CHANGE IN ADMISSION RULES

The Committee on Admission has announced the following changes in the rules governing the admission of students to Harvard College and the Lawrence Scientific School:

"Hereafter, candidates who at any time before their preparation is complete wish to take examinations in subjects in which they are ready for examination may, with the approval of their school, offer themselves either in June or in September for examination may, with the approval of their school, offer themselves either in June or in September for examination in any subject or subjects in which they present a certificate of preparation. Consequently, the old rules, (1) that candidates may not divide their examinations except between two years, and (2) that candidates failing in June may not be re-examined in September in the same subjects, are abolished.

"Hereafter, preliminary candidates who have received certificates of preparation from their schools will be credited with any subject or subjects in which they pass. The old rule, which fixed a minimum number of points for which credit was given at a preliminary examination (eight for Harvard College, and six for the Scientific School), is abolished."
