he would receive the permanent appointment, however much or little he might have desired it, so it was proper that he should not propose changes in policy or curricula during the interim that was advancing into its second year. Only one serious problem came to the faculty during that period. The alumni campaign for funds had uncovered several nongraduates whose careers had been so successful that the Alumni Association was eager to secure for them the recognition that might have had certain desired effects upon their attitude toward the college. The worthiness of such men was fully discussed at meetings of the Association, and the faculty was petitioned to consider granting honorary or other degrees to alumni who had nearly completed the course. A faculty committee wrestled with this problem for several months, reporting early in 1913 that it was not in favor of granting the B. S. degree to any who had not completed all requirements in course, and that it did not appear wise to grant honorary degrees to non-graduates. The faculty agreed, and the matter stood there for a while, only to be reopened at a later date.
