BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[January 20

MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD

The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University.

ADMISSION TO S C H O O L OF JOURNALISM (1) For admission to the School of Journalism as a candidate for a degree an applicant must be able to matriculate in the University and must have had in addition 60 semester hours (the equivalent of two years) of undergraduate college work. There is no grade requirement. T h e University Senate recommends that the requirement for admission be changed to "60 semester hours of undergraduate work with a C average in an established curriculum of an undergraduate college," this to become effective September I, 1938.

On motion of Mr. Pogue, this requirement was adopted as recommended.

ADMISSION TO COURSES IN CHEMISTRY (2) On July 16, 1937 (Minutes, page 305), the Board adopted a recommendation from the Senate Committee on Educational Policy (later confirmed by the University Senate) that with certain exceptions registration in courses in chemistry above the freshman year be restricted to students having a certain scholastic average in all previous University courses. This restriction was applied only to the first semester of 1937-1938 pending further study. T h e Department of Chemistry, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the University Senate have given further consideration to this matter and the Senate now recommends that the requirement be continued for the second semester of 1937-1938.
