DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAY ENGINEERING (6) Due to the small enrollments in the railway engineering curricula the Department of Railway Engineering will be discontinued effective September I, 1940, and the courses it has heretofore offered will be transferred, with such revisions as are appropriate, to the Departments of Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. T h e transfer of the present members of the Department of Railway Engineering to the three departments mentioned, and to the Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, effective September I, 1940, has also been authorized by the President of the University. I request confirmation of this action.

On motion of Mr. Cleary, this action was confirmed.

ADMISSION TO EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE COURSES (7) The University Senate recommends approval of the following requirement for admission to Education Practice (i.e., registration in practice teaching in the College of E d u c a t i o n ) : Effective in the fall of 1941, no student whose grade point average in all previous college work is less than 3.5 shall be admitted to Educational Practice except on the recommendation of a committee on student teaching. This committee shall consist of three members: a chairman, appointed by the Dean of the College of Education; a member of the faculty of the university department or division representing the field in which the student is preparing to teach, who shall be designated by the head of that department or division; and a member of the corresponding department in the university high school who shall be designated by the head of that department. This is to replace, effective in September, 1041, the requirement recommended by the University Senate on J u n e 6, 1939, approved by the Board of Trustees on June 8, 1939, to become effective in September, 1940.

On motion of Mr. Jensen, this requirement was approved as recommended.

ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION (8) T h e University Senate recommends that after September I, 1041, no student whose grade point average in all college work is less than 3.5 shall be admitted to the College of Education, except on recommendation of the College Committee on Admissions and Guidance. This is recommended for an experimental period of three years from September I, 1041, on condition that early in the second semester of 1943-1944 the designated College Committee on Admissions and Guidance shall present to the Senate a report on the operation of this procedure, with a recommendation as to whether or not it should be continued.

On motion of Mr. Jensen, this requirement was approved as recommended. At this point, Dr. Meyer took his place with the Board.
