ADMINISTRATION OF SCHOLARSHIPS IN COOK COUNTY (2) T h e action of the Board on May 15 (Minutes, page 285), establishing 16 additional four-year scholarships in Cook County, authorized the President of the University to prescribe such rules and procedures as may be necessary for the administration of the awards. I recommend approval of the following regulations: 1. A candidate successful in the examination who is awarded a scholarship, in order to qualify for it, must register in the University at the opening of the semester in which the scholarship first becomes effective. 2. T h e value of these scholarships is on a uniform basis exempting their holders from the payment of matriculation and tuition fees as set for those colleges of the University at Urbana which admit students directly from the high schools; when a student holding one of these scholarships enters a division of the University which has fees higher than those set for the colleges specified, he shall pay the difference. 3. T h e scholarship may be lapsed or forfeited at any time by action of the University Committee on Assignments to Undergraduate Scholarships if the holder fails to maintain a satisfactory record in the University. Satisfactory scholarship shall be determined by the Committee from all the circumstances in the individual case. T h e scholarship is forfeited if the scholarship holder is for any cause dismissed by action of University authorities. T h e r e shall be no assignment of lapsed or forfeited scholarships. 4. A scholarship may be extended by the Committee on Assignments to Special Undergraduate Scholarships to cover a period of absence of the holder not exceeding two years under the following conditions: ( a ) T h e holder must show good cause, acceptable to the Committee; such good cause shall include the necessity of earning money to complete an education, or illness. (b) All applications for an extension of the term of a scholarship must be made in writing to the Committee. (c) T h e application for extension must be filed in advance of the time of leaving the University. ( d ) T h e holder must have completed the work of at least two semesters after the award of the scholarship. (e) The student's work for the time during which he has been at the University must have been at least of average grade. This is indicated by a grade of "C." No student whose average is below " C " may receive an extension of his scholarship. 5. If the legal residence of a scholarship holder is changed from Illinois to some other state, his scholarship is thereby forfeited.

Anspach be awarded the certificate of Certified Public Accountant as of May, 1040. H e was originally reported as having failed in auditing and commercial law, but a review of his paper indicates that he is entitled to a passing grade.

On motion of Mr. Jensen, this award was made as recommended.

OPERATION OF THE MCKINLEY HOSPITAL (4) T h e University Health Officer, who is also chairman of the Hospital Committee, submits the following recommendations for improvements in the operation of McKinley Hospital: 1. Operation of the Hospital on a twelve-month basis rather than during the two semesters of the academic year, ( a ) t o provide hospitalization for those who join the Hospital Association for the summer months and may need hospital care, (b) to insure a nucleus of nurses when needed, ( c ) to reduce to a minimum the likelihood of the loss of the present technician, and ( d ) to provide
