To Deans, Administrative Officers, and
Department Chairmen:

Catalog revision time is here,

Enclosed is the copy from the current catalog for your
department. Will you kindly bring the copy up to date and return
it to me at your earliest convenience, in no case later than Novem—
per 24, in order that the final copy may be put in the hands of the
state printer by December l.

I should like to make the following suggestions for your
guidance in preparing the copy:

Catalog - Announcement of Courses

1. Refer at once to the faculty and the Senate Advisory
Committee all proposed new courses oF changes in courses,
(See attached copy of Regulations Concerning Catalog
Materiel.) Changes or new courses should be incorporated
into your new catalog copy; any item not approved by the
faculy or Advisory Committee can be deleted later, in
the proof if not earlier.

2.. Departments offering Navy V-12 courses should re-
check such courses to make sure that the catalog list
is complete. 7 |

Catalog ~- General Information

3. “ry to make the catalog readable, intelligible to
the average prospective college freshman. Rewrite your
copy in the interest of clarification and condensation.

4, Condense or skeletonize statements of faculty re-
gulations or requirements,

Requests for new catalogs are pouring in by the hundreds

every week. Your prompt cooperation in preparing new copy will

make possible the publication of the new catalog on schedule.
