Recommendations of the Committee on Rules and Courses
for the College regarding academic credit for the proposed
course in military training.

1. That credit for military training, not to exceed a total
of 6-hours per session be allowed on each beccalaureate
degree in the College.

2. That the credit be estimated on the same basis as credit
for work in any natural science subject,—that is the
lecture work shall be credited on the hour for hour
basis; and the drill, etc., on the basis of 1-hour
of credit for 2-hours of drill.

3. That for the rest of this session the course in Military
Training may be substituted for the third term of any
3-hour course for College credit,—provided that the
substitution is approved by the Adviser of the Student
concerned.

4. As an interpretation of the above, it was decided that
the student, not dropping any course now in order to take
Military Training, may substitute the Military Training
for the third term of any 3-hour course on which he
happens to fail at the end of this session.

5. That the Dean of the College, with any professor or
professors, he may desire to have act with him, is
authorized and requested to settle any irregular and
exceptional cases which may come up this session regarding
credit for Military Training.

to be done next summer at Plattsburg be postponed for
two weeks.

Training may be substituted for the third term of any
C course, except a C course in one of the natural sciences.

8. That no credit shall be given towards the degree of Doctor

Whereas the Surgeon General of the Navy has urgently
requested the Medical Schools of the Country to graduate
immediately such members of their senior classes as have
a certain scholarship grade and who volunteer for immediate
service in the Medical Reserve Corps of the Navy, therefor
the Medical Faculty of the University of Virginia hereby
petition the Rector and Board of Visitors to authorize
the graduation of such students at the earliest possible
moment; and that for this purpose, special final examinations
be given as soon as possible to such candidates
in Surgery and Hygiene.

And be it further resolved that before receiving the diploma
each of these students sign a pledge to enroll at
once in the Medical Reserve Corps of the Navy.

And be it further resolved that these examinations be
given only after the said students have been accepted
by the Examiner from the Navy Department.
