New Requirement for Ph. D. Men.
At a meeting of the Academic Faculty,
December 7, 1907, the following regulation
was passed in reference to candidates
for the degree of Doctor of Phils-
ophy:
"The candidate's `reading knowledge
of French and German' must be tested
at the beginning of the first year of his
candidacy, by examination on these
languages in the presence of a committee
consisting of the professor of the
candidate's major subject and the professors
of French and German. In case
of failure on either or both of the examinations,
he shall be required to enter
the appropriate class or classes in one or
both of the languages, and shall not be
regarded as a regular candidate for the
Ph. D. degree until he has fulfilled the
requirements in French and German.
"It is provided, however, that any
student who has already passed on the
regular B. A. course in either or both of
these languages at this University shall
be considered as having the requisite
knowledge of either or both of them, as
the case may be."
