1927] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 277 CIVIL E N G I N E E R I N G Drop C. E. 70, Seminar, 1 hour, from all options. Increase the credit in one course in each option as follows: General Option: Technical Elective, increase from 2 hours to 3 hours. Structural Option: C. E. 92, Statically Indeterminate Structures, increase from 2 hours to 3 hours and change number to C. E. 64. Highway Option: C. E. 93, Highway Design, increase from 3 hours to 4 hours and change number to C. E. 55. Hydraulic Option: C. E. 74, Water Power Engineering, increase from 2 hours to 3 hours and change number to C. E. 79. Sanitary Option: C. E. 86, Sewage Treatment, increase from 2 hours to 3 hours and change number to C. E. 89. Dean Ketchum states that with the large number of senior students in Civil Engineering it has become difficult and unsatisfactory to administer C. E. 70. The work formerly covered in this course will be covered by adding one hour to the courses as above outlined. The changes will not increase the number of hours on instruction and will add efficiency to the instruction without added expense. GENERAL ENGINEERING Add C. E. 60, Structural Stresses, 4 hours, as a required course in the second semester of the junior year. This subject will take the place of Language, 4 hours. Business Law 3 to be continued as a requirement for graduation but to be taken in either the junior or senior year instead of required in the junor year as at present. Dean Ketchum states that the time given to Structural Design in C. E. 88 and C. E. 90 in the senior year is inadequate and it is desired to add C. E. 60 to the requirements in order to give a more effective course in Structural Design. This report w a s received for record.
