94 University of Illinois. A record is kept of each student's term work and standing, and from this his final certificate of graduation is made up. A statement of the scholarship and conduct of each student will be sent to his parent or guardian as soon as may be after the end of each term. DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES. The law provides that, "on recommendation of the Faculty, the Trustees may authorize the Regent, as president of the University, to issue diplomas to such persons as shall have completed satisfactorily the required studies, and sustained the examination therein, conferring such Literary and Scientific Degrees as are usually conferred by Universities for similar or equivalent courses of studies, or such as the Trustees may deem appropriate." Approved May 11, 1877. In accordance with the law, the following system of Degrees has been adopted for the University: 1. All studies will remain, as heretofore, free. Each student may choose and pursue such studies as he may desire, subject only to such condition as to preparation, times of study, and number of studies, as may be necessary to secure efficiency in classes and economy in teaching. 2. But students who wish to be candidates for any degree must complete fully the course of studies prescribed for such degree, and must present an accepted thesis. 3. Students not candidates for any degree will be enrolled as special students, and will receive at the close of their attendance, if not less than a year, the certificates provided by law, with statements of work done and credits attained. 4. It is designed that the requirements for all the Bachelor's Degrees shall be. as nearly as possible, equal in amount and value. 5. The Degree of Bachelor of Science, B. S., will be given to those who complete either of the courses of studies in the College of Engineering, Agriculture, or Natural Science. The name of the School will be inserted after the degree. 6. The Degree of Bachelor of Letters, B. L., will be given to those who complete the course of the School of English and Modern Languages.
