c. v. WILL ENLARGE
UNDERGRADUATE WORK
Degree of Bachelor of. Science
in Medicine Is to Be
Created.

Inaugurating decisive changes in the ar
rangement of several courses of study
leading toward professional degrees, the
faculties of George Washington Univer-
sity have voted to enlarge the scope Of
the undergraduate work, and created the
degree of bachelor Of science in medicine.
The general effect of the action is to stiff
en- the work Of the undergraduate courses
some instances the studies to be covered
are somewhat extended.
1t was also decided that the degree of
bachelor of arts will not be granted at
the end OF the first four years of a COM
bined course when the aim of the student
is the professional degree Of law or medi-
cine. This degree will be withheld until
the student has completed his entire six
or seven year course, when sheepskins
for scholastic as well as professional at
tainments will be awarded
Is Effective at Once.
The change is not to affect students
now enrolled, according to Dean William
A. Wilbur of the Columbian College of
Arts and Sciences. The new rule is to
go into effect at once, however. and stu
dents enrolling for the first time for the
combined courses will come under its pro-
visions.
Under the new rule the entire course
Of seven years for the degrees A. B. and
NJ. D. is prescribed. and for the three
years to be covered In the college Of
arts and sciences the student who would
combine 1t with his professional course
must obtain credits in three additional
hours during the three years.
Although the degree of bachelor of
science in medicine is new for Washing
ton the university is not pioneering here,
for such a degree has been recognized by
the educational authorities. However.
in order to get this degree. and that of
NJ D. in six years, the student must
take three additional hours of study
for the two years in college work.

.KNOTTY PROBLEM FACED
IN wedding OUT SALOONS
New Excise Law Seems Sure
to PerpIex Board En-
forcing It.

One Of the provisions Of the new ex-
else law which is expected to develop
a knotty problem for the excise board
members who win be called upon to
enforce 1t is that requiring that not
more than three saloons or barroorns
other than those in hotels or clubs
shalE be permitted son.s ons side OF q
street between interesting streets
nor more than four on both sides OF q
street between intersecting streets.
There is nothing in the law to indicate
what standards shall be followed in the
wedding out'' process. and the mem
bers of the present excise board frankly
admit that II they are charged with the
enforcement Of the measure In this par
ticular they will be at loss to know
how to, proceed.
Test Case is Probable.
Where more than three saloons are
located on one block and all Of them have
been conducted within the law. the excise
board. it is pointed out, will have q DIFF
ficuit time deciding upon the three that
are to be allowed to remain. It Is be-
lieved to be more than likely that the
constitutionality OF this section Of the
law will be tested by the saloon interests
Indications are that there Will be q
large number Of candidates for the three
excise commissionerships which are to be
appointed by President Wilson. The mem.
bers Of this body will be compensated al
the rate Of 400 a year and will serve
for a period of three years. The member
first appointed will serve one and the
others two and three years. as may b<
DESIGNATED by the President.
The board itself will shave some pat
ronage to dispense. A clerk at a salar,
of 81, 500 is to be named, as well as an
inspector with police powers, who is ia
receive a similar compensation. Congress
failed to provide an appropriation fol
the salaries Of the excise commissioners
and the employees of the board, but II
is expected that this oversight will b
adjusted at the session beginning April
