MINUTES or THE FACULTY or THE UNIVERSITY - July 15, 1943

The Faculty of the University met in the President's Office
Thursday, July 15, 1943. President Donovan presided. Members present
were Thomas P. Cooper, Alvin E. Evans, W. D. Funkhouser, Edward Wiest,
and Leo M. Chamberlain.

The minutes of June 2 were read and approved, with one change
necessary to harmonize them with the facts concerning the record of
Mary Frances Hatfield.

On recommendation of Dean Wiest, the petition of James Sparrow
was approved. Mr. Sparrow was asking that he be allowed half credit
for Commerce 109a, Business Law, and Commerce 117, Corporation Finance.
Mr. Sparrow left the University to enter military service on July 1,
which was two days short of the required three weeks' period. Mr.
Sparrow also asked permission to complete the third course which he
was currently carrying, Commerce 102, Labor Problems, by correspondence,
since his status in the army will permit him to-carry on this work.

The Faculty approved this part of Mr. Sparrow's petition, with the
understanding that Dean Wiest and Dean Chamberlain would arrive at the
proper method of recording the credit for this course.

On recommendation of Dean Wiest, the petition of John C. C1arke,dr.
was approved. Mr. Clarke had completed the requirements for the degree
of LL.B. after having done somewhat less than three years of work in
the College of Commerce. He now asks permission to complete the 18
quarter hours necessary to satisfy the requirements for the degree of
3.3. in Commerce under the combined CommercevLaw program. Ordinarily
it is assumed that the student will complete the requirements for this
latter degree before taking a degree in the College of Law.

Also on recommendation of Dean Wiest, the patition of Charles
S. Jones, Jr. was approved. Mr. Jones asked that he be permitted to
take an additional 8 quarter hours of work by aarrespondence, in order
to complete the.requirements for a degree. In granting this permission.
the Faculty allowed him to complete a total of 17 hours of correspon—
dence during his senior year, whereas the rule provides that not more
than 9 hours shall be done during this period. It was noted that this
action was taken in consideration of the military status of the student
and does not in any way constitute a precedent.

On recommendation of the College of Law, the Faculty approved the
following course changes in Law:

Law 124. Evidence. 6 quarter hours a changed to Law 124 ash.
Evidence, % quarter hours each.

.Law 172, Problems.of Research, 3 quarter hours - changed to
Law 172aub, Problems of Research, 3 quarter hours each.

Dean Evans pointed out that because of reductions in the teaching
staff of the College of Law, it may be necessary from time to time to
