which took place In Boulder last
month. The new requirements are In

OF the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. The
statement contains Il complete resume
OF the high school curriculum and en-
bodies comprehensive outline OF all
OF the high school subjects OF study.
The State University. as did the State
School OF Mines. adopted as Its stand

ceptionally eSacting. the average num-
Der OF units In preparatory study re-

Another step OF great Importance re-
Gently taken by the university IL i'm
piled In the decision TO confer only the
one degree. the standard Bachelor OF
Arts, and TO drop the degrees OF Bach
elor Of Science and Bachelor OF Philos-

quired Greek for the A. Il. degree. but
this requirement has been given up by
many OF the older institutions and II
seemed advisable for the University OF
