BOARD OF TRUSTEES MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT

[April I I CHASE

The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University.

ADMISSION TO COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY (i) The University Senate recommends that, effective September i, 1933, the requirements for admission to the College of Dentistry be changed to read as follows: Semester Hours Chemistry (including organic chemistry, 4 semester hours) 12 Biology , 6 Physics 6 English 6 Electives (exclusive of military, hygiene, and physical education). 30 Total 60

On motion of Dr. Meyer, this recommendation was adopted.

CHANGE IN R E Q U I R E M E N T S IN PHYSICAL. E D U C A T I O N (2) The following recommendations from the University Senate: 1. That the present regulations requiring four semesters of training in Physical Education be modified by permitting students to gain credit in this subject by means of proficiency examinations. 2. That such examinations be given at the end of each semester and that they be so designed and administered as to result in a reduction each semester in the number enrolled in Physical Education equal to about one-fourth of the total number of students in the class until, a t the end of their fourth semester in college, all of the members of any class who have done satisfactory work will have completed the requirements either by passing the regular courses or the proficiency examinations. 3. T h a t an opportunity be given for students to complete all of the requirements in Physical Education by passing proficiency examinations given early in their first semester in college. The Senate has repealed the regulation adopted by it on June 1, 1925, requiring additional work in physical education for students excused from military training on account of their physical defect. It is understood that under these recommendations men students, except those assigned to corrective sections, will report for two one-hour periods each week and women students for three one-hour periods as at present. Men who are assigned to corrective sections will, in general, report for three one-hour periods per week instead of five as at present but, with the consent of any student affected, the number of periods for corrective work for individual students may be increased to either four or five per week if this arrangement seems desirable to secure the best results.

On motion of Mr. Blair, these recommendations were adopted.
