UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY

A candidate holding the B. S. degree in one field of engineering
may apply for the professional degree in another field of engineering,
if he has attained unusual prominence and success in that field.

The fees for the Master’s Degree are the same as those for the
M. A. and M. S. degrees. The fees for the Professional Degree are
$15.00 registration fee and $15.00 graduation fee.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE 0F DOCTOR OF
PHILOSOPHY

The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is conferred upon a candidate
who, after completing not less than three years of graduate work
devoted to the study of a special field of knowledge, passes the required
presents a satisfactory dissertation, and

is deemed worthy of recognition as a scholar of. high attainments in

his chosen province.
The Doctor’s degree is intended to represent not a specified amount

of work covering a specified time, but the attainment, through long
study, of independent and comprehensive scholarship in a special field.
Such a scholarship should be shown by a thorough acquaintance with
present knowledge in his special field of learning and a marked capac-

ity for research.

REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICANT

ADMISSION

Admission to the Graduate School and acceptance of advanced
credits from other institutions must first be approved by the Registrar.

In order to be accepted as an applicant for the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy the student must present evidence that he has completEd
an undergraduate course and has received his baccalaureate degree
from a college of recognized standing.

The Graduate Committee reserves the right to decide in each case
of applicancy for a degree whether the prerequisite training has been
satisfactory and, if. any of the years of advanced work have been
passed in another institution, whether they may be properly regarded
as having been spent under suitable guidance and favorable condi-
tions. Private study is not considered as equivalent to university
work. In any case the student must pass the qualifying examination5
at the University of Kentucky and spend the last year of the residellCe
requirements at this institution.

CLASSIFICATION

A student wishing to become an applicant for the Doctor’s
must first regularly register in the Graduate School of the University
of Kentucky and must then classify with the Dean of the Gradllate
School who will appoint a special committee for that student. This
special committee, the chairman of which shall be his major profess“.

will consist of members of the departments in which the applicant
elects to do his major and minor work and this committee will super-
vise his work throughout his period of study.

Not every applicant for the Doctor’s dcgroe is a cam‘lidalc. A
student is not a candidate for the degree until he has passed the quali-
fying examinations, satisfied the language requirements, and made
formal application to be so enrolled.

COURSES 0E STUDY

Every applicant for the degree must select one major and at least
one and not more than two minor subjects.

The major subject should be one in which he intends to concen-
trate his efforts; the minor subjects should be closely allied to the
major field or be subjects which will be of value in the major work
and should be approved by the major department.

The applicant’s principal work must be in the major subject.
Although no absolute regulations are laid down in respect to the time
to be devoted to the major and minor subjects, it may be stated in
general that the major subject should represent two-thirds of the
student’s entire time.

Any regular graduate course may be assigned as part of the appli-
cant’s work by his special committee. Only courses numbered above
100 in the University catalogue are considered as of a graduate status.
The number and extent of such courses is determined by the special
committee.

REQUIREMENTS FOR CANDIDATES
RESIDENCE

A minimum of three collegiate years of resident graduate work,
of which at least the last year must be spent at the University of Ken-
tucky, is required for the doctorate. The full time of each of these
years must be spent in study. Part-time students and those holding
assistantships or engaging in other outside activities will of course be
required to take a proportionately longer time.

Candidates for the doctor’s degree who major in the College of
Education may not satisfy residence requirements entirely by attend-
ance in Summer Sessions, but must attend at least two semesters dur-
ing the regular college year. (See announcement under EDUCATION.)

While it is expected that a well-prepared student of good ability
may secure the degree upon the completion of three years of study, it
should be understood that this time requirement is a minimum and
is wholly secondary to the matter of scholarship. Neither time spent
in study, however long, nor the accumulation of facts, however great
in amount, nor the completion of advanced courses, however numer-
ous, can be substituted for independent thinking and original research.

Work done in other institutions of learning may be accepted
toward the doctorate at the University of Kentucky but no Work is

credited which has not been done in a college or university of reccg.
nized standing or in a research laboratory.

LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS

The applicant must give evidence of having a good reading knowl-
edge and of being able to translate at sight at least two modern foreign
languages. This proficiency is determined by examinations conducted
by the respective language departments. The German department will
examine applicants during each semester and also during the summer
session. Ordinarily French and German are expected to be offered, but
other languages may be substituted on recommendation of the special
committee if it is considered that such languages are of greater im-
portance in the special field of work. The language requirements must
be satisfied before the applicant can be admitted to the qualifying
examination.

QUALIFYING EXAMINATION

Applicants for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy are required to
pass a Qualifying Examination. This examination shall be taken dur-
ing the second semester of the second year of residence. The examina-
tion shall be both oral and written and shall cover both major and
minor subjects. It shall be prepared and given to the applicant by a
committee of five to be appointed by the Dean of the Graduate School.
The language requirements must have been met before the qualifying
examination is taken. No applicant may proceed to his final examina-
tion until one year of work has been completed after he has passed
the qualifying examination. If the applicant fails to pass the quali-
fying examination, no re-examination shall be allowed except upon the
recommendation of the special committee and the approval of the
Graduate Faculty. If the applicant passes the qualifying examina-
tion he is then considered as a candidate for the degree and may make
formal application for his rating.

DISSERTATION

Each candidate must present a dissertation covering his thesis
work. This dissertation must give evidence of the candidate’s ability
to carry on independent investigation and must be satisfactory in
style and composition. It must represent a definite contribution to
the knowledge of his subject, must be the result of independent work,
must include original research and must in some way add to or other-
wise modify what was previously known on the subject. Two bound
typewritten copies of the thesis and an abstract of not less than 1,200
nor more than 3,000 words must be formally presented to the Dean of
the Graduate School at least four weeks before the final examination-

FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS

For the encouragement of research and scholarship the following
fellowships and scholarships have been established:

Ten University scholarships with a stipend of $200.00 each.
Five University fellowships with a stipend of $400.00 each.
One Registrar’s fellowship with a stipend of $500.00.

Scholars and fellows will be expected to devote their whole time
to graduate work, and no teaching or other departmental work may
be required of them. Students employed as assistants in departments
should as a rule take two years to satisfy a year’s requirement.

Fellowships and scholarships are open to those who already held,
or will receive at the close of the academic year, a bachelor’s degree
from any college or university of good standing, provided the student
has shown some special aptitude for the line of work he desires to
pursue.

The primary object of these appointments is to stimulate research
and not to give pecuniary aid. No departmental duties of any kind
will be required of fellows and scholars. Candidates for the awards
must be graduates of standard colleges or universities and must show
evidence of high scholarship and fitness for graduate study. No stu-‘
dent should apply for the award who does not cherish a real and ear-
nest desire to do research work. The appointments are made for one
year only but may be renewed~ if it can be satisfactorily showu that
the prosecution of research undertaken should continue.

Forms for making application may be secured from the Dean of
the Graduate School, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky.
All applications should be on file not later'than the 15th of April.
