3. In general a student will find it necessary to continue his
graduate study and research for two years after admission to candidacy
and the final doctoral examination will be based upon this
work rather than upon the candidacy courses.
4. Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy with a
major in Physics or Mathematics must take the final examination
some time before the beginning of the term in which they expect
the degree to be conferred.
5. A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy with a
major in Mathematics must deliver a typewritten or printed copy of
his completed thesis, in final form, to the professor in charge on or
before May 1 of the year in which the degree is to be conferred.
6. A student in Electrical Engineering will, in general, be expected
to have had six months or more of practical work in manufacturing,
operating, or engineering research, in addition to the time required
for college residence.
B. CHEMISTRY·
1. To be recommended for candidacy for the doctor's degree in
Chemistry the applicant must give satisfactory evidence of proficiency
by means of the following:
a. Candidacy examination in physical chemistry,
h. Candidacy examination in inorganic chemistry,
c. Candidacy examination in organic chemistry,
d. Candidacy examination in colloid and surface chemistry,
c. Written report on the progress of research.
The examinations will be mainly written but will be partly oral.
They will cover their respective subjects substantially to the extent
that these are treated in the undergraduate chemistry option; the
proficiency expected is not less than that acquired by the abler undergraduates.
A detailed informational knowledge is not so much desired
as an understanding of general principles and a power to apply these
to concrete problems .
