REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES All degrees are conferred by the Board of Control at regular commencement ex- ercises. All candidates for degrees are required to be present at commencement exercises (Baccalaureate Sermon and Commencement Convocation).

STANDARDS OF THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION The Council on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the American Bar Association requests that attention be called to the Standards of the American Bar Association adopted in 1921 and by it recommended for enactment by all states. These Standards as amended provide in effect that every candidate for admission to the bar, in addition to taking a public examination, shall give evidence of graduation from a law school which shall require at least three years of acceptable college work as a con- dition of admission, and three years of law study (or longer if not full-time course), which shall have an adequate library and a sufficient number of teachers giving their entire time to the school to ensure actual personal acquaintance and influence with the whole student body, and which shall not be operated as a commercial enterprise.
