[May 27

tuition fee for residents of Illinois be $150.00 a year (payable $75-CO each semester) and $225.00 a year for non-residents of Illinois (payable $112.50 each semester), and that the laboratory fees applicable to each year be added to the tuition fee. T h e Committee on General Policy recommends that this revised scale be established, effective September I, 1936, applicable to all new students entering the College of Medicine that year and in subsequent years with the provision that the present scale of fees shall apply to all students now registered in the College of Medicine until their graduation. 2. College of Dentistry Tuition Fee The President of the University presented to the Committee recommendations from the Dean of the College of Dentistry and the Faculty Committee on Fees and Scholarships concerning changes in the tuition fee in the College of Dentistry. The Faculty Committee has recommended that the same principle be followed in the College of Dentistry as in the College of Medicine, that is, a basic fee of $150.00 a year (payable $75.00 each semester) for residents of Illinois and $225.00 a year (payable $112.50 each semester) for non-residents of Illinois, plus laboratory fees applicable to each year. T h e Committee on General Policy concurs in the principle of this recommendation but referred the proposal back to the Dean of the College of Dentistry for further consideration of the amount of the basic tuition fee, and the total laboratory fees. 3. College of Medicine Dispensary Fee The President of the University presented reports from the Dean of the College of Medicine and the Superintendent of the Dispensary of the greatly increased demands upon the Dispensary for service, the need for additional staff, and the desirability of a program of social service. T h e present demands upon the Dispensary require a revision of the fees or service charges to provide the necessary revenue to meet these demands. At present new patients pay 25 cents with no charge for return visits. The Committee considered various proposals for changes including ( a ) an increase in the fee to 50 cents for the first visit with no charge for subsequent visits, and (b) an initial fee of 35 cents with a 10 cent charge for each return visit. It is the Committee's recommendation that the admission fee be fixed at 40 cents with no charge for return visits and that this charge become effective June 1, 1936. The Committee recommends that it be discharged from further consideration of the above matters. Respectfully submitted, T H E C O M M I T T E E O N G E N E R A L POLICY
