852 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 15, RESIGNATION OF MR. L E W R. SARETT, AND PETITION OF STUDENTS (16) A letter addressed to the President of the Board, from Mr. Robert P. Shonkwiler, a letter from four students representing the student organizations, and a petition forwarded by Mr. W. I. Boutwell, of the Illini, containing several hundred names, all expressing the desire that Mr. Lew Sarett be retained at the Universitly, or brought back as early as may be. The expressions of affection and regard for Mr. Sarett from students of the University have been numerous and strong. I sympathize with the students' point of view, and their desire to have Mr. Sarett continued on our staff. Nevertheless, for reasons which I have explained to some of the students, and which Mr. Sarett and others concerned fully understand and appreciate, the way is not clear at present for us to take the steps requested. It is my hope, as it is that of the students, that at a not too distant day we may see Mr. Sarrett's name again on our faculty list. This statement was received for record. RULES FOR ACCOUNTANCY E X A M I N A T I O N CHANGED (17) A recommendation from the University Committee on Accountancy that Rule 33 governing the C. P. A. examinations be amended to read as follows: 33. A candidate who passes in Theory of Accounts, Practical Accounting, and one of the other required subjects and who presents himself at another examination held by the University within one year may have the option at that examination of (1) writing anew on all four subjects or (2) being credited for the subjects he has passed in the previous examination with the grades made in that examination and writing only on the one subject in which he previously failed. A candidate who, having chosen the second of these options, fails again in that subject will be required, in case he subsequently appears for examination, to write on all four of the prescribed subjects. This recommendation was approved. C. P. A. CERTIFICATES GRANTED (18) A report that on recommendation of the University Committee on Accountancy C. P. A. certificates have been issued to Mr. Bryon B. Price and Mr. John Willard Anderson. This report was received for record. SHARPLES PRIZE SCHOLARSHIP (19) A letter from Mr. Dale E.
