Faculty Meeting, January 17, 1914
Dean Redd in chair; Crooks, Thomas, Clark, Smith.
Examination schedule adopted.
Registration of student for the 2nd Semester to be held Wednesday, January 28, 1914.
Be it resolved by the Faculty of Centre College, acting upon the resolutions adopted at a conference on pre-medical education held at the University of Cincinnati, January 17, 1914, and upon certain "suggestions" of Professor Holmes of Earlham College regarding a combined college and medical course leading to the A.B. degree.
- That we are glad, in so far as it is possible, to arrange our courses in biology, chemistry and physics as to meet the admission requirements of the best medical colleges. That we are now doing this is evident from the fact that our graduates are readily admitted to the medical school of John Hopkins University.
- That we will cooperate with the medical schools in every way practicable to eliminate duplication of work in college and medical school wherever such duplication exists.
- That we do not regard a year of study in a medical school as having the same purpose or being in any sense equivalent to the senior year in college; that we regard the two fields of education as essentially different and distinct. We are therefore opposed to any plan whereby the bachelor's degree shall be given upon the completion of less than four years of college work.
