Vlll THE RICE INSTITUTE GENERAL STATEMENT

The Rice Institute bears the name of the founder, the late Wil- liam Marsh Rice. 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. It should be fastened together in such a way as to avoid loss or mutilation of pages, but without punching any holes in the sheets. A compression binder is recommended. 2. After securing the approval of the professor on the title page, the candidate should then present the three copies, together with a fee GENERAL STATEMENT

of $9.00 to cover the cost of binding ( $3.00 per copy) to the secretary of the Committee on Graduate Instruction on the second floor of Lovett Hall, not later than May 15. Theses more than one inch in thickness must be bound in more than one volume. Candidates may have additional copies of the theses bound for their own use at the rate of $3.00 per copy. 3. The secretary of the Committee on Graduate Instruction will have the copies deposited in the library, where the thesis will be checked by the library s staff for correctness of form. ... If minor corrections or changes in the thesis are necessary, the candidate may have an opportunity to make them after the examination, before the final binding.

By special arrangement with the head of the department in which he is specializing, a graduate student who is already a can- didate for an advanced degree may enroll in an approved research course during the summer. Such enrollment .will be for a twelve- week period starting with the end of the regular academic year. Laboratory fees only will be charged. Applicants for admission to graduate study are advised to take the Graduate Record Examination, arrangements for which may be made by writing to the Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey. Since the Rice Institute maintains an examination center for local supervision of the examinations, applicants in the Houston area may make the necessary arrange- ments by applying in person at the Office of the Director of Ad- missions. Preference will be given to applicants who earn high scores on examinations given by this organization. At the discre- tion of the Committee on Graduate Instruction, the Graduate Record Examination or other examinations may be required of individual applicants. Application for admission to graduate study should be made to the Registrar as early as possible. INSTRUCTIONAL AND RESEARCH STAFF EMERITUS FACULTY

Because of the desirability of frequent community dining, which serves as a continual reminder of the unity of the college, resident collegians are required to pay for a minimum number of meals each week; additional meals are optional. The cost of meals will probably vary slightly during the year, averaging $55 monthly. HEALTH SERVICE

A Health service located in Hanszen College is maintained for students. This service includes dispensary and infirmary care. The school physician makes scheduled sick calls and can be called in case of an emergency. A registered nurse is on duty during school hours; a qualified attendant is available at all hours. Information about the facilities and care, and about insurance, 1 can be secured at the Office of the Health Service (reached by the north-east entrance of Hanszen College).

1 A Hospitalization and Accident Insurance policy with a nationally known company is available for students who desire this coverage. STIPENDS AND FUNDS

Graduate students with high academic records and outstanding qualifications may be awarded graduate assistantships—fellow- ships in the various departments of the Rice Institute. The mini-

mum stipend of a graduate assistantship is $650, and of a fellow- ship $650, with exemption from all fees. A student holding these appointments must be a candidate for an advanced degree; he will be expected to devote a substantial part of his program to study and research, and at the same time to teach one section in an ele- mentary course or to do an equivalent amount of other depart- mental work. He will thus get a certain amount of valuable practical training in preparation for an academic career. Ap- pointments carrying larger stipends, with a schedule equivalent to a teaching load of two sections, are occasionally available; such appointments depend on the interests and attainments of the stu- dent and on the requirements of the department.

GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS

Students whose previous records show marked promise but for whom no graduate assistantships are available may, especially in their first year of graduate study at the Rice Institute, be awarded graduate scholarships with exemption from all fees but without stipend. Graduate scholars may carry a full schedule of graduate work, and are not required to render any service to the Institute.

VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION SCHOLARSHIPS

"The Texas Education Agency, through the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, offers payment of tuition and other services to civilian students who have certain physical handicaps, provided the vocational objective selected by the student has been approved by representatives of Vocational Rehabilitation. Application for Vocational Rehabilitation should be made to the Office of Vo- cational Rehabilitation, 401 Old National Building, 5619 Fannin

Street, Houston 4, Texas, or the Director of Vocational Rehabili- tation, 104 Land Office Building, Austin, Texas." SUBJECTS OF GRADUATE INSTRUCTION

The courses listed below have been given in recent years or have been announced for the near future. Not all are repeated annu- ally, and modifications or additional courses are likely to be introduced from time to time. Information about offerings for each academic session can be secured from the Office of the Registrar or from department heads. The numbers designating the courses have the following sig- nificance: courses having numbers beginning with 5, 6, and 7, are designed primarily for graduates of progressively higher standing; others are undergraduate courses. 1 Figures entered in parentheses at the left below the descrip- tion of each course signify the number of class hours per week, the number of laboratory hours per week, and the number of semester hours credit for the completed course. Thus, the entry (3-0-3) under Mathematics 570a means that the course meets three times per week, has no laboratory, and ( being a one-semes- ter course) is worth three semester hours credit. The letters "a" and "b" after course numbers indicate first-semester and second- semester courses, respectively. The entry (3-3-8) below Physics 410 means that the course meets three hours per week, has three hours of laboratory work per week and (being a two-semester course) is worth eight semester hours' credit. Instructors of courses, as named at the lower right of the de- scriptions, are subject to change. ARCHITECTURE

Graduate work in Biology is open to qualified applicants who hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent, with a major in a biological science. Graduate specialization is limited to fields related to the research interests of the staff. Prospective graduate students should take the Graduate Record Examination before applying, or as soon thereafter as practicable. If it is not taken prior to matriculation, it may be required during the first year of residence. The following areas of specialization are currently offered in Biology: biochemistry, embryology, endocrinology, general physi- ology, genetics, immunology, medical entomology, microanatomy, and parasitology. Applicants desiring specializations not included above are advised to communicate directly with the chairman of the department before submitting application for admission. Program for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy:

a) Usually four or more years of graduate study with at least the last two years at the Rice Institute. b) At least six graduate courses in biological and related

sciences (by a course is meant a course which continues

through two semesters and is equivalent to at least six semester-hours credit) other than thesis work, of which at least three must be taken at the Rice Institute. c) Completion of an original investigation worthy of publica- tion in a recognized scientific journal, and the submission

of a doctoral thesis as described on page 2. It is expected that the candidate will have already published the results of original investigations or have such accepted for publica-

tion before the degree is awarded. BIOLOGY 43

d) Completion of language requirements as described on page

2.

e) The following examinations must be passed:

1) Certification examination: taken during the first week of the first year in residence. This examination is fol- lowed by a meeting with a committee of the staff for the purpose of reviewing the program of the candidate.

2) Qualifying examination: This is an oral and/or written examination over the major and related fields of the candidate's specialization. It must be passed at least nine months before the degree is awarded. 3) An oral examination in defense of the thesis.

The Degree of Master of Arts: The degree of Master of Arts may be obtained after two years of graduate study upon the successful completion of the language requirement, four gradu- ate courses, the acceptance of a thesis embodying the results of original investigation, in defense of which an oral examination is given. The taking of this degree is not required as a prerequi- site for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and may be omitted with the approval of the candidate's certification committee. Laboratory Instruction: Financial assistance in the form of graduate assistantships, predoctoral fellowships, research assist- antships, and scholarships is given as available. All graduate stu- dents in biology are expected to engage in some laboratory in- struction regardless of type of appointment, as this instruction is considered an important part of the training of the candidate. Graduate students are assigned to different courses from year to year to obtain the maximum benefit from this phase of train- ing. The Biological Laboratories: The Biology Department is cur- rently located in the Physics Building. Construction on a new Biology Building was started in the fall of 1956. The new facili- ties allow unusual opportunities for graduate study, being com- pletely air-conditioned and furnished with all standard modern equipment for biological, physiological and biochemical studies. Individual laboratories are provided for each graduate student to facilitate the carrying out of his research. Special laboratories, 44 THE RICE INSTITUTE such as radio-isotope laboratories, low temperature laboratories, a photographic suite, are available as needed.

A student who has completed a course for the degree of Bachelor of Arts may be admitted as a candidate for the degree of Master of Arts or of Doctor of Philosophy.

Preparation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy involves at least three years of graduate work. The thesis must present a distinctly original contribution to the subject. It should be accept- able for publication in an accredited journal or series, and copies must be deposited in the Institute library.

The following specific requirements must be met by candidates for advanced degrees taking their major work in chemistry:

(a) For admission to graduate standing, candidates for ad- vanced degrees must possess a reading knowledge of scientific German, and must have completed general courses equivalent to the work through organic and physical chemistry offered

during the first three years of an undergraduate major in chem- istry at the Rice Institute, and at least one full-year course of more advanced study equivalent to Senior work in chemistry of the Rice Institute. (b) For admission to graduate standing in chemistiy, pref- erence will be given to applicants who earn high scores on the Graduate Record Examination, including the advanced test in

chemistry. (See page 3.) A new graduate student who has not taken the Graduate Record Examination may be required to do CHEMISTRY 49

so at the earliest examination time during his first semester of residence.

(c) A candidate for the degree of Master of Arts is required to complete, in addition to a thesis, three approved full-year courses; and, also, he must pass a final public oral examination. (d) Comprehensive written examinations in physical, inor- ganic and organic chemistry will be given to all graduate stu- dents beginning their second year of work. The results of these examinations will determine whether the student will be per- mitted to continue in graduate work. (e) A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy must have met the course requirements for the master's degree in chemistry; in addition he must complete three advanced full- year courses approved by the department, together with the doctoral thesis. He must satisfy the Institute language require- ments (see page 2) by demonstrating a reading knowledge of scientific French and scientific German. Also, he must pass a final public oral examination.

Graduate assistants who devote as much as six hours per week to teaching will, in general, be expected to spend two years in residence for the master's degree and four years in residence for the doctor's degree.

The Rice Institute offers graduate work in engineering to its own graduates of superior standing, and to similarly qualified holders of bachelor's degrees from other recognized institutions. Possession of a degree does not automatically guarantee admis- sion to graduate work. Applicants will be screened by the depart- ment concerned and by the Committee on Graduate Instruction, and will be required to submit evidence of suitable preparation and of ability to do work of the quality expected.

The courses outlined below indicate the general nature of the requirements for advanced degrees in the several fields of engi- neering. 1 In addition, a candidate may be required to pass courses which he has not previously taken, but which are required by the Rice Institute for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the field of engineering concerned. Furthermore, attention is called to the fact that completion of the courses indicated below will not auto- matically lead to the award of a degree. The general quality of the candidate's course work, as well as the quality of his thesis, will be carefully considered by the department concerned and by the Committee on Graduate Instruction before he is recom- mended to the faculty for an advanced degree. In some cases a student may complete the work for a master's degree in one year, but he should count on a minimum of two years if he is holder of an appointment requiring some teaching or other service.

English 540. Topics in English Literary History. Graduate re- search. GEOLOGY Professor Carey Croneis, Chairman

In January, 1952, Mrs. Olga Wiess provided an endowment fund to establish the Harry Carothers Wiess Chair of Geology as a memorial to her husband. As a result, a department of geology has been created and a full program of courses in the subject is being offered. The first senior class in geology was graduated in June, 1955.

Students with a bachelor's degree in geology ( or, in some cases, in related sciences) from the Rice Institute, or an equivalent degree from another institution of similar standing, are con- sidered for admission to graduate work.

Graduate work is conducted in those specialties that are compatible with the equipment available and with the inter- ests of the staff of the Rice Institute. At present, the department

of geology is prepared to offer advanced work in geo-chemistry, geophysics, igneous and sedimentary petrology, paleontology and

micropaleontology, and ore deposits. It is anticipated that in the near future additions to the staff and the new geology building, completed in 1957, will make possible advanced work in other fundamental divisions of the science. 74 THE RICE INSTITUTE

Graduate work in geology is oriented toward the theoretical and fundamental aspects of the subject, rather than directly toward its many applied aspects.

Candidates for admission to the graduate school will find it advantageous to take the Graduate Record Examination.

Candidates for the master's degree in geology will be expected to:

(1) Demonstrate a satisfactory reading knowledge of scien- tific German. Scientific French may, in certain cases, be substi- tuted by students specializing in geobiology.

(2) Complete, at a high level, an approved program of graduate courses in geology and related subjects. This pro- gram may include an advanced field course and undergraduate courses in certain supporting sciences.

(3) Pass a basic examination in geology before a major re- search program is undertaken.

(4) Make an oral defense of an original research contribu- tion which has been presented in a form suitable for publica- tion.

Candidates for the doctor's degree in geology will be required to:

(1) Pass a reading examination in German and in a second approved language, e.g., French, Russian, or Spanish.

(2) Complete an approved course of graduate study and examinations.

(3) Complete for publication a thesis which represents an original contribution to the science.

(4) Make an oral defense of the thesis.

Professor F. E. Ulrich, Chairman

The Rice Institute has always placed great emphasis on the study of mathematics, and has acquired a very complete mathe- matical library including all the important mathematical journals. Admission to graduate study in mathematics will be granted to a limited number of students who have earned the bachelor's degree from the Rice Institute, or another institution of similar standing, and whose undergraduate work in mathematics is such as to indicate the ability for advanced and original work. Those students who have completed a large amount of undergraduate mathematics and who devote full time to graduate study may earn the degree of Master of Arts in one year. The minimum time MATHEMATICS 87 required by candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy is three years. It is to be expected that most students will require longer than the minimum time, particularly holders of graduate assistantships. For the master's degree, the requirements are:

(a) The completion with high standing of at least three ad- vanced courses. (b) The presentation of a written thesis on a subject ap- proved by the department. (c) The passing of an examination in either French or Ger- man demonstrating ability to read scientific literature in the language. (d) The passing of an oral examination given by the faculty.

For the doctor's degree, the requirements are:

(a) The completion with high standing of at least six ad- vanced courses. (b) The presentation of a written thesis on a subject ap- proved by the department. The purpose of the doctor's thesis is to demonstrate the candidate's ability to make an original con- tribution to a field of mathematics in which he has become ex-

pert. This is a more extensive and advanced type of study than

that required for the master's degree, and is expected to reveal definite originality and inventiveness, and to be suitable for publication.

(c) The writing of a minor thesis. This is a study of an as- signed topic in a field outside that of the candidate's principal thesis. The time allowed for writing the minor thesis is 5 weeks during the school year or 4 weeks in the summer. (d) The passing of examinations in both French and German demonstrating ability to read scientific literature in these lan- guages. (e) The passing of an oral examination given by the faculty.

In order that they may obtain adequate experience in collegiate teaching, students holding assistantships are assigned a moderate schedule of regular teaching duties in the deparment. These du- ties usually consist in the instruction of one or two small sections 88 THE RICE INSTITUTE in courses of elementary or intermediate character, and constitute an important part of the training for a teaching career.

A minimum of one year of graduate study is required for the de- gree of Master of Arts and at least two years for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. 1 To be recommended for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, a student must present an original thesis describing the results of his experimental or theoretical research in form suitable for publication. He must also attend a sufficient number of courses to acquire a broad fundamental knowledge of physics in addition to his research specialization. His mastery in the field of physics will be tested by an oral examination given by the faculty.

Research done recently in the department has included work on the following subjects among others:

1 Concerning language requirements for each degree, see page 2. PHYSICS 93

pro- (1) Nuclear disintegrations produced by high-energy tons and deuterons.

(2) Energies of and y rays.

(3) Scattering of neutrons and disintegrations produced by neutrons.

(4) Biophysics.

(5) Cosmic rays. (6) Hall effect in metals and gases.

(7) Magnetic properties of iron and other materials.

(8) Physics of the solid state.

(9) Low-temperature physics. (10) Superconductivity.

The physics laboratories contain twenty-five rooms suitable for research, several of which are large enough for more than one man to work in. There is a well-equipped workshop in which five instrument makers are employed, and another workshop for gradu- ate students. One of the instrument makers is a skilled glass blower.

Fifteen of the research rooms are air-conditioned and can be kept at nearly constant temperature.

For research in nuclear physics a new building housing a 6 mev Van de Graaff accelerator was completed in 1953. Other research equipment includes a high-pressure Van de Graaff generator, giv- ing over two million volts, and a Cockcroft and Waton voltage doubler, giving two hundred thousand volts. Auxiliary equipment includes cloud expansion chambers, Geiger counters, proportional counters, scintillation spectrometers, pulse height analyzers, linear amplifiers, a gamma-ray spectrograph, scaling circuits, electro- scopes, and radioactive sources. Recently an annular magnet with poles of 75 cm. diameter has been completed for precision meas- urements of energies of charged particles.

For research in low-temperature physics a modern liquid he- lium plant is available which supplies several liters of liquid helium an hour. Auxiliary equipment is being used for low-tem- perature specific heat measurements, for magnetic studies on su- perconductors, and for superfluidity studies on liquid helium. 94 THE RICE INSTITUTE

The department has a large electromagnet, the current for which is supplied by a 25 kw. generator, and large cobalt steel permanent magnet with poles 15 cms. in diameter.

The research rooms are supplied with three-phase A.C. at 110 and 220 volts, and with D.C. from two batteries, one of 300 am- pere hours capacity, giving up to 120 volts, and also from four 10 kw. D.C. generators. Gas, water, and compressed air are also available.

Cathode-ray oscillographs, oscillators, amplifiers, power sup- plies, and klystrons and magnetrons are available for research on electronics and highfrequency electromagnetic waves.

The optical equipment includes a large Michelson echelon and several interferometers, a large quartz spectrograph, a spectro- photometer, an infrared spectrometer, an ultraviolet spectrometer, and several wave-length spectrometers. There are several dark- rooms in the laboratory. Equipment for work on X-rays is also available.

A sound-level meter, a sound analyzer, and quartz plate oscil- lators are available for work on sound and supersonics.

The library is especially well equipped with a very complete file of periodicals.

Qualified students holding a bachelor's degree from the Rice Institute, or other institutions of equal standing, may be admitted as graduate students of Romance languages, and later accepted as candidates for an advanced degree.

Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts

(a) The completion of four advanced courses accepted by the department. (b) The passing of an examination in Spanish, Italian, or German. (c) The satisfactory completion of a thesis on a subject ac- cepted by the department. (d) The passing of an oral examination.

In some cases a graduate student may complete the work for the master's degree in one year, but normally two years will be required.

Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Opportunities for research at the Rice Institute, including the facilities of the Fondren Library, make it possible for qualified students to do work leading to the degree of Doctor of Philoso- phy in French. This degree is offered only in certain fields of French literature and of comparative literature. Any student seek- ing the degree should consult the department well in advance of registration.

The awarding of the doctor's degree is not based on an accumulation of credits or on compliance with formal require- ments. The candidate is expected to have a good general back- ground in the fields of history and literature. He must be fully familiar with modern methods of research, and show a compre- 98 THE RICE INSTITUTE hensive knowledge of the field chosen. The degree is conferred only for work of distinction in which the candidate displays powers of original scholarship.

(a) Candidates will be expected to pass with credit at least six graduate courses, of which five should be in the department of Romance languages. Others may, with the permission of the de- partment, be taken in the departments of English, German, or History. (b) Candidates working toward a Ph.D. degree in French must pass a preliminary written and oral examination on the authors indicated in a reading list provided by the department, and on the literature, culture, and civilization of France. (c) Candidates will be expected to pass a reading examination in two other languages, one of which will be a Romance language and the other outside the Romance field, usually German. Re- quirements (b) and (c) must be fulfilled at least a year before the submission of a thesis. (d) Candidates will be required to write a thesis on some field of research approved by the department. This thesis is expected to represent an original contribution to the body of knowledge of that field. (e) Candidates must pass a final oral examination on their thesis and related fields.
