174 Sixteen Years at the University of Illinois It is perhaps worthy of note that the largest number of young men and young women were from the farm, and that next in order are the sons and the daughters of men engaged in merchantile business, the professions, financial and semilegal business, and as skilled laborers. The wide range of occupations makes it clear that the University is an institution of the whole state, serving all classes of its citizens. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS In the course of the past sixteen years the requirements for admission have been raised in the case of each of the various colleges and schools of the University.19 The following table with the accompanying notes indicates the extent to which the requirements have been advanced in each instance. The changes made in the last sixteen years in the requirements for entrance to the University may be summarized as follows: For admission to the colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Agriculture, and the School of Music fifteen units are now required, as against thirteen and one-third units required in 1904. The requirements for admission to the College of Commerce and Business Administration, organized as a separate college in 1915, have from the outset been 15 units. For admission to the College of Law 1 3 ^ units were required in 1904. At the present time, in addition to 15 entrance units, two years of college work are required for entrance to the three-year course, and one year of college work for entrance to the four-year course. Three years of college work were required in 1904 and until 1911 for admission to the Library School. Since 1911 the possession of a bachelor's degree has been necessary to secure admission as a candidate for the degree in library science. In 1904,13% units were required for entrance to the College of Medicine. For 1913-14,15 entrance units and the completion mM"G*' tf*jv. of HI.
