Report Of The President Of Bowdoin College For The Academic Year 1901 1902 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Report of the President of Bowdoin College: For the Academic Year 1898-99 Under this provision, during the past eight years, thirteen graduates have received the-degree. Of these thirteen persons ten have been engaged in teaching or as laboratory assistants at the college. Seven have studied in graduate courses in universi ties. There is not more than one of these thirteen, probably there is not one of them, who would not have received the degree here or elsewhere if residence had been required. Experience has shown that there is no practical equivalent for a year's graduate study. Many are called but few are chosen. Each year brings applications for courses leading to this degree. Each year those who attempt it find it impossible to do the required work. The members of the Faculty are called upon to prepare courses of study which are not completed. The college gets the unenviable reputation of granting degrees to persons not in resi dence, although in these eight years it has granted but one degree to a person whose work was done wholly by himself, and that person subsequently resorted to a university. The present prac tice occasions much annoyance and produces little or no desirable results. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
