ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOL WORK

When a high school does so good work in some or all of the subjects required for admission to the University that its graduates are excused from entrance examinations in such subjects, the school is said to be accredited in those subjects. The University employs a high school visitor, whose business it is to inspect the high schools of the State. When his report on a school is favorable, and is approved by the Accredited School Committee and the Faculty, the school is accredited for the subjects which he recommends. The University bears the expense of such inspection, but does not send the visitor to any school whose report does not make it evident that the school is doing work, in quantity and quality, worthy of the time and attention of the University. Between this lower limit and the highest amount of work required for full admission, the University accredits all work which is sufficiently well done. The following schools are, therefore, not accredited for the same amount and kind of work. The specific credits are reported to the propei" authorities when the school is accredited. In all subjects other than those for which his school is accredited, which are required for admission to the department of the University that he desires to enter, the student must pass an examination, or take the work in the Preparatory School of the University.
