METHODS OF ADMISSION 31 



Fourth, it is required that all credits from other institutions be sent 

 by the proper officers of such institutions, duly certified, to the Registrar 

 of this College, such certificates to include the number of weeks the' 

 student has pursued the studies in question and the number of hours' credit 

 received in each term, as well as the portions of the subjects covered. 



Fifth, advanced or college credit may be given for extra high school 

 or secondary school work only on the following conditions: 



1. The number of units reported and accepted must be in excess of 16. 



2. There must be a rigorous examination for college credit. 



B. Admission by Certificate From Fully Accredited High Schools 



Graduates of fully accredited high schools of Iowa who meet fully the 

 requirements for admission to the Freshman class, will, upon presentation 

 of the proper uniform certificate, be admitted to the College without ex- 

 amination. 



Graduates of schools fully accredited by the colleges of other states 

 which have as high a standard of entrance requirements as this institu- 

 tion, will also be admitted as freshman upon presentation of certificate of 

 graduation, accompanied by uniform admission certificate. 



Superintendents and principals are urged to send to the Registrar 

 immediately upon the close of the school year, the uniform admission 

 certificate of each graduate intending to enter the College at the be- 

 ginning of the ensuing College year. If on inspection the certificate is 

 found satisfactory, the applicant will be forwarded a certificate entitling 

 him to admission without examination. Uniform admission certificates 

 may be obtained by teachers and students who are candidates for admis- 

 sion to the College upon application to the Registrar. The certificate must 

 show the grade of work done and text-books used in the subjects required 

 for entrance, with a definite statement of the year of the high school in 

 which the subject was taken, the number of recitations per week, and the 

 number of w,eeks the subject was pursued during the high school course; 

 and it must state that the applicant is of good moral character and, in the 

 judgment of the subscriber, able to pursue college studies successfully. 



If, however, applicants from accredited four-year secondary schools 

 present the superintendent's or principal's certificate showing deficiencies 

 not exceeding one entrance unit, together with that officer's statement that 

 they are in good standing in the school from which they come, and that 

 in the subscriber's judgment they are able to pursue college studies suc- 

 cessfully, they may be admitted on condition that they make up enongh 

 credits to bring the number up to fifteen units within one year after their 

 admission. 



Diplomas of graduation will not be accepted for entrance unless ac- 

 companied by a uniform certificate as stated above. 



Applicants planning to enter by certificate will be saved much trouble 

 and annoyance, and possibly delay, by mailing their certificates in advance 

 to the Registrar as soon as they have decided to make application. All 

 preliminary adjustments can be made by correspondence, at the close of
