such independent study.

ADMISSION

Admission to the Graduate School ordinarily is granted to graduates of in-
stitutions whose requirements for the bachelor’s degree are substantially
equivalent to those of the University of Kansas. Graduates of other institu-
tions may be admitted to the Graduate School with conditions which must
be removed before full graduate standing is attained. Any student may be
refused admission to the Graduate School if his previous college record is of
such inferior quality as to indicate inability to pursue advanced work satis-
factorily.

Admission to the Graduate School does not imply admission to candidacy
for a higher degree. A student can acquire the right to such candidacy only
by demonstrating by residence work at the University that he has the prepara-
tion and ability to do work of graduate character. The requirements herein-
after specified for an advanced degree must therefore be regarded as minimum
requirements. The additional requirements depend upon such factors as the
student’s undergraduate preparation, the character of his graduate work, and
the nature of the course which he elects to pursue.

Application for admission to the Graduate School should be filed with the
dean at least six weeks before the first enrollment. The application should
be accompanied by complete official transcripts of all college work not already
entered upon the registrar’s books at this University. Application blanks may
be obtained from the graduate office. Attention to this requirement will save
difficulties at the time of enrollment.

GENERAL INFORMATION

CHARACTER OF GRADUATE Work... Graduate study aims to develop in the
student the ability to do independent thinking and the spirit to carry on re-
search. The graduate student is,-of course, expected to gain an intimate
knowledge of his major field of study and of the methods employed in this
field. For this reason, candidates for advanced degrees are required to present
theses representing independent and intensive investigations.

The graduate student should not, however, confine his energies solely to
courses in which he may be enrolled; he should do a wide range of private
reading and study in the libraries and laboratories of the University.

Types or GrapuaTe Courses. Courses numbered 300 or above are open to
fully qualified graduate students. Courses numbered between 100 and 300 are
open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Graduate students in
such courses should expect to do work of a higher quality than that required
of the undergraduates for the same amount of credit.

ProcraM or Stupy. No student is permitted to enroll for a program of study
consisting of more than 16 hours per semester, or more than eight hours during
the summer session.

Grapes. Only courses graded A, B, or C give credit in the Graduate School.
The grade S may be substituted for the grade A or B.

Courses CompLerep Morr Tuan Srx Yuars. A graduate course upon which
work has been completed for more than six years at the time of the final exam-
ination for the master’s degree may be offered in partial fulfillment of the
requirements of such degree only in case the student passes satisfactorily an
examination upon that course. Such examination shall be in addition to the
required general examination for the master’s degree.

SENIORS AND GrapuATE Stupy. A senior who is enrolled in sufficient work
to satisfy the requirements of his bachelor’s degree may enroll in the Graduate
School for the remainder of his program, provided that the total enrollment
does not exceed 16 hours for the semester or 8 hours for the summer session.

Srupents on Starr. Assistant instructors and other members of the teach-
ing staff of the University are permitted to carry graduate work to an amount
determined by the conditions of their employment. Full-time instructors may
receive not more than five hours of credit per semester to count toward the
master’s degree, and half-time instructors may receive not more than 10 hours
credit per semester. Full-time instructors who have the equivalent of a mas-
ter’s degree may carry as much as half the regular schedule of work.

Members of the staff of instruction of the University of Kansas of the rank

of assistant professor or higher will not be granted advanced degrees from this
University.

GrapuaTe Work 1n Summer Scuoou. Graduate students in the summer
session are subject to the same scholastic requirements as are graduate stu-
dents in the regular academic year. Students desiring graduate credit for sum-
mer work must enroll with the dean of the Graduate School. Attendance at
four summer sessions, each one half a semester in length, is considered the
equivalent of one year in residence. It is possible to satisfy the minimum resi-
dence requirements for the master’s degree in this way. Full information con-
cerning graduate courses in the summer session may be found in the announce-

ments of the summer session or may be obtained from the heads of the de-
partments.

Extension Crass Worx. A student who has satisfied the requirements for
entrance into the Graduate School may receive credit toward an advanced
degree for work taken in extension classes taught by members of the Univer-
sity faculty up to a maximum of six semester hours. Graduate credit for
extension classwork is given only for work done in courses approved for grad-
uate credit, and only after enrollment is approved by the dean of the Graduate
School. No graduate credit is given for work done by correspondence.

Fietp Worx. A candidate for an advanced degree who is not a resident in
Lawrence may enroll by means of field work for a portion of the credit for
the thesis. An enrollment for field work must have the approval of the major
department and of the dean of the Graduate School and is permitted only to a
student who has shown by graduate work in residence that he is prepared for
