ing the requirement of one course in legal theory or legal philosophy. The requirements would then read (the italics indicates the changes in the requirements) : All students who enroll in the College of Law as candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) shall, as conditions to receiving that degree, have studied in residence for a minimum period equal to six semesters and shall have earned ninety semester hours of law credit with an average grade of at least C (3.0). During this period, as further conditions to receiving the degree, the candidates must have pursued the courses of the first year of the law curriculum and have obtained credit in one seminar course in advanced work and in one course in legal theory or legal philosophy selected from a group of courses to be designated by the faculty of the College of Law. The College of Law faculty has selected the following courses, each to be offered for three hours of credit, as an indication of the type of courses involved: International Law, Comparative Law, Legal History, Jurisprudence, Law and Society. However, the faculty would prefer that this list of courses remain flexible, and not be stereotyped by formal action. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .

CHANGES IN CURRICULUM IN CERAMIC ENGINEERING (14) T h e University Senate recommends adoption of a revised curriculum in Ceramic Engineering which includes the following specific changes in graduation requirements: In the second semester of the sophomore year: Economics 108 (Elements of Economics) is a required course in place of the nontechnical elective. In the first semester of the junior year: Ceramic Engineering 205 (Ceramic Technology, three hours) and Ceramic Engineering 222 (Porcelain Enamels, three hours) are added to replace Ceramic Engineering 201 (Ceramic Technology, five hours). Ceramic Engineering 205 is a reorganization of the material given in Ceramic Engineering 201 with the elimination of the laboratory work. The total number of hours is increased from eighteen to nineteen with a corresponding reduction in the first semester of the senior year. In the second semester of the junior year: Ceramic Engineering 214 (Elementary Glass Technology) is a required course in place of the three hours of technical elective. Ceramic Engineering 206 is essentially the same as the previous course Ceramic Engineering 202 (Ceramic Technology) with minor changes in the course content. The required course Economics 108 is changed to the second semester of the sophomore year. T h e course Ceramic Engineering 260 (Structural Engineering) is changed from the first semester of the senior year to the second semester of the junior year to obtain better balance in the over-all program. In the first semester of the senior year: A new course, Ceramic Engineering 209 (White W a r e Bodies and Glazes, three hours), is required in place of Ceramic Engineering 211 (Ceramic Bodies and Glazes, five h o u r s ) . In place of the three hours made available by the transfer of Ceramic Engineering 260 to the junior year there are the three hours of nontechnical electives from the sophomore year. Technical electives were increased from two to three hours this semester. T h e total requirements are reduced from eighteen to seventeen hours in this semester. There are no changes in the second semester of the senior year. A copy of the complete outline of this revised curriculum is filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Bissell, this recommendation was approved.
