The record-union., 1897-05-25

I'VE recommend that action on the
application of the University or IN
diana be further deferred. We should
be disposed to recommend the granting
of this application but for the fact that
the admission of students from ac-
credited schools-upon which the aca-
demic standing of the institution large
ly depends-does not seem to us suffl-
GENTLY guarded. We understand that
schools are accredited without further
examination than a single visit from
one member of the State Board of Edu-
cation. and that such accrediting holds
good so long as there is no change IN the
superintendency of the school so ac-
credited We recommend that this
minute be communicated to the Presi-
dent of the University in order that
he may have an opportunity of giving
| full information on this point, in case
our understanding should be incorrect.
1--WE recommend that the application
| of the University of Missouri
be deferred The entrance re-
uuirements Of the University are
considerably lower than those of
the University of California. It's system
! of accredited schools, moreover, seems
to us lacking in safeguards. We OBJ
serve, however, that an earnest effort
| is apparently making to raise the stand
| ard of preparation as well as to build
up strong University courses. We
recommend postponement accordingly
in order that final action may be based
| on observation of the further progress
of this effort"
