Abstract
OXFORD.—A statute will be promulgated early next term with the intention of instituting degrees of Doctor of Letters and Doctor of Science. The present statutes provide for the degree of Bachelor of Letters and Bachelor of Science, for which a course of special study or research, and a residence of two years, are required. Several of these research degrees have been granted during the last four years. It is now proposed that the Doctorate should be instituted, for which a candidate shall submit published papers or books containing an original contribution to the advancement of learning or science. A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Science must either be a Bachelor of Science of twenty-six terms standing, or a Master of Arts of thirty-nine terms standing.
