New Grouping of Subjects for
the B. A. Degree, as Adopted
June 10, 1907.
Resolved, that the B. A. Degree be
conferred upon any student who, after
satisfying the entrance requirements,
completes (unless admitted to advanced
standing) the work in (1) English Literature
1 and Mathematics 1; (2) two
subjects, one of which must be Latin,
from the first of the groups given below,
one from the second, two from the third,
one from the fourth, and one from the
fifth; (3) a varying number of electives-at-large,
viz., three, in case only one
ancient language is included; and two,
in case both ancient languages are included.
These electives-at-large may be
either B. A. courses, or M. A. courses in
subjects of which the precedent B. A.
courses have been completed. In every
case, however, at least two of the electives-at-large
must be chosen from a
single group—to be known as the candidate's
major group—while the others
may be chosen from the above-mentioned
groups or from the following miscellaneous
list of courses, viz., Biology 2, Biology
3, Analytical Chemistry 1, Education
2, Journalism, and Biblical History
and Literature.
It is provided, however, that any candidate
may be excused from the electives-at-large,
if in lieu thereof he passes the
First-year Law course, the First-year
Medical course, or any three technical
courses in Engineering.
It is also enacted that every First-year
College student who contemplates the
possibility of taking the B. A. Degree
shall be required (unless admitted to advanced
standing) to take English Literature
1, Mathematics 1, Latin 1, or some
other foreign language, and one course
in the third group (or Greek, in case the
student wishes to take both ancient languages).
Students fulfilling this requirement
shall be registered in the catalogue
under the general head of "The College,"
and under the sub-head "Candidates for
the B. A. Degree"; while all college students
(except special students) declining
to take this prescribed course shall be registered
under the sub-head "Not Candidates
for the B. A. Degree." Students admitted
to the University as "Special
Students" (see catalogue, p. 83) shall be
separately registered as such in the catalogue.

follows:
I. Languages.
Latin 1 and 2.
Greek 2 and 3.
French 2.
German 2.
Spanish 2.
English 1 (a course including Anglo-Saxon
