I. The candidate shall elect some one of the Groups of study from the table in III, Master's degree, and within that group some special field, such as shall be approved by the faculty.

II. The candidate shall pass a minute examination on the special field selected, and shall show such acquaintance with other studies of the group as the faculty may require.

III. The candidate shall present a thesis on some subject connected with his special field of work; which thesis shall be the result of original investigation by the candidate, and shall be a contribution to knowledge.

IV. Candidates for this degree shall ordinarily be required to devote three full years of graduate study to preparation for the final examination; but if such study be not the candidate's sole occupation during that period, then the time of preparation shall be extended as the faculty may deem proper.

V. Candidates shall be in actual residence at the University and shall pursue their studies therein at least two years; they may, however, offer in lieu of one of these two years an equivalent term of resident graduate work in some other institution, it being

always required that they be in residence at this University the year next preceding the final examination. Candidates shall be regarded as in residence only when they carry on their work, in all essential respects, at the University itself.

VI. At the beginning of the year next preceding his final examination, the candidate shall pass a preliminary examination on the work for his degree that he has done up to that time.
