than those of candidates for the non-technical degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. The technical Colleges should have an opportunity to pass upon the admission of candidates for their master's degree, and they should have control of work which is practically done wholly or largely in the College. If the administration of these technical degrees were entrusted to the Colleges concerned, and the control of the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy retained by the University Faculty, there would be, I am sure, a great saving in time and an improvement in the method of administering the graduate department which might then be more formally organized perhaps as a larger committee of the University Faculty under the charge of a chairman, not necessarily the Dean of the University Faculty. I regret that the report of the special committee received so little attention, and I trust that the whole subject may receive the careful consideration of the University Faculty next year. I would again call attention to the question of Graduate Work done during the summer, either in the session of the Summer School or outside the session of the Summer School. As I have treated this subject fully in my report for last year (pages XIV-XVI), I will say here only that some general policy should be adopted in regard to the matter. If students are to be allowed to pursue graduate work during the summer vacation outside of the Summer School, there should be some more definite organization and supervision of such work. Graduate students who are not candidates for a degree, as well as those who are, have been required to work under the direction of a special committee of the Faculty. The numbers of such students for the past sixteen years has been as follows: '92 '93 '94 '95 '96 '97 '98 '99 '00 ΟΙ '02 '03 '04 '05 '06 '07 2 4 III 14 18 14 35 20 22 19 18 12 II 21 18 The number of advanced degrees conferred during the years 1891-1907 was as follows: A.
