for it is most important that the foreign students gain an appreciation of the language, culture, and t h e social ideals of our country. 4. T h e Department of English shall, therefore, be instructed to set up such course, or courses, as seem necessary for adequate training of foreign students. 5. On a student's completion of such courses, appropriate elective credit shall be assigned him by whatever college has jurisdiction. 6. It is further recommended that the University authorities on admission study the possibility of checking in advance the proficiency in English of foreign applicants and of limiting admission to such students as a r e sufficiently trained to profit by study in America. 7. Any adequate intensive language program is costly. Therefore, it is further recommended that the University administration consider the assessment of special fees for courses in English for foreigners. I concur in this recommendation.

On motion of Mr. McKelvey, these recommendations were approved.
