The question arose whether all of the normals should be so authorized and at a meeting of regents and presidents of the normal schools it was decided that each normal might grant degrees in special courses. Beginning with june, 1927, the Platteville Normal has the right to grant degrees to students finishing the four year courses in lnddstrial Arts and Agriculture. After July 1, 1927, the power will be given to grant degrees to students com- pleting the four year course for high school teachers and after this time the normal schools will be known as teachers colleges. Owing to these changes the faculty of the Platteville Normal deemed it necessary to bring about a reorganization in the classification of students. Previously the students were classed as juniors and Seniors regardless of the number of years which they might spend in school. The new plan which is being used this year is to reclassify the students into the four groups: Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. The student enters the class according to the number of years in his course. With the new plan a student does not con- tinue a member of one class for a number of years as previously in the three and four year courses. However, there are unsatisfactory phases to this plan and its merits will be discovered only by trial. izbl
