Abstract :
To assist in the conduct of engineering research and to extend and strengthen the field of its graduate work in engineering, the University of Illinois maintains fourteen Research Graduate Assistantships in the Engineering Experiment Station. Two other such assistantships have been established under the patronage of the Illinois Gas Association. These assistantships, for each of which there is an annual stipend of $600 and freedom from all fees except for matriculation and diploma, are open to graduates of approved American and foreign universities and technical schools who are prepared to undertake graduate study in engineering, physics, or applied chemistry. Appointment is made and must be accepted for two consecutive collegiate years of ten months each, when, if all requirements have been met, the degree of Master of Science will be conferred. Half of the time is required in connection with the work of the department to which he is assigned, the remainder being available for graduate study.
