GRADUATE WORK

   GRADUATE work was organized in the University of Nebraska twenty-six years ago. In 1886, a committee of the General Faculty, with Doctor Edgren as chairman. recommended a plan of registration, and thirteen subjects. leading to the degree of Master of Arts, were offered. The first graduate instruction was given in September of the year just named.
   The General Faculty continued to manage the instruction of graduate students, and to recommend them for degrees until 1895. This year the teachers offering graduate courses were organized in the Graduate School. The charter of the University gave no authority for the founding of a college.
   In 1909, the charter of the University was amended, and the original number of five colleges was increased to seven, with The Graduate College heading the list. To supplement this plan of organization, the Board of Regents placed the administration of this College under the control of a Graduate Council, consisting of eight members under the Dean as chairman. The eight members are chosen as representatives of the eight groups of subjects recognized in the College of Arts and Sciences.
   The Graduate College provides instruction, and opportunities for research, to persons wishing to extend their specialization beyond the four years of their college course. Two hundred and nine students were registered last year, most of these graduates from the colleges of Nebraska. Advanced standards are requiring of superintendents and secondary teachers the expert and technical preparation represented by a master's degree. There is demand also for advanced courses in Engineering, which have of late been added. The Graduate College offers these privileges, costly in endowed Institutions, practically without expense to all who are prepared to use them.
