4. Amend No. 8 by adding: "To be eligible to either scholarship the candidate must be at the time of the recommendation, and must have been for not' less than one year prior thereto, a bona fide resident of the county or district from which he is recommended." A scholarship shall lapse if during the term thereof the holder shall cease to be a resident of Illinois. T h e amendments were adopted. 7. A bill for $205 from the Hotel Beardsley of Champaign for lodging and board for members of the Legislature on the occasion of the visit of said members to inspect the University, February 13, 1905.

A request from the Medical Faculty of the University to know the view of the Board of Trustees upon a recommendation made to the faculty by its Committee on Educational Policy, to the effect that candidates for graduation in the Medical School be required to attend four full years in a medical institution. Such a rule would prevent the medical faculty from admitting students to advanced standing who had done their scientific work in the College of Liberal Arts or Science in connection with universities having no medical departments. I t was voted that the Board would not approve such a recommendation of the medical faculty, and, further, that this and similar questions should be considered in full by the medical faculty and reported to the University Senate for its opinion. 9.
