(20) A letter from the Clerk of the Senate as to changes in the entrance requirements of the University: June 15, 1917 Dr. Edmund J. James, President

DEAR M R . PRESIDENT:

The University Senate, at its meeting of June 4, 1917, voted to recommend to the Board of Trustees the adoption of the following changes in the entrance requirements of the University: (1) That physiography be included with the other high-school laboratory sciences in List A ; (2) That the language requirement be made the same for the curriculums in chemistry and chemical engineering—German or French for both; (3) That physics be made an entrance requirement for the curriculums in household science; (4) That advanced algebra, 18 or 36 w e e k s — ^ to 1 unit—be included in List B in place of advanced algebra, 18 weeks—TA unit. The object of the changes proposed in paragraphs ( 1 ) , ( 2 ) , and (4) above is to make the present requirements somewhat more flexible, in view of the fact that conditions are no longer permitted. The proposal in the third paragraph is simply to make explicit the fact that physics is required for the household science curriculums. It has actually been a requirement for a number of years, since it is a prerequisite for the course known as Household Science 1, which is a prescribed course in the first year of both the household science curriculums. Sincerely yours,

G M. MCCONN

Clerk of the

Senate

On motion of Mr. Carr, these recommendations were approved.
