GRADUATE SCHOOL HISTORY

W ORK leading to an advanced degree was first offered in the Med ical College in 1912 as a cooperative arrangement with the Graduate School of Cornell University. Under the plan as originally an nounced, students registered for an advanced degree in the Medical Col lege, but in all respects they were subject to the rules and regulations prevailing at the University. The departments offering graduate instruc tion were identified in the first announcement merely as the “scientific departments.” Graduate work has continued to occupy a place in the Medical Col lege since the year it was established, and advanced degrees have been awarded in anatomy, bacteriology and immunology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, physiology and biophysics, and public health and preventive medicine.

TH E GRADUATE SCHOOL

OF MEDICAL SCIENCES

In June, 1950, the trustees of Cornell University approved a plan designed to utilize the staff and facilities of the Sloan-Kettering Institute for instruction leading to advanced degrees under the Graduate Faculty of the University. Since the Cornell University Medical College and the Sloan-Kettering Institute were already closely associated, arrangements have been carried forward which make possible a cooperative plan for graduate work. By action of the trustees in January, 1952, the Graduate School of Medical Sciences was established, which, with the approval of the Graduate Faculty of Cornell University, “shall have full responsibil ity for advanced and professional degrees granted for study in residence at the New York City campus of Cornell University.”

FACILITIES

THE MEDICAL COLLEGE... The five buildings of the College ex tending along York Avenue from Sixty-eighth to Seventieth Streets con tain the classrooms, student laboratories, library, and research facilities for undergraduate medical teaching and for students doing graduate work. The regular course of instruction to medical students is conducted for the most part on the second and third floors of the Medical College.

Students in the Graduate School carry on their work on all floors of the College building. They are not only eligible to take any of the subjects with the regular medical students, but in most instances certain of these courses are required of the candidate for an advanced degree.

THE SLOAN-KETTERING INSTITUTE... The Memorial Center for Cancer and Allied Diseases comprises the city block between York and First Avenues from Sixty-seventh to Sixty-eighth Street. In the center of the group of buildings on the Sixty-eighth Street side is located the Sloan-Kettering Institute, a thirteen story structure, devoted pri marily to research work pertaining to cancer and allied conditions. Ample opportunities for advanced training are offered in the Institute by reason of its special facilities and its staff of experienced investigators. On the several floors of the building are located laboratories and mod ern equipment for studies in bacteriology, biochemistry, biophysics, cell physiology, experimental cancer chemotherapy, experimental path ology, immunochemistry, pharmacology, radiation biology, steroid metabolism, and virology.

It is the purpose of the Graduate School to offer facilities for ad

vanced study and research so that students may obtain a comprehensive

view of a field of knowledge and receive the training required for inde

pendent investigation in that field. In providing this opportunity, the

School makes it possible for the students to associate freely with mature

scholars who will give them such aid and direction as they may need.

Accomplishment is judged primarily by the evidence of growing respon

sibility for the advancement of knowledge and not by fulfillment of

routine requirements or by courses and credits. The Faculty of the

School requires of all candidates for advanced degrees a period of study

in residence, the mastery of some one subject, an adequate acquaintance

with allied subjects, the passing of a final examination, and the presenta

tion of a satisfactory thesis.

UALIFIED students will be accepted in the Graduate School of Medical Sciences for work leading to the M.S. or Ph.D. degree and will carry out their program of study under the supervision

of Faculty members who hold the rank of professor, associate professor,

or assistant professor on the teaching staffs of Cornell University Med

ical College and the Sloan-Kettering Institute.

PURPOSE AND NATURE OF THE

GRADUATE SCHOOL

G e n e r a l

The training is designed to develop respect for truth and independent

responsibility for achieving it. Insofar as accepted procedures for ad

vanced study admit, the program of each candidate is individual and is

planned to utilize all relevant resources of the two components of the

Graduate School of Medical Sciences. Separate fields of instruction,

however, are listed on pages 18 to 21 of this Announcement for the

purpose of indicating administrative divisions and the major areas for

advanced study.

The statements contained in this Announcement are intended to be

mainly descriptive rather than regulatory. The regulations governing

programs for advanced degrees are published by the Graduate Faculty

in a pamphlet entitled Code of Legislation, which is available for con

sultation in the Administration Office of the Medical College.

ADMISSION

To be admitted to the Graduate School of Medical Sciences, an ap

plicant (1) must hold a baccalaureate degree from a college or univer

sity of recognized standing, or have done work equivalent to that re

quired for such a degree; (2) must show promise of ability to pursue

advanced study and research as judged by his previous scholastic record

or otherwise; and (3) must have had adequate preparation to enter upon

graduate study in the field chosen.

In most instances the number of candidates that can be accommo

dated in the different fields of study in the Graduate School of Medical

Sciences is relatively small because of the specialized character of the

work and limitations of facilities. A student desiring to be considered

for work in the Graduate School should, therefore, first decide on the

field of his primary interest and then consult the professor in charge of

this subject. If encouraged to proceed, the student may then submit his

application and other credentials. An application for admission should be made on a special form for that purpose, which may be obtained from the office of the Graduate

School of Medical Sciences, 1300 York Avenue, New York 21, N.Y. No

application will be acted upon until all the credentials enumerated in this form have been filed. A student is not admitted to the Graduate School until a formal

notice of acceptance has been issued by the Associate Dean of the Grad

uate School of Medical Sciences of Cornell University. If the candidate

is accepted with conditions, these will be recorded in the notice of ad

mission.

CREDENTIALS

Graduates of American colleges and scientific schools approved by the district association, or the American Association of Universities, who

hold a baccalaureate degree and who give other evidence of promise and

ability to pursue graduate study are eligible to make application for

admission. For those who have studied in a foreign university where the

degree is not given, documentary evidence will be required that the

training completed is the equivalent of the degree.

The candidate seeking admission to the Graduate School of Medical

Sciences is required to have submitted an official transcript of record

covering all work taken previously, including any graduate studies as

well as the undergraduate courses. In evaluating the acceptability of an

applicant, it will be helpful to have two supporting letters sent directly

to the office of the Graduate School of Medical Sciences from persons intimately acquainted with the applicant and qualified to judge his

capacity to do graduate work. Likewise, scores made in the Graduate

Record Examination, although not required, will prove helpful in de termining the acceptability of the applicant. The Graduate Record

Examination is administered four times each year throughout the Unit

ed States and Canada. It does not require any special preparation and

may be taken upon application and the payment of moderate fees. In

quiries about the examination and applications for taking it should be

addressed to the Educational Testing Service, P.O. Box 592, 20 Nassau

St., Princeton, N.J.

For students planning to take up graduate work at the beginning of

the academic year in September, the application and all supporting

data should be in the office of the Graduate School at the Medical Col

lege not later than March first.

REGISTRATION

Students taking work in the Graduate School leading to, or in con

templation of, an advanced degree must register in the Administration

Office of the Medical College at the beginning of each academic year.

It is expected that students matriculated in the Graduate School of

Medical Sciences will continue for the full academic year. In the

event, however, that circumstances require attendance for less than a

year, special arrangements may be made for registering for one se

mester. A graduate student who has completed the requirements of

residence for his degree and who remains in residence while working on

his thesis or while doing other work in contemplation of a degree must

register each term in which he is thus engaged.

A graduate student who discontinues his work for any reason during

a term in which he is registered should immediately report this fact to

the Associate Dean in order to obtain an official withdrawal or an hon

orable dismissal.

MAJOR AND MINOR SUBJECTS

The curriculum of a candidate for the degree of M.S. is one major

and one minor subject; of a candidate for the degree of Ph.D., one major

and two minor subjects. No variation in the number of subjects is allow

able. Approved subjects are listed below as separate fields of instruc

tion, where some information is given about them. Specific requirements

for each subject are fixed by the member of the Faculty who represents

the subject on the candidate’s Special Committee; he requires whatever

in his judgment is necessary to train the candidate, including registra

tion for courses and seminars and supervised or independent study.

Therefore, the program of one candidate bears no necessary relation to

the program of another candidate registered for the same subject. The

Faculty believes that candidates with major subjects in applied fields

usually should elect minor subjects in basic fields.

In the Sloan-Kettering Institute there are no formal courses offered for graduate students. Candidates whose primary interest centers in this part of the Graduate School of Medical Sciences will find it profitable in most instances to elect as a minor subject part of the regular curricu lum of the medical course.

SPECIAL COMMITTEES

Special Committees are the means for directing individual candidates in the attainment of the scholarly independence implicit in advanced degrees. While a candidate is choosing his major and minor subjects, he selects eligible members of the Faculty to represent each subject and to serve as his Special Committee. The representative of the major subject is chairman. Any professor, associate professor, or assistant professor is eligible to serve on these committees. The members selected indicate their willingness to serve by signing the record of major and minor subjects, which is filed with the Associate Dean. A candidate may change the membership of his Special Committee with the approval of all the members of the newly constituted Commit tee and of the Associate Dean. Members of the Special Committee not only instruct or supervise the instruction of a candidate but also certify whether his progress is satis factory or unsatisfactory, conduct Qualifying and Final Examinations, and approve the thesis. Although they are the candidate’s advisers, he alone is responsible for meeting the requirements of the Graduate School. GRADES

Credit for graduate work is given only when the candidate maintains a satisfactory standard of performance in both his major and his minor

fields of study. Professors having charge of the work of graduate students are required to report to the Associate Dean of the Graduate School of Medical Sciences at the end of each semester, or at the close of each academic year, grade ratings on all students taking work under their direction. These grade reports are given in the following terms: A (93- 100%), B (84-93%), C (75-83%) for passable performance, and F for all work of an unacceptable standard. Students whose grade average falls below a B may be separated from the Graduate School program.

RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS

The Faculty regards study in residence as essential. Although requisite depth results from intensive study of a major subject and properly re lated minor subjects, candidates for an advanced degree should avoid overspecialization. Consequently, the Graduate Faculty requires of each candidate for a Master’s degree a minimum of two residence units and for the doctorate, a minimum of six residence units. One residence unit represents one academic term of full-time study reported by the Special Committee as satisfactorily completed. The fractions of a unit counted toward this requirement, three-fourths, one-half, two-fifths, are granted for (1) study while assisting or instructing in the academic program of the Uni versity; (2) study while employed in nonacademic work; (3) study which is reported by the Special Committee as only partially satisfactory. Eligi bility to receive residence units and fractions of units is determined by regulations of the Graduate Faculty.

TRANSFER OF RESIDENCE ... Since no degree is granted unless the candidate has studied in residence for at least two semesters, no resi dence unit or fraction is granted in fulfillment of the requirements for a Master’s degree for study outside this Graduate School. For study in another recognized graduate school while in candidacy for an advanced degree, up to three units may be accepted in fulfillment of doctoral re quirements by special action of the Associate Dean. No commitment may be made for acceptance of previous study in another graduate

school in lieu of required residence until after the candidate has entered

into study in residence in the Graduate School. Then the residence units

recommended by the Special Committee on the basis of a transcript of

record may not exceed those that would be earned under similar cir

cumstances at Cornell. Study as a candidate or as a special student in

an undergraduate college is not acceptable, even though the courses may

be designed for graduate students. A candidate for the degree of Ph.D.

must complete two of the last four units in successive terms of study at

the Graduate School of Medical Sciences.

Each candidate for an advanced degree is expected to complete his

study in residence with reasonable continuity. Under any circumstances,

a candidate who fails to register during any period of four or more years

is dropped from candidacy and may be readmitted only after his Special

Committee has stipulated the amount of additional residence to be

required. No more than ten years may intervene between the time of

first registration and the completion of all requirements for a degree.

LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS

FOR THE MASTER’S DEGREE... Students taking major work for a Master’s degree are required to have obtained a reading knowledge of a foreign language. If the candidate’s transcript of record indicates that he has passed three college entrance units in one language or two units in each of two languages, he has met the requirements. He must, how ever, demonstrate to the Language Committee proficiency in one lan guage. A candidate who does not demonstrate proficiency within one month of first registration will be required to complete a minimum of three residence units for the degree and must demonstrate proficiency before beginning the third residence unit. Any Special Committee may, in its discretion, require knowledge of foreign language beyond the an nounced requirements.

FOR THE DEGREE OF PH.D.... Every candidate must demonstrate his ability to read French and German or substitutes approved by the Special Committee. The examination in at least one foreign language must be passed immediately upon admission to candidacy; otherwise, a minimum of seven residence units is required. The extra unit may be waived by the Special Committee if preparation in foreign language is made during a period when the candidate is not receiving residence units. The second language examination should be taken as soon as possible after admission to candidacy. Until it is passed, no residence units beyond four will be allowed. Examinations passed within one month after registration are considered as being passed at the time of registration.

Foreign students may, under regulation, offer English as one foreign

language.

Three oral or oral and written examinations are required by the Graduate Faculty: (1) a Final Examination for the Master’s degree; (2) a Qualifying Examination for the degree of Ph.D.; (3) a Final Examina tion for the degree of Ph.D. Under certain regulations (1) and (2) may be combined. Although other members of the Faculty may be invited to examine the candidate, the Special Committee alone decides whether he

has passed or failed. The Qualifying Examination has the double pur pose of determining the ability of the candidate to pursue doctoral studies and of allowing the Special Committee and candidate to plan together a satisfactory program for completion of candidacy. The Qualifying Examination should be taken as early as possible; at all events, the candidate must complete at least three units of residence after passing it. The Final Examination for the doctorate is given in two parts. The first part is on the major and minor subjects (Exam. A) and may be given as much as two terms before the second part on the thesis and related material (Exam. B). Final Examinations are sched uled by the Associate Dean and are announced to the Graduate Faculty so that any member may attend who wishes to do so. The Special Committee may require any examination which it deems desirable in addition to the three noted above.

ESSAYS AND THESES

Programs in candidacy for the Master’s degree are intended to be indi vidually planned and may range widely in content and method. Depend ing upon the desires and needs of the candidate and the discretion of the Special Committee, they may be composed largely of courses in broad or restricted fields or of informal study under guidance; they may be designed to terminate formal education or to prepare for further advanced study; they may center in a single problem or investi gation, or the thesis or essay may be secondary. But at least five days before the Final Examination, the candidate must submit an essay or thesis, approved by all members of his Special Committee, which is acceptable to the Graduate Faculty in both scholarship and literary quality. A candidate for the doctorate must present a thesis, approved by all members of the Special Committee, which is acceptable to the Graduate Faculty in both scholarship and literary quality and which demonstrates the candidate’s respect for truth and independent responsibility for achieving it. Ordinarily, but not necessarily, the thesis is written in the

candidate’s major field and under the direction of the chairman of his

Special Committee. As one of the principal aims of the Graduate Faculty

is to have theses given the widest possible circulation and criticism,

attempts to curtail or otherwise restrict their circulation will not receive approval.

NONCANDIDATES

Wherever staff and facilities are available, students may be admitted

as noncandidates and register for such formal or informal instruction

as they are adequately prepared to undertake. The work of such a

noncandidate is under the supervision of an adviser selected by the

student and approved by the Associate Dean. He is subject to the

general regulations of the Graduate Faculty.

An applicant for admission as candidate for an advanced degree may be advised by the Associate Dean to enter as a noncandidate because his record or statement of training and intentions does not clearly indicate his ability to pursue study in candidacy. In such instances the non candidate may reapply for admission to candidacy after a period of study not exceeding two semesters. If he is admitted into candidacy, he is not allowed to transfer in fulfillment of residence requirements more than one semester of study.

T U ITIO N AND O THER FEES

GENERAL REGULATION... Tuition and other fees become due when the student registers. Any student who fails to pay his tuition charges, other fees, and indebtedness at the Business Office or who, if entitled to free tuition, fails to claim it at the Business Office and to pay his other fees is thereby dropped from the Graduate School unless the Assistant Treasurer has granted him an extension of time to complete payment. The Assistant Treasurer is permitted to grant such an exten sion when, in his judgment, the circumstances of a particular case war rant his doing so. A reinstatement fee of $5 is assessed against any stu dent who is permitted to continue or return to his studies after being dropped for default in payments. The assessment may be waived in any instance for reasons satisfactory to the Assistant Treasurer and the As sociate Dean, when such reasons are set forth in a written statement. A tuition fee or other fee may be changed by the trustees at any time without previous notice.

MA TRICULA TION FEE... A student who has not previously matric ulated at Cornell University or in the Medical College is required to pay a matriculation fee of $15.

GRADUATION FEE... A graduation fee of $10 is required of every candidate for an advanced degree. The fee will be returned if the degree is not conferred.

TUITION FEE... A tuition fee of $700 an academic year ($350 a semester) is to be paid by all students registered in the Graduate School of Medical Sciences. This charge is payable at the beginning of the aca demic year, or in two equal parts at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Certain classes of students are exempt from the payment of tuition fee.

pointments as fellows or graduate scholars, and to holders of certain temporary fellowships and scholarships.

2. In addition to students exempt under the charter of the University

from the payment of tuition, the following persons, to the extent herein

mentioned, are also exempt from payment of fees.

Upon recommendation by the appropriate college dean and by action

of the Board of Trustees, for each appointment, waiver of tuition in

the Graduate School may be made to a member of the teaching or scien tific staff subject to these limitations:

(a) if the salary for the academic year is not greater than $1,600, the tuition fee may be waived entirely; (b) if the salary is greater than $1,600, but not greater than $1,700, 25 per cent of the tuition will be charged and 75 per cent will be

waived;

(c) if the salary is greater than $1,700, but not greater than $1,800,

50 per cent of the tuition will be charged and the balance waived;

(d) if the salary is greater than $1,800, but not greater than $1,900, 75 per cent of the tuition will be charged and the balance waived; (e) if the salary is greater than $1,900, no waiver will be made. (The word salary means total pay, that is, base pay plus any bonus.)

A graduate student who returns to the Graduate School of Medical

Sciences to present his thesis and to take the final examination for an

advanced degree, all other work for the degree having been previously

completed, shall register as a “candidate for degree only” and shall pay

only an administration fee of $27.

FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS

The holder of a fellowship or a scholarship must devote his whole

time to his studies, except that he may be called upon to assist in instruc

tion up to a maximum of six clock-hours a week and for such assistance

may receive extra compensation. He may not accept any other appoint ment.

The stipends of fellowships and scholarships are payable at the

business office of the Medical College in eight or twelve equal install

ments, at the option of the holder thereof, with the first payment due

October 15 and the other payments due on the fifteenth of each suc

ceeding month.
