240 Sixteen Years at the University of Illinois high-school teachers, supervising officers, teachers of special subjects (agriculture, art, household science, manual training music, etc.), and coaches of athletic teams; graduate courses are offered for college instructors, school supervisors and principals who are working for advanced degrees." A comparison of the foregoing statement with that contained in the summer session bulletin for 1904 reveals the fact that in 1904 a part of the courses offered were for students who were preparing to enter the University, or who wished to do work of a preparatory grade in order to remove entrance conditions; whereas in 1920 the work offered was with very few exceptions of a strictly collegiate or university grade. This fact is further indicated by a comparison of the requirements for admission at the two periods. The announcement of the 1904 session stated: 88 " N o examinations or other conditions will be placed upon admission. All who can do the work are welcome to get what they can from i t Those who can meet the requirements may matriculate in the University if they desire, and in that event, upon examination, may receive credits to apply upon regular University courses." For admission to the 1920 session the requirements were substantially the same as those in force during the regular school year. The tuition fee for the summer session has remained the same throughout the sixteen years from 1904 to 1920. In 1904, however, no free scholarships were available to students. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held January 17, 1905, the President presented a request from the Director of the Summer School, that a free scholarship in the summer session of 1905 be offered each accredited high school in the state. I t was voted that a free scholarship should be granted to some representative of as many high schools in the state as the President of the University should deem wise.39 A similar request for the summer session of 1906 was approved by the Trustees December 19, 1905.4° At a meeting of the Trustees held June 27, 1906,41 it was recommended that in connection with the w Univ. of 111.
