The Graduate School.


 One feature of the first grade American Universities that should particularly commend itself to the Indian students is the ample opportunities of post graduate study and research. Graduation in fact is only the beginning of the higher specialized study, Most of the graduate schools are maintained at a very high level of efficiency; their equipment is most up to date and privileges of specialization are within reach of all earnest students.

 The graduate schools offer to college graduates courses leading to the degrees of M. A. and Ph.D., and degrees of corresponding grade in the technical branches.

 "They provide", to quote the U. S. Bulletin, "opportunities for advanced study in the arts and sciences and for research similar to those provided by the leading European Universities."

 Thus the graduates of the Indian Universities will find it highly profitable to spend a couple of years in any of these graduate schools of America.
