FEE FOR GRADUATE WORK IN ORTHODONTIA (28) On August 2, 1937 (Minutes, page 472), the Board approved a recommendation from the University Senate that the time of the graduate course known as Orthodontia 101 be extended a minimum of one-half time for an additional semester in the case of candidates for the master's degree. The proposal also included a recommendation that no additional fee be charged for the additional time. However, the Board took no action with respect to the fee. I recommend that no additional fee be charged.

On motion of Mr. Jensen, this recommendation was adopted.
