ADMISSIONS EXAMINATIONS

The President inaugurated a discussion of the University's needs for standard entrance
examinations applicable to Virginians as well as to out of state students. Mr. Darden said that
his deans and their admissions officers were all favorable to such a plan. Members praised the
College Board examinations as given by the Princeton agency, but agreed with the President that
it would be well to discuss with the Governor a plan for a state-wide testing agency which might
be administered at less cost to the student.
