GRADUATE COURSES.
School of Mathematics.—The graduate course includes
1. The course of Mixed Mathematics. (See p. 26.)
2. Advanced Studies in the Modern Higher Geometry, the Infinitesimal
Calculus, and in the Higher Algebra.
For those candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy who select
the Mathematics as their chief study, the graduate course will extend
through two sessions.
School of Natural Philosophy.—For graduate studies the reader is
referred to the Course in Practical Physics, page 27.
School of General and Industrial Chemistry.—The principal
part of the graduate course will consist of practical laboratory work on
subjects of original investigation, with special attention to the logical connection
between facts observed and conclusions to be drawn from them;
advanced reading may also be prescribed, especially in the shape of the
bibliography of particular topics, to be looked up from various sources
and condensed by the student.
School of Analytical and Agricultural Chemistry.—The course
for graduates in this school will be arranged to suit the aims of each student.
It consists of laboratory work in an advanced course of analysis,
comprising practice in the more elaborate processes of analysis, study of
methods of analysis, and original investigations in the composition of rare
or unusual minerals, and technical products presenting scientific or economic
interest.
School of Natural History and Geology.—In this School no fixed
course of study will be laid down for graduates. Subjects will be selected
from one or more of the branches included in the School, and assigned
to the students. As far as possible, original research will be required in
the treatment of the subjects chosen.
School of Practical Astronomy.—A prescribed course in this
School, to be agreed upon in a conference of the Professors interested,
will be considered as the equivalent of the graduate course in either
Mathematics or Natural Philosophy for graduates of these schools.
N. B—Graduation in a School is prerequisite to admission to the advanced
Graduate Course of that School; and for admission to a graduate
course in the School of General and Industrial Chemistry, or in the School
of Analytical and Agricultural Chemistry, previous graduation in both
the schools named will be required. But this part of the requirement
may be waived, provided satisfactory evidence be furnished that the student
has already made equivalent attainments elsewhere.
