Recommendations of the Military Committee
of the Engineering Dep't.

The following recommendations are hereby respectfully
made to the Engineering Faculty and to the Military Commi-
ttee of the University:

1. That the Spring term of this session be shortened
by one week, advancing the beginning of the examination
period to May 21st, in order to complete all term work
by May 31st, thus releasing men for the Plattsburg Camps,
which open on June 2nd.

2. That Finals be abolished this session, and that degrees
be conferred on May 31st.

3. That the Senior examinations now scheduled for the tenth
day of the period be scheduled earlier in order to allow
grading of Senior papers before May 31st.

4. That the Seniors in Engineering be allowed to substitute
the proposed course in Military Instruction, this term,
for Course 507, Canal and River Engineering.

5. That in view of the above substitution the military
instructor shall hold an examination on his course, the
grades in which will be accepted as substituting for the
above named Course 507.

6. That students, other than candidates for degrees this
year, be assured of credit being extended for the satisfactory
completion of this term's military instruction.

7. That the matter of credits for future work in military
instruction here be left for a later adjustment.

8. That all engineering students be urged to take the proposed
military instruction and further to attend the full
Plattsburg course this summer; and that the same credit be
extended here for this work at Plattsburg, if satisfactorily
completed, as would be extended for military work done here.
