On motion of Mr. Karraker, these certificates were awarded as recommended.

CHANGE IN REGULATIONS FOR ADMINISTRATION OF LAW RELATING TO CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (9) Under State law, the University of Illinois is charged with the responsibility of examining applicants for the certificate of Certified Public Accountant in Illinois. The Board of Trustees has adopted regulations for administering the l a w ; it has also appointed a board of three examiners to prepare, conduct, and grade examinations and a University Committee to conduct the routine work. Rule 34 of the regulations reads: "A candidate who fails in the examination so that he is not eligible for re-examination under Rule 33, may not present himself for re-examination until at least one examination shall have intervened, and then only upon his presentation of satisfactory evidence that he has made further preparation in the subjects in which he failed." Since the majority of candidates for the C.P.A. are liable for military service under the Selective Training and Service Act, and there is a real shortage of trained accountants, the Committee on Accountancy recommends that the provision in this rule, that a candidate failing the examination is not eligible for re-examination until at least one examination shall have intervened, be suspended for the duration of the war. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Jensen, this rule was amended as recommended.

FEES FOR EXAMINATION IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE SUBJECTS (10) T h e University through the Registrar's Office offers examinations in highschool and college subjects for the benefit of candidates seeking to qualify for admission to the C.P.A. and the State Bar examinations. Fees are charged candidates to cover the expenses of giving these examinations, the receipts going into the Entrance Examination Fund. During the 15-year period, 1929-1934, the receipts of the Entrance E x amination Fund exceeded the expenses of giving the examinations by $7,826.49.
