The Registrar is secretary of the University Faculty Committee on Admission by Certificate and also has charge of the credentials of those entering by regents' credentials and by examinations, including the examinations conducted by the college entrance examination board.

During the last sixteen years the number of applicants admitted by school certificate, by regents' credentials, and by examinations, has been as follows:

'91-2 '92-3 '93-4 '94-5 '95-6 '96-7 '97-8 '98-9 '99-00 '00-1 '01-2 '02-3 '03-4 '05-6 '06-7 Certificate 171 195 209 156 164 102 193 199 275 296 357 308 315 317 380 324 Regents' 118 120 125 118 119 131 140 154 164 198 212 219 220 238 233 185 57 63 55 23 28 28 25 22 24 26 39 19 18 27 16 18 9 II 20 27 29 37 20

The regents' credentials mentioned above do not include medical and veterinary student certificates.

The discrepancy in numbers in the freshman class, if compared with those given in the Register, is due to students being registered back and to students admitted from colleges and universities partly to advanced standing.

The small number credited to entrance by examination would be much larger if those taking a single examination to make up a

shortage in another group were included. It is not unusual to have a student enter partially by certificate, by examination, and by college board examination. The combining of school with regents' credentials, however, is not a common method of admission and is only employed in very exceptional cases.

It should be noted that the number entering entirely by our examinations is gradually decreasing. The preparatory schools are now better acquainted with our entrance requirements. Certain regents' credentials now admit to the College of Law, and under certain conditions relieve all students from taking an entrance examination in English. The failure of several students to pass the entrance examination before completing the high school course has influenced others to complete their course in school and enter the University by certificate.

PETITIONS

The usual form of petition has been continued by the several Faculties. When the petition relates to other matters than a mere change of registration of studies, a much simpler method has been adopted for changes in registration, and the strict enforcement of registration rules has made a marked improvement on the student work. The Faculties of Arts and Sciences, Agriculture, Civil Engineering, Medicine, and Veterinary Medicine have filed the petitions in the offices of these Colleges and have notified the Registrar of the action taken; while the Law, and Mechanical Engineering Faculties have returned the petitions to this office and the office has notified the students by mail.

LATE REGISTRATION

Permits to register after registration day have been granted by the Deans of the Faculties concerned as below. In the first term graduate students are allowed until October 15th to register.

There were but few late registrations at the beginning of the second terms 1900-1904 because the first term closed on Friday evening and the second term began Monday, but it should be noted that 119 registered late in February, 1905, 54 in February, 1906 and 55 in February, 1907.

The registration of old students for the first term takes place after the matriculation of new students. This allows new students a day to arrange their work before instruction begins. Old students are not required to be at the University until the day preceding the one on which instruction begins. The system of registering new students in September in groups according as their names appear in the alphabet has solved the overcrowding of registration and gives each student abundant time to get started aright.

The inserted table gives the number admitted to graduation at the 1907 Commencement as well as those of former years. 9759 degrees have been conferred, but there are some duplicates between the first and second degrees. The discrepancy between this table and the one given in the 1896-1897 report is due to a careful investigation while compiling data for the third Ten Year Book. One degree (M. D.) was conferred in 1899, but in 1907 was revoked because the candidate declined to accept it. One degree (D. V. M.) was conferred in June, 1905, but owing to a technicality was withdrawn and

conferred again June, 1906, while another degree (D. V. M.) was conferred in 1907 but dated as June, 1906. Several degrees had been conferred and not recorded. Care has been taken to discriminate between closely allied degrees, but such have been grouped so as to show at a glance the number in each department.

Respectfully submitted,

DAVID F. HOY,

Registrar
