and offers suggestions and advice on such matters as the preparation and
reproduction of illustrative materials, the treatment of special problems, the
use of copyrighted material, and how to secure copyright for a dissertation.
The following procedures apply to the Graduate School's editorial services
to students:
 1. The responsibility for acceptable English in a thesis or dissertation lies
 principally with the student and his supervisory committee.
 2. The Graduate School staff acts in an advisory capacity. It informs the
 student concerning acceptable form, not content. The staff spot-checks
 each dissertation for format, proper footnote form, pagination, and
 general mechanics.
 3. The Graduate School staff will advise a student concerning proper
 grammar, sentence structure, and correct word usage only to the extent
 of correcting a few pages.
 4. If the student will bring his rough draft to the editorial office of the
 Graduate School, the staff will examine a limited portion and make
 recommendations concerning the form of the thesis or dissertation be-
 fore it is put into final form.
