6l2 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [April 20 CHANGES IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM INCLUDING ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS ( n ) T h e Faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the University Senate recommend the following changes in the curriculum in chemical engineering, to become effective in September, 1953: (a) Entrance Requirements. Three and one-half units of high school mathematics to be required as follows: albegra, two units; plane geometry, one unit; trigonometry, one-half unit. An additional one-half unit in solid geometry is to be recommended. (The present mathematics requirement is albegra, one and one-half units; geometry, one unit; however, three units of mathematics are recommended.) Students who present only one unit in algebra and one unit in geometry, and who meet all other requirements, may be admitted on the condition that the deficiencies be removed during their first year of residence. Students who do not present the three and one-half units in mathematics as specified may be admitted to full standing by passing a proficiency examination at the University which will indicate that their preparation is adequate for entrance into analytic geometry. (b) The sequence Mathematics 122 (Analytic Geometry), 132 (Calculus, first course), 142 (Calculus, second course) will replace the sequence Mathematics 117 (Combined Freshman Mathematics), 127 (Combined Freshman Mathematics, continuation of Mathematics 117), 137 (Calculus), 147 (Calculus, continuation of Mathematics 137). (c) The sequence Physics 106 (General Physics — Mechanics), 107 (General Physics — Electricity, Magnetism, Modern Physics), 108 (General Physics — Heat, Sound, Light, Modern Physics) will replace the sequence Physics 103 (General Physics — Mechanics, Heat, and Sound), 104 (General Physics — Electricity, Magnetism, Light, and Modern Physics). (d) A student who has had neither French nor German in high school may substitute the second year of the language requirement for the required six hours of General Studies electives. I concur. On motion of Mr. Bissell, this recommendation was approved. CHANGE IN REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION (12) The Faculty of the School of Physical Education and the University Senate recommend that for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physical Education the general requirement shall be "a minimum of eight units of credit in physical education courses, or in related courses in health education and recreation," effective immediately. I concur. On motion of Mr. Johnston, this recommendation was approved. CHANGE IN REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION (13) The Faculty of the School of Physical Education and the University Senate recommend that the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Physical Education (Men) shall include eight hours of biological science, specifically either a combination of Division of General Studies 131 and 132 (Biological Science), or a combination of Botany 100 (General Botany) and Zoology 104 (Elementary Zoology). This change in the requirements will become effective September 1, 1953, and will be applicable to all students entering the curriculum after that date. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Holt, this recommendation was approved. PROGRAM IN AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE (14) The University Senate recommends (a) a continuation of the two-year terminal curriculum in aircraft maintenance, and (b) that this action shall not
