The new regulations for admittance
to the Medical School, as approved
by the Regents at their meeting last
night, were outlined in a statemen1
given out by the University authori-
ties shortly after the meeting. The
statement, which defines the proces
by which all freshmen will enter the
Medical School next fall, follows:
"Improved methods of selectin-
freshman medical students and of ex-
amining candidates for the medical
degree were approved by the Regents
of the University of Michigan at their
meeting of Dec. 2, 1927. The former
will, it is hoped, aid in overcoming a
most difficult situation occasioned by
the large number of students applying
for admission to the Medical School,
and will allow those to be selected

seniors are of great public interest,
for they will be an effective means of

in character and designed to show
whether the applicant is personally

will be supplemented by letters of in-
quiry, sent to at least two teachers
of each aplicant, one in the sciences
and one in the humanities, asking for
their cuinions as to the candidate's
industry, jlersenality, honesty, intel-
lgcnce. and suitability to come into
the sick room. Each candidate inter-

The faculty committee's report con-
cludes as follows: "As the capacity
of the School is limited by the size
of the classrooms, it must be under-
stood that a choice is necessary. In
I making thi :hoice, the Committee
will take in consideration the ap-
plicant's reputation, his apparent iii
telligence and fitness to study medi-
cine in addition to his scholastic
standing."
