to do this raises grave doubts as to the advisability of the student
continuing graduate study and he should not register for
further work until after consultation with his department.
s. In general a student will find it necessary to continue his
graduate study and research for two years after admission to
candidacy.
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.
VII. SPECIAL REGULATIONS RELATING TO CANDIDACY FOR
THE DOCTOR'S DEGREE FOR STUDENTS MAJORING
IN CHEMISTRY
In agreement with the general requirements for higher degrees
adopted by the Committee on Graduate Study, as set forth in
Section V, the Division of Chemistry has adopted the following
special supplementary regulations:
1. To be recommended for candidacy for the Doctor's degree
the applicant must pass satisfactorily an examination in chemistry
of the character described in paragraph 2. This examination,
which will be mainly written but may be partly oral,
may be taken at one of four stated dates, namely, just before the
opening of the school year, and at end of each term.
2. The examination in chemistry will cover physical chemistry
(as treated in Noyes and Sherrill's "Chemical Principles") and
inorganic and organic chemistry to the extent that these are
treated in the Undergraduate Chemistry Course of the Institute,
also atomic structure (a general descriptive knowledge), colloid
and surface chemistry, and history of chemistry. In all these
subjects a detailed informational knowledge is not so much desired
as power to apply general principles to concrete problems.
s. Applicants must also show by examination or otherwise
that they are reasonably proficient in mathematics and physics.
