The faculty of the College of Law may, in its discretion, prescribe from time to time subjects which shall be required as part of the preliminary college work, subject to approval by the Senate. A student who is twenty-one years of age and is entitled to admission as a regular student to another college of this University, will be admitted as a special student in the College of Law. If he attains in the course of the first year an average grade of 80 or over, he will be admitted to regular standing, and he may receive the degree of Bachelor of Laws if in all the courses he presents for the degree his average grade is 80 or more. NOTE.—The above is not intended to abrogate the present rule in regard to the admission of special students. Very respectfully yours,
