GRADUATE SCHOOL Before 1910 graduate work was supervised by the faculty principally through the Committee on Graduate Courses; then the Board of Trustees replaced this system by creating the Graduate School. The two basic purposes of the Graduate School are to promote thorough creative and fundamental scholarship and to provide advanced training in the profes- sional and vocational fields The Master of Arts and the Master of Sciences degrees are offered in most major subjects; the Ph.D. is offered in English, education, mathematics, zool- ogy, psychology, history, and plant sciences.
