I960] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 95 When television is used for other than resident students, and credit is being given: a. The course must be one which is offered in residence. b. The course must be prepared and presented by the appropriate resident department. e. Credits earned in such courses can not be counted as resident credits. Candidates for certain degrees may, however, in accordance with the present practice respecting extramural courses, apply up to sixty undergraduate semester hours toward the baccalaureate degree or four units toward the master's degree for credits earned in the television and other extramural programs, provided all other University requirements have been met and necessary approval is secured for courses pursued from the college or school in which the degree is to be taken, d. Admission and registration will be in accordance with appropriate University regulations. When television is used for other than resident students, and credit is not being given, admission and registration will be in accordance with appropriate University regulations, such as those of the Division of University Extension for extramural classes. This policy is to be effective September 1, 1960, but shall be reviewed annually by the Educational Policy Committee of the Urbana-Champaign Senate. I recommend approval of this policy. On motion of Mr. Herrick, this recommendation was approved. DISCONTINUANCE O F MOUNT MORRIS EXPERIMENT FIELD (7) The Dean of the College of Agriculture and Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station recommends that the Mount Morris Experiment Field be discontinued. This field of approximately twenty acres has been in use since 1910, and the Department of Agronomy feels that it has secured all the information it can from the field. The soil is similar to a nearby field in Lee County, which will be continued. Also, a new 160-aere research center has been established in the northern part of the state at the former Joliet Arsenal, which was obtained as surplus property from the federal government, and the time, effort, and money now expended at Mount Morris can more profitably be used at the new research center. The legal description of the field is as follows: Part of the North ^ of the Northwest (4 of Section 35, in Township 24 North, Range 9 East of the 4th P.M., desenhed as follows: Commencing at a point on the North line of said Section, 12^ chains West of the Northeast comer of the Northwest >4 of said Section and running thence West on the Section line 15 chains, thence South 13V$ chains, thence East parallel to the Section line 15 chains, thence North 131/5 chains to the place of beginning, containing 20 acres, more or less in Ogle County, Illinois. The land was given to the University and the deed conveying the property contains the following statement: It is hereby agreed and understood that this land is deeded to the University to be used as a state experimental station. And it is further understood and agreed if the use of this tract of land for the purpose stated should be discontinued for the term of two years the University of Illinois shall deed the North half of said land to the Village of Mount Morris, Illinois, and the South half of said tract to Mount Morris College Co. This deed is accepted upon these conditions and terms. The village of Mount Morris, Illinois, has requested that the University deed we north half of the field to it and has indicated that it will accept a quit claim oetd to the property. Mount Morris College is no longer in existence, and the Legal Counsel has tot yet been able to determine whether "Mt. Morris College Co," or any successor to it has any rights in the property. A recommendation concerning the disposition « the south half of the field wtil be submitted at a later date. The Vice-President and Comptroller and the Legal Counsel join in these tKommendations and in the adoption of the following resolution, and I concur.
