Qraduate School For forty years it has been the policy of Auburn to encourage graduate work. Many chairs in Southern Colleges are today filled by men who got their first training in advanced work here. Young men have received an inspiration and an impulse toward research that led later on to valuable contributions to human knowledge. Indirectly the spirit of graduate work has done much to keep undergraduate work fresh and progressive. A few scholarships are now offered but more and larger ones are greatly needed. It has been the purpose to keep the graduate work free from red tape. There are a few fundamental regulations laid down by the college. These were adopted after a careful study of methods used in the leading institutions of the South and East. The graduate work is under the direction of the Dean of Graduate Studies in co-operation with the Deans of the various colleges of the institution. Graduation from the Alabama Polytechnic Institute or from an institution of approved rank is a prerequisite for any graduate degree. For credit in any graduate course a prerequisite is the completion of the undergraduate work in that subject through the senior class, or its equivalent. The applicant for a graduate degree must spend at least nine months at Auburn in earnest pursuit of the required work. GEORGE PETRIE graduated at the University of Virginia in 1887, where lie received the A. M. degree. In 1891 he received the degree of Ph. I), from Johns Hopkins. From 1887 to 1889 he was Professor of Modern Languages and History. In 1891 he was professor of History and Latin.
