(3) Major School and Electives-at-Large.

At least two years before the date of expected graduation the
candidate must select one of the Schools of Natural or Mathematical
Science as his Major, or principal, School; and during the
remainder of his candidacy must pursue work in that School. As
subsidiary to the principal subject thus chosen, he shall pursue
such other courses within the limits of the electives-at-large (see
below) as are deemed most important in his case by the professor
or professors in charge of his major school, and approved by the
Academic Faculty.

Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course, or of a C Course
of which the precedent B Course has been completed. After five
B Courses have been chosen in accordance with Section (1), (b),
of these regulations, the six electives-at-large required are to be
selected, (subject to the restrictions detailed in the first paragraph
of this section), from the lists of B and C Courses enumerated
pp. 157-163, and pp. 169-175, respectively.
