F E E S FOR PARTIAL SCHEDULES AND FOR GRADUATE FIELD W O R K

After reconsidering its action of October 14 on fees for partial schedules and for graduate field work, the Committee recommends that the following schedule of fees be adopted: ( a ) F o r undergraduate and professional work in the colleges and schools at Urbana, provided registration is for not more than eight credit hours in one semester or a summer quarter, or for not more than four hours in half of a summer quarter: Residents, per credit hour $ 3 00 Non-residents, per credit hour 6 00 ( b ) F o r graduate work at Urbana, provided registration is for not more than two units in one semester: Residents, per unit $12 00 Non-residents, per unit 24 00 ( c ) F o r graduate field research work off the campus, by students registered exclusively for such work, other than that done in regular extramural courses: Residents, per unit $12 00 Non-residents, per unit 24 00 I recommend approval.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, this schedule of fees was approved as recommended.

CHANGE IN ACADEMIC CALENDAR IN COLLEGES OF MEDICINE, DENTISTRY, AND PHARMACY (18) On recommendation of the faculties of the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy the University Senate recommends that the academic calendar of these divisions be placed on a four-quarter basis to go into full effect in September, 1942, and that a Summer Session (1942) be offered for the two upper classes in the College of Medicine. Beginning with the fall term all remaining classes in the three colleges will enter on an uninterrupted schedule of studies until graduation. I concur in these recommendations.

On motion of Mr. Adams, these recommendations were adopted.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY (19) On recommendation of the faculty of the College of Pharmacy the University Senate recommends the following changes in the requirements for admission to that division, effective September 1, 1942: 1. T h a t the general requirements for admission to the University in effect for the undergraduate colleges at Urbana shall apply to applicants for admission to the College of Pharmacy. 2. T h a t one unit of algebra, one unit of plane geometry, and three units of English be required of all applicants. 3. That an Admissions Committee of the College of Pharmacy be created similar to the Committees on Admissions now functioning for the Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry. 4. That because the number of applicants for admission to the College of Pharmacy is greater than the facilities will accommodate, only those students who rank in the upper 50 per cent of their high-school classes may be admitted. I concur in these recommendations.

On motion of Mr. Karraker, these recommendations were adopted.
