The Master's Degree.—A varying number of Romance group courses,
ranging from six to ten hours a week throughout the year, a final oral
examination, and a thesis are prescribed for the master's degree. A candidate
of average ability and good training may absolve the requisite number of
courses within one year after the baccalaureate degree. The final oral
examination, however, embraces questions asked and answered in two
Romanic languages; and the candidate whose collegiate work represents one
Romanic language only will find it difficult to acquire in one year the supplementary
language and absolve other requirements. Further, the thesis
must incorporate the results (elementary, at least) of original investigation
on the part of the candidate; and unless he already have at the outset, or find
very quickly, a promising subject of investigation, nine months will prove
insufficient for the work.

The Doctorate.—A varying number of Romance group courses, ranging
from fifteen to twenty, distributed over a period of three years after the
baccalaureate degree, are prescribed for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
in Romanic Languages. The final oral examination embraces questions asked
and answered in French, Spanish, and Italian. The scope and character of
original investigation presented by the candidate's dissertation must satisfy
the Romanic Faculty as a whole. To facilitate the acquisition of a speaking
knowledge of the third, or supplementary, Romanic language, candidates are
granted the privilege of optional attendance on any French, Spanish, or
Italian course in the College.
