ENTRANCE DEFICIENCIES (4) The University Senate recommends that beginning September 1, 1923, each student must meet in full the requirements for admission to the curriculum in which he desires to enroll, with the exception that the present practise of admission with a deficiency in laboratory science be continued. It further recommends that beginning at the same date an applicant for admission be allowed to count toward the required 15 units as many as five units in commercial and vocational subjects (the present maximum is 3 units) with the provision that the units presented in such subjects in excess of three shall be considered an entrance deficiency to be removed by the presentation of additional work in the usual academic subjects (language, mathematics, social sciences, science) before he begins his second year at the University.

On motion of Mr. Blair, these recommendations were approved.

PURCHASE OF RESIDENCE OF PROFESSOR JOEL STEBBINS (8) At your last meeting you gave me authority to negotiate for the purchase of the residence of Professor Joel Stebbins. The Comptroller reports to me that on April 1 he received from Judge Harker a contract for the purchase of this property for the sum of #11,500, payable on or before April 20, 1922, and possession to be given on or before July 1, 1922. The Comptroller reports that he executed this contract and secured the signature and seal of the Secretary of the Board, and that Professor Stebbins has executed the deed to the property and delivered it in escrow. I ask approval of this procedure and recommend that the sum of #11,500 be appropriated from the Reserve and Contingent fund to pay for this property.
