KU Professor To Visit Munich

Ph.D. Tests Appear Hard
Candidates for Ph.D. degrees have to pass a proficiency examination in two foreign languages.
About 10,000 people a year receive Ph.D.'s, but this reading test has always seemed to be one of those deep dark, evil things which no one wants to think about. Not many people take it, and it has received a reputation as being extremely difficult.
DR. ROBERT NEELY, who is in charge of the French reading examination, said that the test consists of two parts.
The first part of the test consists of sight reading one page of material in one hour. The material to be sight read is taken from the pages of two books selected by the person who is going to take the examination. During this one hour period, the examinee is allowed to use a dictionary.
THE SECOND PART of the test is the reading of a prepared text.
In this test, the person being examined chooses 150-200 pages of French from a book. He then prepares this material to the best of his ability and one of these pages of material is given to him to translate without the aid of a dictionary.
If the candidate for the Ph.D. is successful in passing these two tests, he is on the way to earning his degree.
DR. NEELY said that this year 55 people have enrolled for the reading examination.
Being in charge of the examinations is no easy job either. Dr. Neely said that he has to approve the three books given to him by the person taking the examination, and always, there are some people who turn in their books at the last possible minute.
"Whenever this happens," said Dr. Neely, "I usually end up reading and approving books until early in the morning."
THE FRENCH EXAMINATION will be given on Oct. 5. This is the first of five times this reading examination will be offered in the 1963-64 school term.
