recommendation for the degree. The work must be completed within the period of two years for which the registration is granted; otherwise a second registration fee must be paid at the expiration of two years. The fee for non-resident students is ten dollars. Doctor of Philosophy. A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy is required to pursue, in residence at the University, a prescribed course of advanced study and research in one major subject and two allied minor subjects. In general a term of three years is required, but the degree may be secured in two years in the case of exceptional preliminary training in the major subject. These requirements of residence and study are, however, entirely secondary. The degree is conferred not simply for faithful study in a determinate field of work for a prescribed period, but because of a high attainment in a special branch of learning, which the candidate must have manifested not only by examination, but by a thesis which gives evidence of independent research, and contributes to knowledge. The candidate should choose his major subject in a department in which he has already pursued, for a considerable period, a systematic course of study. To receive this degree, a knowledge of French and German will be found indispensable in most instances. The thesis must be accepted before the candidate may be admitted to examination. The examinations are both written and oral. They demand a minute knowledge of a special field of work as well as a general acquaintance with the department of learning in which the candidate offers himself for the degree.

Such students are advised to begin with course 6 described below. The plan of instruction is to present the forms of inflection characteristic of the period in question and then to proceed with the analysis and inter pretation of texts. After the mastery of the forms, the phonetic laws of the period are developed and later the relation of the dialect in question to other members of the Germanic group. Professor TOY. 4.
