PLAN reinforcement
OF DIPLOMA LAW
School Officials Study AppIi-
cation Blank institutions
Must File.

Enforcement of the recently enacted
diploma mill law by the Board of Edu-
cation, in which was vested authority
to license all degree-granting ir1stitu-
tons within the District is approach
ing actuality at Franklin Administra-
ton Building where, since the Board of
Education's meeting last Wednesday.
members have studied a copy of an
application blank which universities and
colleges here will be required to file
with the board before granting degrees
to their June graduates this year.
At the last meeting of the board DR.
Charles F. Carusi. president, presented
his associates with a tentative draft Of
the QUESTIONABLE.
United States Assistance Asked.
DR.. Carusi explained then that he
had availed himself, as president of the
board, Of the privilege granted by the
new law in authorizing the board to call
upon the Federal Bureau of Education
for assistance in inaugurating its en-
forcement, and he petitioned that bu-
reau to assist in framing the applica-
ton. Since the application was in such
a form that made it difficult to be
copied the president of the board sug-
gested that the board approve it with
the privilege of making recommends
tons for changes If careful examina-
ton Of the document seems to warrant
the changes. The board acted on the
suggestion, and since last Wednesday
individual members have called at the
Franklin Building to examine the forms.
Blanks To Be Printed.
If no changes are suggested the APP
plication blank will be printed in its
present form on April "a, after which
copies of 1t will be sent Immediately to
the universities and colleges which con-
fer degrees within the District of
Columbia. Considerable care in the
framing of the application was ex-
ercised by the school authorities and
by DR.. Arthur j. Klein and his as
sociates at the Education Bureau who
drew it up.
The framing of the application blank
is the first definite step which the
Board of Education has made in I'M
dertaking to license the institutions
of higher learning here, and it was
considered a highly important and
significant move, since it is through
the application blank which the board
furnishes to the institution that the
board will obtain the information on
which 1t will base its action in issuing
licenses. The first of these licenses
must be executed before universities
and colleges can confer degrees upon
their graduating classes this June.
