COMMITTEE ON ADMISSIONS FOR SCHOOL OF NURSING (10) Each of the Chicago Professional Colleges has a Committee on Admissions which passes upon the qualifications of applicants taking into consideration such factors as their scholastic record, letters of recommendation from former instructors, health record, and results of aptitude tests or such other special examinations as may be deemed advisable. The Acting Director of the School of Nursing and the Chairman of the Administrative Committee for the Chicago Professional Colleges recommend authorization of a Committee on Admissions to the School of Nursing to be appointed by the President of the University. T h e functions of this Committee will be to develop and periodically evaluate selective techniques for selection of candidates to the School of Nursing, and to select, from candidates who meet the general admission requirements of the University and of the School of Nursing, those applicants with the academic and personal qualifications desirable for professional nursing. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this recommendation was approved. FEE FOR PUBLICATION OF DOCTORAL THESES (11) A candidate for the doctorate is charged a fee of $30 to cover the costs of microfilming the thesis and printing an abstract in Dissertation Abstracts. This fee was formerly $35 and was reduced to $30 last year. Experience during the past year indicates that a fee of $25 is sufficient, and the Dean of the Graduate College recommends a further reduction to $25. I concur in this recommendation. On motion of Mrs. Holt, this change in fee was approved.
