GRADUATE COURSES.
School of Mathematics.—The graduate course includes: The
course of Mixed Mathematics, (p. 30); 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.—The graduate studies are those
of the Course in Practical Physics, (p. 31).
School of General and Industrial Chemistry.—The principal
part of the graduate course will consist of practical laboratory work on
subjects of original investigation. 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 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 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. 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.
