Excerpt from The Brown Alumni Monthly, Vol. 3: November, 1902 In his first annual report as president of Columbia University, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler advocates some radical changes in the standards of the degrees of bachelor of arts and master of arts. His proposition is this: That the degree Of bachelor of arts be granted after two years Of regular college study and the master's degree after four years of such study. The shortening Of the course leading to the first degree is proposed in order that a collegiate degree may be made a require ment for admission to the professional schools. Throughout his discussion the collegiate degrees are regarded primarily in relationship to professional study rather than as symbols Of a liberal education.
