DEGREES.

Students who desire to confer with representatives of the Faculties
in regard to their program of work leading to a degree can do so at
the following office hours:

Charles G. Maphis, Dean of the Summer Quarter, 11:30-12:30—
Peabody Hall.

James Morris Page, Dean of the University, 10:30-11:30—Adminis-tration
Building.

Richard Heath Dabney, Dean of the Department of Graduate
Studies, 11:30-12:00—Rotunda 3.

John Levi Manahan, Dean of the Department of Education, 9:30-10:30—Peabody
Hall.

Adelaide Simpson, Dean of Women, 11:30-1:00—Administration
Building.

Theodore Hough, Dean of the Department of Medicine.

Other officers by appointment.

Six degrees are offered candidates for graduation in the regular session
of the College. Two of these, the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor
of Science, are cultural; the Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject,
the name of which is inscribed on the diploma, the Bachelor of
Science in Architecture, the Bachelor of Science in Commerce, and the
Bachelor of Science in Medicine, are vocational degrees, designed for
those who wish to fit themselves especially for professional work. Appropriate
courses taken in the summer quarter count toward these
degrees.

No course offered by a successful candidate for one of the cultural
baccalaureate degrees can be offered by the same candidate as part of
the work credited toward the other cultural baccalaureate degree, nor
can any work done to remove an entrance condition be counted for any
degree.

The Summer Quarter is an integral part of the University year.
Courses in the College of Arts and Sciences as well as the Department
of Education, are the same in character and in credit value as in any
other quarter of the University. Degrees are conferred upon men

and women upon exactly the same terms for work done in the Summer
Quarter when the degree requirements are fully met. Sixty-three
session-hours of undergraudate courses, taken in conformity with the
requirements published herewith, are required for the Bachelor's degree.
Those who contemplate completing their degree reqiurements in
the Summer Quarter should keep clearly in mind, in estimating the time
that will be required, that the normal amount of credit which may be
taken in one Summer Quarter is six session-hours.

Candidates for a degree who desire credit for work done at other
colleges must satisfy the entrance requirements for regular students
and must, in addition, file with the Dean of the Summer Quarter a certificate
covering the courses for which college credit is desired. This
certificate must be acceptable both to the Dean of the Summer Quarter
and to the Dean of the Department in which the degree will be
obtained. The certificate must bear the official signature of the head
of the candidate's college and must specify the character and content
of the courses passed by the candidate and must give his grade. In
every case the candidate must spend at least three full Summer Quarters
at the University in order to meet the residence requirements.

The Master's degree may be obtained in three Summer Quarters.
In no case is this degree to be conferred upon any person who has not
attended and done graduate work three full Summer Quarters or the
equivalent time in the regular session of the University and the Summer
Quarter.

All persons who are looking forward ultimately to taking a degree
through summer work are urgently requested to file with the Dean of
the Summer Quarter an official statement of their entrance requirements
and work for which college credit is desired. Blanks for this
purpose will be mailed upon application.
