on $100 for two years. Tests have shown that some of our students cannot
solve this very problem.

2. To improve the work of the Department of Mathematics by admit-
ting to the classes only students who are competent to do the work. In-
cidentally, this will indirectly reduce the number of failures.

Your Committee recommends the approval of the recommendations of the

 

Department of Mathematics, and further recommends that they be applied to

 

 

all students entering the College an the fait of 1945 and thereafter.

IV. Biology
Our proposal is contained in the following recommendation of a
special. committee representing the four departments of biology involved:

In accordance with the recommendation of the Curriculum Commit-
tee of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and in response to
the recommendation of the Chancellor, Dean of the Graduate School,
and Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences that instruc-
tion in General Biology be provided College students, we, the under-
signed, constituting a committee appointed by the Dean of the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences, recommend that all freshmen be required
to take the two following courses in Biology:

1. General Biology. Three hours credit. Lectures,
demonstrations and assigned field work. Principles

of biology, stressing (1) elementary biological in-
formation common to courses in Botany, Entomology,
Physiology, and Zoology, (2) application to man and
(3) the living organism. This course is prerequisite
to all beginning courses in Botany, Entomology, Physi-
ology, and Zoology.

2. A second required course with laboratory, carrying

a minimum of three hours credit. This mst be the be-
ginning course in one of the four departments mentioned
above.

We further recommend that the course in General Biology be in-
augurated on an elective basis March 1, 1945, and that it be re-
quired beginning September, 1945.

If the Faculty approves the above recommendation, we propose
that the course in General Biology shall be supervised by a committee
