Excerpt from Publication of the Clark University Library, Vol. 4: 1914-1915 Clark University was opened October 2, 1889, as a purely graduate institution. The departments originally established were: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology (including Education and Anthropology). Its aim was to admit a limited number of men with the A. B. - or equivalent attainments - who desired to engage in research work in these departments. Until the establishment of Clark College - provided for by the will of the Founder, at his death in 1900 - the only degree conferred by the University, with the exception of the Honorary Degrees conferred upon five eminent foreign scientists at the Tenth Anniversary in 1899, was the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. For this degree at least one academic year's residence is required. Formal acceptance as a candidate must be made not later than the fifteenth of October preceding the year of the final examination, and before November first the candidate must have passed successfully an examination in French and German. The dissertation must be presented to the instructor under whose direction it is written, and reported upon by him before the doctor's examination. In every case the dissertation must be laid before the jury of examination, at the time of examination, in form suitable for publication. The dissertation must be printed at the expense of the candidate and the required copies deposited with the Librarian within one calendar year after the first of October following the examination. The candidate alone is held responsible for the fulfilment of these conditions. The examinations for the doctor's degree may be held at any time during the academic year, provided that at least one academic year has elapsed since the completion of the preliminaries of candidature, except in the case of fulfilment of these conditions between the beginning of any academic year and November first of that year.
