BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[February 18,

No quantitative conditions are permitted. In other words, every student must offer at the time of admission 15 units in acceptable subjects. These must include the 6 units prescribed for all the Undergraduate Colleges (List A). It is provided, however, that a student who offers 15 acceptable units including the 6 units of List A, but is deficient with respect to laboratory work, or a student who is deficient not to exceed 2 units in subjects prescribed only for the college or curriculum which he wishes to enter may be admitted in that college or curriculum to courses for which he is fully prepared, subject to the requirement that the deficiencies in question shall be removed before he may register for a second year's work.

On motion of Mr Hoit, this recommendation was adopted.

CURRICULUM IN G E N E R A L E N G I N E E R I N G The following statement: The University Senate at its meeting of February 14, 1921, voted to recommend to the Board of Trustees the approval of a new curriculum in General Engineering, which is described as follows by Dean Richards: "This curriculum represents a new grouping of subjects which are already taught in the University, and is designed to train men in the broad fundamental principles of the engineering industries. Naturally, with such a grouping of subjects no effort has been made to provide for highly specialized work in any one of the Departments in Engineering. The basic principles, however, are required. Incidentally, the curriculum makes it possible for a student enrolled in this curriculum to acquire a good knowledge of a foreign language as a preparation for engineering work in a foreign country. " T h e prescribed work of the curriculum includes 21 hours of mathematics, 20 hours of physics and chemistry, 16 hours of language or approved electives, 20 hours of economics, and 53 hours of engineering." I ask that the President of the University be authorized to approve this curriculum. (6)

On motion of Mrs. Evans, this authority was granted.
