CHANGE IN ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

By vote of the Faculty, upon the recommendation of the Committee on Admission, certain changes nave been made in the methods of admission to the College under the certificate plan. By means of these changes it will be possible for boys from schools which do not make a specialty of preparing for college to present subjects other than those now accepted, provided they are students of sufficiently high rank to enter college without any conditions whatever. It will thus readily be seen that this new plan does not make the admission requirements any easier, merely broader.

The details of the plan are as follows:

"Beginning with the fall of 1918, Dartmouth will accept from Approved Schools an 'Unconditional Certificate' for admission, covering the following requirements :

A.B. Degree

"Prescribed Units: English 3 units, Algebra 1½ units, Plane Geometry 1 unit, History 1 unit, Latin 4 units; total 10½ units.

B.S. Degree

"Prescribed Units: English 3 units, Algebra I½ units, Plane Geometry 1 unit, History 1 unit, a modern language 3 units, a Science 1 unit; total 10½ units.

"The remaining requirement of four units will be met, provided that in addition to the above credits the certificate indicates that the pupil has graduated from the Approved School after a full four years' high school course taken in that school, and provided also that the four units of free margin and the ten and one-half units prescribed have all been passed with certificate grade. No credit will be given lor one unit of a modern language. The College reserves the right to refuse any certificate if the subjects presented in the free margin are unsatisfactory.

"A student presenting this type of certificate will be admitted without conditions.

"This form of certificate will be accepted only on condition that every detail of the full requirement is met.

"The present methods of admission described in the Catalogue will be continued."
