On motion of Mr. Moschel, this curriculum was approved as recommended.

Note: In the operation of the foregoing rule, a major course with an 'A' or 'B' grade shall be considered as counter-balancing one of 'D' or lower. "A small committee of the Junior Faculty shall be appointed by the Dean for ( a ) the consideration of the cases of all students who come under the rules for the dismissal for poor scholarship, and (b) the consideration of the readmission of students, and (c) the consideration of the conduct of the Second-Year Comprehensive Examinations. T h e findings of this Committee shall be presented to the Dean for action by the Junior Faculty."

On motion of Mr. Mayer, these regulations were adopted as recommended.
