choice of his electives other than his major work the student may take a minimum of work in each of a maximum number of subjects, or he may take a maximum amount of work in the minimum number of subjects necessary to fill up his time according to the rules of the University. The elective courses open to the students of the College include subjects from the Colleges of Science and Engineering. The sciences are not an integral part of the work of the College, but the training derived from their study is so important a part of a liberal education that every student of the College is earnestly advised to extend his study of them so far as may be. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION UNDER THE GENERAL COURSE SYSTEM Credit for 130 hours,* including the prescribed military and physical training, are required for graduation under the general course system. Every student must take the prescribed subjects ; in addition, he must select at least two subjects from the list of major electives, and he must then choose work sufficient to yield him the remainder of his necessary credits. No credits will be granted in any subject except according to the enumeration given. For example, if work is offered in a subject for from five to ten hours, no credit will be allowed for less than five hours' work. * For explanation of " hours" see p. 167.
