Education 241, Technic of Teaching in the Secondary School (to be taken without graduate credit) Education 242, Educational Practice in Secondary Education (to be taken without graduate credit) Candidates for the degree of Master of Arts in the Teaching of English must also pass a final examination required of all master's candidates in the field of English and deposit a special term paper with the Executive Secretary of the Department. The Senate has advised that the changes have been approved by the University Council on Teacher Education, the Policy Committee of the College of Education, and the Executive Committee of the Graduate College. T h e Senate Coordinating Council has advised that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. Prelaw Curriculum The Urbana-Champaign Senate recommends that the statement of graduation requirements from the prelaw curriculum be revised to read: Students preparing for the study of law ordinarily complete the first three years of the general curriculum in liberal arts and sciences before entering the College of Law. A student who has completed ninety hours (excluding basic military training and physical education) and who has been in residence either the first two years or the last year of his prelegal work 1 may count toward the Bachelor of Arts degree a maximum of thirty-two hours in the University of Illinois College of Law, subject to the restrictions on courses taken in colleges other than Liberal Arts and Sciences. A student who has completed his first ninety hours (excluding basic military training and physical education) in residence 1 at the University of Illinois and who transfers to an accredited college of law other than that of the University of Illinois may count a maximum of thirty-two hours of law toward the Bachelor of Arts degree, subject to the restrictions on courses taken in colleges other than Liberal Arts and Sciences. The applicant for the degree should petition the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, who may approve the granting of the degree if all the college and University requirements have been met. The present requirements include a 3.S average for graduation. Since the College of Law will admit students with scholastic averages below 3.5, provided that they have made acceptable scores in the Law School Admission Test, the change in the grade-point average is recommended to make the requirements in the curriculum consistent with those of the College of Law. The other change relates to quality of work in the fourth year and is recommended so that the prelaw curriculum requirements will be consistent with those of other curricula in Liberal Arts and Sciences. The Senate Coordinating Council advises that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. College of Veterinary Medicine The Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended a major revision in the veterinary medical curriculum, effective September 1, 1962. The changes are a result of the re-evaluation of the present curriculum, the objective of which is to offer better preparation of veterinary medical students to meet professional needs and demands following graduation. Significant changes have occurred during the past few years and are still occurring in medical and health sciences and their application. The proposed curriculum provides improved continuity of course sequences and permits consolidation and integration of subject matter materials of related areas. Courses Added An. Sci. 201, Animal Management, 4 credit hours, 4 clock hours V.C.M. 342, Diseases of Small Animals, 2 credit hours, 2 clock hours V.P.H. 322, Veterinary Bacteriology, S credit hours, 9 clock hours V.P.H. 333, 343, Clinical Pathology Conference, 0 credit, 1 clock hour
