Two Candidates Studying for B.S.

A specially-appointed faculty committee has accepted two of the three students who applied for entrance into the program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree.

Commenting on the small number of applicants, Sargent Kennedy '28, Registrar of the College, said last night that a larger number is expected to apply next year when the degree plan is more familiar to the undergraduates.

Kennedy, also the chairman of the special committee appointed by President Pusey, emphasized that a student's program of study, and not his grades, were, and will be, the major criterion for admission to the program.

The B.S. program, he continued, was designed primarily for students in rank groups IV and V who would probably not attend graduate school, but who had a solid grounding in Physics and Mathematics.

Serving on the administrative committee with Kennedy are Gordon M. Fair, Gordon McKay Professor of Sanitary Engineering, and Albert Haertlein '16, associate dean of Applied Science.

In the near future, Kennedy said, the committee will discuss the problem of housing B.S. candidates in the fifth year of study. These men will have already received their B.A.'s from the College and will not be eligible to live in the Houses.

At present, admission to the program is limited to students of the University, but Kennedy said that the committee might consider admission from other colleges this year.
