Dedicated to the advancement of literature, sci- ence, and art, its educational program of liberal and technical learning may justify the designation "Institute" as representing the functions of a teaching university and those of a research institution. The Institute was incorporated in 1891 under a broad charter granting the trustees large freedom in the future organi- zation of a non-political and non-sectarian institution to be dedicated to the advancement of letters, science, and arts. Since the opening in 1912, the highest ideals of scholarship have been upheld, and graduate study and research have been carried on as a principal means of advancing the several fields of learning. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy has been awarded in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, chemical en- gineering, English, history, and French. This degree represents the completion of at least three years of advanced study after the award of a suitable bachelor's degree, and in most cases four or more years are required. It also represents the completion of an original piece of investigation, the report of which constitutes the thesis. The thesis must be deposited in the Institute library in ac- cordance with the established regulations (see page 2). As final evidence of his preparation for this degree, the candidate must pass a public oral examination. The degree of Master of Arts is available in the foregoing and other fields of study, and the degree of Master in Architecture or Master of Science in a branch of engineering (M.S. in Ch.E., M.S. in C.E., M.S. in E.E., or M.S. in M.E.) may be obtained. Each of these degrees represents the completion of at least one full year of advanced work in a special field. Such programs will generally include a piece of original work embodied in a thesis, and the candidate's preparation will be evidenced by a public examination. Students whose undergraduate preparation has not included sufficient specialized work, or whose time is partly occu- 1 A THE RICE INSTITUTE pied with teaching duties, may require at least two years to complete the requirements for a master's degree. Language requirements for advanced degrees are as follows: A candidate for the master's degree will be expected to demonstrate a reading knowledge of either French or German to a committee composed of one representative of the appropriate language department and one representative of the candidate's major department. A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy will be expected to demonstrate a reading knowledge of either French or German to a committee composed of one representative of the appropriate language department and one representative of the candidate's major department. In addition, he will be expected to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Graduate Committee a reading knowledge of one other language ap- proved by his major department. The Committee on Graduate Instruction has authorized three scheduled periods for the language examinations required of all candidates for the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. The initial examina- tion will be held during the first week after registration. This is the latest period in which Ph.D. candidates may fullfill the lan- guage requirements for graduation in the following June. A second examination will be scheduled during the first week of the second semester and the third examination will be conducted in the first week of May. Candidates for the M.A. degree may satisfy the language requirements in any of these three examina- tion periods. Graduate students must consult with the German and French departments to determine the exact time and place of these examinations and inform their research directors to select a suitable book or journal. The choice of the material is entirely up to the research director; the judgment of the ability to read this material rests entirely with the language departments. The following regulations govern the deposit of all theses. Can- didates should apply to the Librarian for detailed instructions concerning format. 1. The thesis, in final form, should be presented in triplicate to the pro- fessor in charge of the thesis work, not later than May 1.
