GRADUATE CHOOL istou Hall, where nrmv C' I . I .raduate c asses ar - c held. . .. ' ' 1 'W Iiifrli teei D 1 years ago Marquette University equipped the Graduate School as a distinct unit ol' the educational system under its supervision. Since its establishment as an independ- ent unit the school has expanded rapidly and made numerous innovations. Graduate study is basically specialized work along a par- ticular line. The graduate student augments his class work with original research and special reading in his lleld. He has already grounded himsell' in the broad basis of a liberal arts or science education, and he is prepared to specialize when he reaches the Graduate school. Courses in the technique ol' research, as well as the close contact with his instructors which the Graduate school affords, enable the student to pursue his specialty to the best ol' his ability. One hundred and seventy higher degrees granted by the Graduate School at last Alune's Commencement. set a rec- ord ol' the number ol' successful research students who com- pleted their courses in 1941. This number, the largest in the history ol' the school, surpassed the total in any other unit ol' the University. The Master ol' Education degree, awarded lor the lirst time last June, was one reason for this substantial increase. For this degree certain required courses take the place ol' the traditional thesis. Two honorary doctorates were conferred last Commencement, a Doctor ol' Laws to Rock Sleyster, and a Doctor ol' Engineering to Karl Nystrom. The Graduate school has held its standards ol' admission on a high level. All registrants must hold a l5achelor's degree from an approved college or professional school, and have the scholastic ability to pursue advanced work. An average ol' li in the Undergraduate college is conside 'I ' ' ' tiou ol' such ability. icd a lair indica-
