R.O.T.C. EQUIVALENT TO DISTRIBUTION COURSE

In view of the difficulty which many students have encountered in attempting to reconcile an unusual amount of military work with a normal schedule of courses, the Committee on the Choice of Electives, after a conference on the matter passed a vote yesterday ruling that courses taken in Military Science might replace their equivalent of distribution courses. It was decided, however, that only two full military courses might be counted in this way, and that scientific and language courses allied with war studies must be rated according to the established rules for concentration and distribution, as stated in the University publication on courses given by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for 1918-1919.

This vote will have no effect on the validity of the clause providing that courses in the three groups for distribution must be so chosen that at least one full course in each will be taken. The new arrangement will hold for the duration of the war only.

The vote as passed by the Committee follows:

"That, for the duration of the war, students taking Military Science be relieved of the requirements for distribution to an amount equivalent to the number of courses taken in Military Science but not exceeding two full courses, provided they take not less than the equivalent of one full course in every group."
