UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, UBBANA, I I I . , May 2, 1905.

Hon. W. H. Stead, Attorney General, Springfield, III. SIR—"The Act to regulate the profession of public accountants" provides: "That any citizen of the United States * * * being a graduate of a high school with a four year course, or having had an equivalent education, and who shall.have received from the University of Illinois a certificate * * * shall be styled and known as a 'certified public accountant'," etc. Sess. L. 111., 1903, p. 281, Sec. 1. "The University of Illinois shall determine the qualifications of persons applying for certificates under this Act," etc. Sec. 2, ibid. The university has refused to admit to the examination persons who have neither graduated from a high school with a four-year course nor, in its judgment, had an equivalent education, independently of the technical training needed to pass the examination in "theory of accounts," "practical accounting," auditing" and "commercial law."
