'i In the academic year 1907-08, the Graduate School Cnow Collegej was officially estab- lished as an educational unit of the Univer- sity. From a small beginning, the graduate student body has grown to 3,600, the third largest college on the campus. Graduate programs stressing independent work and individual research have been es- tablished in over sixty-Eve departments and divisions of the University. The four original fellowships authorized by the Board of Trus- tees have been increased to provide a sub- stantial number of awards for students of unusual promise. Other students of excep- tional ability gain valuable teaching and re- search experience through the many part- time assistantships which are available. The Graduate College has recently conferred about 1,462 Master's degrees per year and 281 doctorates during the last calendar year.
