The University Senate met at 10:15 in the faculty room of the Temple. At the request of the Chancellor the Deans were appointed a committee to advise with the Chancellor in recommending to the Regents the selection of new officials in the Registrar's office. Recently both Mr. Greer Registrar and Mr. Hiltner assistant registrar have resigned to go into private business. The Senate passed the following in regard to the war situation: Any student who leaves school to enter the service of the federal government will for the balance of the year be given full credit in any subject for which he is registered provided that his work in that subject is satisfactory to the date of his withdrawal. Seniors in good standing who enlist will be given their diplomas in June without the absentia fee. The committee of Deans shall formulate rules whereby under special permits students may withdraw to perform agricultural or other industrial service without forfeiture of credits. The credits issued for admission to the University by high schools in good standing shall not be questioned because of early graduation or permission to withdraw from school on account of enlistment or for other service. In other words the high schools are free to handle withdrawals locally as they see fit for the remainder of the year in so far as the passing on their credits by the University is concerned. At the close of the Senate meeting the Chancellor made these remarks: "I wish to speak for a moment personally and not officially: The world war has raged for the greater part of three academic years. During this time members of the faculty have been perfectly free to express their opinions on the issues involved in any way they saw fit. There have been pro-German and anti-German militaristic and anti militaristic expressions in the papers. Those who have believed that the United States should take part and those who opposed our taking part have expressed themselves probably more freely than any other class of our citizens. We should now remember however that our country is at war and we should without regard to any previous attitude that we may have taken now place ourselves in thought word and deed solidly behind the govern ment of the United States. There is no other course for us to pursue. In this connection I may further express the hope that in taking this attitude there may be no bitterness on account of statements made or feelings expressed before the country was at war".
