work at the University of Michigan. If botany is taken as a 

 major, it is advantageous, though not obligatory, to pursue one 

 of the minors in the same department. A thesis may or may not 

 be included in the work for the degree. 



The degree of Doctor of Science, or, by choice of the candi- 

 date, Doctor of Philosophy, is also open to all persons who have 

 received a bachelor's degree, and who have a knowledge of 

 French and German sufficient for purposes of research. As a 

 rule, three years of graduate study will be necessary, the last two 

 semesters of which must be spent at this University. If botany 

 be chosen as a major subject, one of the minors may be in the 

 same department ; the other should be taken in chemistry, zoology, 

 or some related science. A thesis showing capacity for original 

 investigation and embodying results which are a recognized con- 

 tribution to science is invariably required. The thesis must be 

 printed in full or in part, as may be approved by the responsible 

 committee, and one hundred and fifty copies must be deposited in 

 the University library for exchange with other universities. 



FEES AND EXPENSES. 



Matriculation Fee. Every student before entering any depart- 

 ment of the University is required to pay a matriculation fee. This 

 fee, which, for a citizen of Michigan, is ten dollars, and for a per- 

 son who comes from any other State or country, twenty-five dol- 

 lars, is paid but once, and entitles the student to the privileges of 

 permanent membership in the University. 



Annual Fee. In addition to the matriculation fee, every stu- 

 dent has to pay an annual fee for incidental expenses. This fee 

 is paid the first year of residence at the University, and every 

 year of residence thereafter. Resident- graduates are required to 

 pay the same annual fee as undergraduates. The annual fees are 

 for Michigan students, thirty dollars ; for all others, forty dollars. 



Laboratory Expenses. Students who pursue laboratory 

 courses of study are required to pay for the materials and ap- 

 paratus actually consumed by them. The deposits required in 

 advance are different for the different courses, ranging from one 

 to twenty dollars. The laboratory expenses of students will vary 

 with their prudence and economy.
