112 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [February 9 concurrence of their parents, they express it to be their purpose to enter the University at the opening of the semester and to remain at least one year. Application blanks for recommendation can be obtained by addressing the Secretary of the Illinois F a r m e r s ' Institute, Springfield, Illinois. 4. Awarding of Scholarships: T h e first nominee from each county, if found to be duly qualified, will be awarded the scholarship at the time of registration. The scholarship becomes void unless the nominee registers in the University for the proper curriculum at the opening of the semester or summer session when the scholarship becomes effective. 5. Period of Scholarship: An Agriculture or Home Economics scholarship is good for four years, but the nominee's right to its continuance for each succeeding year after the first is subject to his having achieved an average of 3.5 in his work in the University during the previous year. 6. Perquisites of Scholarship: T h e perquisites of these scholarships are exemption from all matriculation, incidental, and tuition fees during the period of the scholarship, except fees for the purchase of laboratory supplies and similar fees for supplies and materials. 7. Removal from State of Holders of Scholarships: These scholarships are awarded only to students whose legal residence is in the State of Illinois. If the legal residence of the holder of a scholarship is changed from Illinois to some other State, his scholarship is thereby forfeited. On motion of Mr. Karraker, the revised regulations were adopted, and the special committee was requested to continue its consideration of the matter of scholarships and fees. PROPOSED LEGISLATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY SCHOLARSHIPS (8) A statement concerning a bill for an Act, introduced in the Fifty-Ninth General Assembly, to amend the law in relation to General Assembly Scholarships by providing for additional scholarships beginning in the years 1935-36 and 1936-37. On motion of Mr. Trees, this matter was referred to the Committee on General Policy, for study and recommendation to the Board. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION A N D FOR TRANSFER TO PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS (9) A recommendation that the following be authorized as official statements of the requirements for the bachelor's degree and for transfer of registration from the undergraduate colleges to any of the professional schools: "Each candidate for a bachelor's degree must meet the general requirements of the University with respect to registration, residence, military science, hygiene, and physical education; must pass in the subjects marked prescribed in his curriculum ; must conform to the directions of that curriculum in regard to electives and the total number of hours required for graduation; and must meet the minimum scholarship requirements which the University has approved for his college or school." "An undergraduate student will not be permitted to transfer his registration to any of the professional schools while his record shows a deficiency in any of the subjects which, as general requirements of the University, are a part of his curriculum." These do not involve any changes in the requirements for graduation, but it is desirable to have an official statement of policy covering these matters. On motion of Mr. Barr, these regulations were adopted.
