Thp graduates of the schools that meet the requirements are then, received into the University without entrance ex- aminations. Requires Much Help The growth of .the number of ac- credited schools which have to be re- inspected every one, two, or three years according to their standing, has been so rapid in late years that the work of examining now has to be done by a large committee besides the Uni- versity's regular inspector, Prof. J. B. Edmonson, who is on the inspection tour during the entire second semester. This year's committee includes the following: Profs. L. M. Gram, M.

Hall The University of Michigan was the first higher institution in the United States to accredit high schools, the recommended graduates of which are received into the University without entrance examination. The accrediting plan had its origin in a resolution adopted by the University faculty in 1871, and confirmed by the Board of Regents the following year. The cred- it for suggesting the idea belongs to President Henry S. Frieze who was at that time acting president. But the principal work of developing and per- fecting the plan was done under the direction of President James B. An- gell. System of Great Value President Angell once said in dis- cussing the origin and purpose of the accrediting system, "Perhaps in noth- ing has the University been more use- ful to the educational system of the state than in the cultivation of the friendly relation with the schools by the introduction of the diploma system of admission of students." In the early beginnings of the sys- tem atcommittee of the faculty, upon special invitation of superintendents and boards of education, annually vis- ited the high schools desiring the ac- credited relation with the University. The findings of this committee were reported to the faculty, and the deci- sions of that body determined the re- lationship between each individual high school and the University. Special Office Created In 1893 the number of schools de- siring to affiliate ,with the University had become so large that a standing committee of the faculty was appoint- ed to pass on all questions involving relationship with secondary schools. In 1899 a special office was created to have charge of the inspection, and Prof. A. S. Whitney was appointed first inspector of schools. In 1917 the Uni- versity and the State Department of Public Instruction entered into an ar- rangement providing for an exchange of report on public high schools de- siring both the tuition privilege from the state department an accrediting by the University. The standards for the accredited schools have always been stated in minimum terms and have been so framed as to enable thetypical three- teacher high school to secure recogni- tion. As a result of this liberal pol- icy nearly all of the three-teacher high schools in the state are now on the accredited list, ad many of the small- er schools are so shaping their poli- cies as to secure aproval as soon as their teaching force meet the required number. 32 Schools on List The growth of the number of ac- credited schools has been very no- ticeable, especially since the year 1905, and there are now 320 schools on the accredited list of which 285 are pub- lie high schools and 35 are either pri- vate or parochial schools. More than 99 per cent of the freshmen taken in- to the University enter under this ac- credited system, according to Registrar Arthur G. Hall. A large number of Michigan high schols in addition to being accredited by the University, are also recognized by the North Central association of colleges and secondary schools.*'ol- leges and universities belonging to this association interchange their re- spective state lists, and in this way. graduates of high schools recognized .by one of these states are also ac- credited by the others.
