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 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. TUITION AND OTHER 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.
