H e has now requested an extension of his present leave of absence without salary from July I through August 31, 1953. I recommend that this extension of leave be granted but that the additional leave during July and August be on full pay because ( a ) he is entitled to a month's vacation with pay, and (b) he contemplates making a lecture tour of a month's duration.

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

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO CURRICULA IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, LANDSCAPE OPERATION, AND CITY PLANNING (6) T h e University Senate has approved for presentation to the Board of Trustees a recommendation from the College of Fine and Applied Arts that the requirements for admission to the curricula in landscape architecture, landscape operation, and city planning be uniform with the requirements for admission in the curriculum in architecture. The effect of this change will be to add onehalf unit of algebra to the one unit of algebra and one unit of geometry now constituting the mathematics requirement for admission to the curricula in landscape architecture and landscape operation. Admission will be granted without this additional one-half unit in algebra, on condition that the deficiency be removed during the first year, as is authorized in the case of the curriculum in architecture. I concur.

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