ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS IN THE COLLEGE O F LAW (13) The Urbana-Champaign Senate recommends several changes in requirements for admission to the College of Law, effective June 1, 1965. The major change is for a minimum admission requirement of a bachelor's degree from an approved undergraduate college. The changes recommended have flexibility to facilitate the change-over to the new admission requirement and to deal with exceptional cases. The revisions will bring the College of Law in line with the requirements of other major law schools in this country. Submitted herewith is a complete statement of all changes proposed, including the present and the new requirements, and a copy is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.
