Members of the student bhody at American University who are candi- dates for degrees at the June convo- cation, which will~be Freld at the university grounds west of Wiscon- sin avenie in connection with the dedication of the new buildings of the College of Liberal Arts, must have completed any theses they ex- pect to present in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degrees by the last day of March. This is necessary in order to give ample op- portunity for examining the theses before the students are called upon to defend them. Under an arrangement recently adopted at the university candidates for the master's degree are not re- quired to submit a thesis, but may instead do class work amounting to 50 per cent more than the .ordinary requirement. This provision does not apply to candidates for the doctorate, American University has accepted the view expressed recently by the University of Iowa that the form of a thesis “may be as varied as the in- terests of science, art and literature, pure and applied,” and that the method of treatment may be simi- larly varied. Under certain circum- stances a thesis might take the form of a creative work, such as a mathematical system, philosophical theory, poem or symphony, though naturally technical, historical or critical treatment are to be expected The annual banquet of John Mar- shall Chapter, Ch{ Psa Omega Fra- ternity, composed of members of American University, was held last evening at the Portland Cafe.
