I9l83 UNIVERSITY "OIF IfXINOIS ^3 No Conditions Permitted No conditions are permitted. Candidates for admission who m June, 3*918, will have completed the above requirements except for a few hours in collegiate subjects should plain Ito make up these deficiencies in full by attendance at summer sessions during the summer of 1918.

A grade from 60 to 70 constitutes a "condition." A mark below 60 or the failure to remove a "condition" by re-examination constitutes a *'failure," and the. subject must be repeated in course. One and one-half hours of condition is counted as the equivalent of one hour failure. A student who in any semester receives failures in one-half the total number of hours of his course, or the equivalent
