DEAR M R . PRESIDENT:

At three successive meetings, on October 6, October 20, and December 1, 1919, the University Senate has considered the conditions under which the University might give credit for the work in religious education which certain religious bodies are proposing to offer in Urbana and Champaign. The standards and conditions for such accrediting upon which the Senate finally agreed, and which, at its meeting of December 1, it voted to recommend to the Board of Trustees for approval, are as follows: Conditions 1. That an incorporated organization representing such a religious body as proposes to provide course in religious education to be offered for credit to University students in Urbana assumes the responsibility for the selection and maintenance of the instructor or instructors and the support and management of the courses, and that such organization possesses and maintains in Champaign or Urbana, a personnel and physical plant edequate to instruction of university grade. 2. That university credit toward graduation of not more than ten semester hours be allowed for such courses. 3. That only students of sophomore standing or above, or special students, be allowed to take such courses. 4. That a student proposing to take such courses for credit if under twenty-one years of age must present to the dean of his college a written permission from his parent or guardian. 5. That students desiring credit for such courses notify the dean of the college at the time of registration, and that the number of hours for which they are registered be reduced so that the total number of hours taken, including those in religious education, shall conform to the University standards. 6. That credit for these courses be granted upon the recommendation of the Committee on Admissions from Higher Institutions. Standards 1. The instructor shall hold the degree of Ph.D. from a university of recognized standing or have an equivalent education acceptable to the University. 2.

Only students enrolled in the University shall be admitted to these classes or such other students as are rated by the Registrar of the University as entitled to university standing equivalent to that indicated in the third paragraph under "Conditions" above. 4. Classes shall conform to university standards as to numbers. 5. Instructors shall not undetake to give more than a maximum of twelve hours of work.
