The Secretary also presented to the Faculty a suggested schedule of
examinations, to be used at the end of the current quarter and subsequently
during the regular school year. This schedule had been prepared by the
Committee on Schedule of Classes. The Committee had been asked to work
on this matter in View of the fact that the existing practice in conducting
examinations Was unsatisfactory in two or three important respects. After
some discussion, the report of the Committee was adopted as presented. It
is as follows:

Further, it seemed to the Committee that the following rules should
govern final examinations:

1, No final examination shall be given before Thursday, June 3,
except on written permission from the Registrar, who has full
charge of the schedule of classes and of examinations. {See
p. 20, Beard of Trustees Regulations, June 1936).

2. In cases of conflicts, the instructors involved shall
report this fact to the Registrar at least two weeks before
the final examination period. In such cases of conflicts,
the Registrar shall decide when these examinations are to
be given.

3. The final examination in Orientation Shall be given at
the last regular class period before the final examination
period.

4. Excepting the College of Law, the above schedule of final
examinations shall apply to all colleges of the University.

5. It is not the Opinion of the Committee that professors should
be instructed to give tweehour final examinations. If an
instructor wishes to give a oneehour final examination he
may do so, but the examination must be given Within the
two=hour period assigned.

The Committee also recommends that the Registrar examine the schedule
with the View of equalizing the examination load for the greatest number of
students. One possibility considered by the Committee was that the examina~
tions scheduled for Friday, June 4, might be interchanged with those scheduled
for Saturday, June 5, so that the first and second hour examinations would be
given on Thursday, June 3, and the third and fourth hour examinations on
Saturday, June 5. However, this arrangement was not voted on by the committee,
and we feel that the Registrar should change the examinations assigned to each
period in whatever way may appear desirable.

The advice of the Faculty was sought as to the proper time to prepare
the schedule of classes for the fall quarter. While no official action was
taken, it seemed to be the unanimous opinion of the FaCUlty that preparation
of the schedule of classes for that quarter should be postponed until late
in the summer.

President Donovan read to the Faculty a letter that had been
addressed to him by a former student, Harold J. Evans. Mr. EVans was
inquiring as to whether it might not be possible for the University to
grant him a degree, although he had been unable to finish his work bee
fore entering military service. The President informed the Faculty
that he had advised Mr. Evans of the Policies of the University with
respect to credit for those entering military service, and that he had
pointed out that under these policies a student could receive his doe
gree only when he had actually completed the quantitative and qualitar
tive requirements.

 

 

 

Upon recommendation of Assistant Dean Horlacher, William H.
Zimmerman was allowed full credit for those courses in which he had
passing marks at the time of entering military service. Mr. Zimmerman
is withdrawing on May 12, whereas May 18 marks the close of the
required eight weeks' period. (Note: Mr. Zimmerman was rejected by
the army after his physical examination and returned to the University).

 

 

 

0n recommendation of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics,
Assembly 1, Freshman Assembly, was changed to Orientation A. This
course is to carry one quarter hour of credit and is to be the same course
as that required in the College of Arts and Sciences.

j

 

Dean Wiest asked for information regarding the authority of the
College of Commerce to offer a combined degree in CommerceeLaw, with
the year of law taken at another institution. When originally approved,
the regulation governing the combined degree with the senior year taken
off campus was to apply only to the College of Arts and Sciences. Dean
Wiest's question was presented in connection with a petition from Louis
B. Scheinman, who is completing his first year of Law at New York
University and who has petitioned to receive his degree from the College
of Commerce in June, 1943. The Faculty approved the extension of the
regulation to cover the case of Mr. Scheinman and requested that Dean
Wiest bring in at a subsequent meeting of the Faculty a general regulas
tion which would replace the one which now restricts this privilege
to the College of Arts and Sciences. MN"

Upon recommendation of the College of Engineering,'the petition of
Mr. John W. Davis was approved. Mr. Davis is asking that he be allowed
full credit for the courses in which he is passing at the time of with~
drawal to enter military service, although leaving three days before the . .
end of the required eight weeks" period.

 

The following communication was presented toihe Faculty by Dean
EVans for the College of Law:

"Be it resolved by the staff of the Law School that the
£0110wing regulation adopted by the Association of American
Law Schools as to requirements for graduation from the Law

School shall preVail during the emergency for such students

as may be Called into the armed forces of the United States

Minutes of the Faculty of the University - May 4, 1943

    

That any student who, in his law course has satisfactoru
ily completed examinations in 90 weeks of work and 1080
hours of classroom instruction. as prescribed by the
articles of the Association of American Law Schools, may
be granted a degree without regard to the existing prac=
tics of a three~year residence requirement."

Dean Evans asked that his previous proposal, made at the last meeting,
be withdrawn. Under this proposal, the University would have followed
the policy of the Association of AmeriCan Law Schools and would have
allowed credit to the student entering military service when he had
attended oneshalf of a quarter.

On recommendation of Dean Evans, the petition of Carleton M.
Davis was approved. Mr. Davis asked that he be allowed full credit
for the courses in which he is passing at the time of his withdrawal
on February 25. This was six days prior to the close of the required
eight weeks“ period.

 

 

On recommendation of Dean Boyd, 0. Bo Lamason was permitted to
apply 19 quarter hours of work in Aerial Navigation and Advanced
Meteorology, taken at the University of Miami, toward his requirements
for graduation. Special permission was necessary inasmuch as Mr.
Lamason would not otherwise have completed the senior residence res
quirementu

are given in the Summer Quarter only° Students taking these
courses cannot take Physics lashes, and vice versa.

On recommendation of the College of Arts and Sceinces. and with the
