308 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [April 27 5. T h e institution of a Swedish curriculum will almost inevitably be followed by the institution of a Norwegian curriculum. The logical organization is a department, or curriculum, of Scandinavian languages. This, however, need not include Danish, for which there is small demand. 6. T h e Swedish National Society recommends t h a t Swedish be recognized as fulfilling t h e graduation requirements in Liberal Arts and Sciences on a par with Spanish and Italian. It is probable that many students who would like t o study Swedish have felt unable t o do so because they could not find room for it in addition to t h e accredited language. If Swedish is to be p u t on an effective basis, it must be accredited in Liberal Arts and Sciences. 7. An important consideration here is the effect which the expansion of the work in Swedish may have on other language groups. The Senate Committee on Educational Policy has recommended t h a t : 1. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences decide between discontinuing the work in Swedish or accepting it as satisfying the graduation requirements. 2. T h e establishment of a Department of Swedish be deferred (in the event instruction in this language is continued) until the registrations justify t h e cost of establishing a separate department. I t should grow organically rather than be created administratively. The Committee on College Policy of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has given careful consideration to the findings and recommendations of the Senate Committee. The College Committee has recommended t h a t : 1. Instruction in Swedish be discontinued. 2. If instruction in Swedish be continued it should be accepted as satisfying the language requirements for graduation. The Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has reviewed these recommendations in consultation with the Head of the Department of English. T h e latter recommends t h a t Swedish be discontinued in the Department of English, leaving it to the University authorities as to whether it should be taught in some other department. T h e Dean recommends that instruction in Swedish be discontinued in view of the small demand for such work, effective September 1, 1939. On motion of Mr. Geary, instruction in Swedish was discontinued as recommended.
