The bill is the one introduced by the chairman, and differs from those introduced by Senators Depew and Wellington chiefly in that it lessens the number of regents and raises the standard of admission for students in the field of general studies, so that they must already have such attainments as represented by the degree of master of arts, instead of. bachelor, as under the former bills.
