I95*] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 1321 The Faculty of the College and the University Senate recommend a modification of these general education requirements so that instead of any one of the eight-semester-hour sequences required in the areas specified, one approved sixor seven-hour sequence will be accepted, but not earlier than the sophomore year. This slight relaxation will offer students a wider selection of suitable sequences of two three-hour upper-class courses in fulfillment of the general education requirements. It will not affect the requirements relating to major and minor fields of study nor will it reduce the total number of hours required for graduation. I concur. On motion of Mr. Herrick, this recommendation was approved. CHANGE IN REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY (6) The present requirements for admission to the College of Dentistry include twelve semester hours of chemistry of which four shall be organic chemistry. The Faculty of the College and the University Senate recommend that effective in September, 1953, the preprofessional chemistry requirements for admission to the first-year class in dentistry shall include a course in quantitative analysis carrying at least three semester hours of credit, in addition to the four semester hours of organic chemistry. The intent of this change is not to increase the minimum of twelve semester hours of chemistry required but only to specify that quantitative analysis shall be included in the preprofessional preparation in chemistry. I concur. On motion of Mr. Johnston, this recommendation was approved. SCHOLASTIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE O F BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN DENTISTRY (7) The requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Dentistry include a provision that a candidate must "have grades of C or better in at least threefourths of the total hours taken in the College and counted toward the degree." The Faculty of the College and the University Senate recommend that this requirement be changed to provide that "the candidate must have an average of C or better in the total number of hours completed in the College of Dentistry," effective in September, 1953. This requirement is already in effect for candidates for the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery. I concur. On motion of Mr. Fornof, this recommendation was approved. POSTGRADUATE CURRICULA IN DENTISTRY (8) The faculty of the College of Dentistry and the University Senate recommend authorization of three postgraduate curricula as follows: Postgraduate Curriculum in Orthodontia Selected students desiring to pursue an organized curriculum in orthodontia will be accepted on a postgraduate status for a period of three quarters beginning with the fall quarter. These three quarters embrace all technical instruction and a significant amount of clinical work. In addition, the student is required to register in Advanced Oral Histology and Advanced Anatomy as well as in certain minor courses which must be placed early in his professional training. At the end of the third quarter of residence each student desiring to work toward a graduate degree will apply for admission to the Graduate College according to established procedure, and if accepted will follow the approved curriculum leading to a Master of Science degree in orthodontia. The usual requirements for the Master of Science degree prevail. Three units of credit toward the master's degree will be allowed for the work described above. Those students who do not elect or who are not found qualified by the staff to pursue graduate work may continue to register for an additional three quarters as postgraduate students, the first quarter of which must be on a full-time basis. Such students are required to prepare and submit an essay on some aspect of orthodontia or an associated field in order to qualify for the certificate of the department. Both graduate and postgraduate students continue clinical work during the last three quarters.
