Admission to Advanced Standing from Accredited High Schools In recognition of the fact that some of the larger high schools of the state do work of excellent quality in advance of the entrance requirements, the Illinois University has adopted a plan by which such schools,-upon application, may re­ ceive- advanced credit. Graduates Of schools thus accredited, on entering the Uuiversity, will receive corre'spo.nding'ad- vanced standing. This does away with the manifest injustice of making rro dis­ tinction between schools with liberal courses of study and those barely meet­ ing the advanced requirements. - Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar. h oea Remedy always affords prompt re- ref.
