^Graduation Monday night, un-dergraduaie examinations Tuesday and Wednesday and the school vear ’33-’34 reaches its end. The year has been a banner one in the history of the University, it has witnessed the progress of every student activity, the inauguration of new activities, and a closer, more binding, attitude between individual members of the student body, it is with reluctance that we terminate the year; with confidence that we look forward to the opening of the biggest and best year in the history of Miami U.
CTo the members of the Miami
’34 class we bid a reluctant farewell. Your sojourn at the University has been an exciting one; you have been permitted to view from this seat of learning a tumultous period of financial and political crisis. Yours has been the fortune of viewing all this from a point of impartiality where you have learned the importance of ethical principles in modern civilization; yours is the tremendous task of applying these principles.
Your ways are soon to part, each of you will travel your own path to your own individual success. You will leave the University with fond memories and a deep feeling of obligation to your Alma Mater. Keep that feeling with you always, let the “spirit of Miami U” be even an incentive toward your own personal goal. B°°st, boost, boost our University, remember you can render it no heater service than through your own accomplishments and through y°ur agency in building a larger student body.
^ To th
Attention is called to changes which wil become effective next Autumn, making it advisable for student to study the 1934-35 Bulletin with care before registering.
(1.) Courses of instruction will be recorded in terms of “credits” which are no longer based on semester hours but upon term hours. A credit will represent twelve hours of recitation or lecture with accompanying study, written work, tests, or laboratory practice. Each five-hour course will carry five term credits instead of the three semester earned this year, while three-hour courses will carry three credits instead of two. The ( .ajority of the science courses will carry six credits based on term hours.
Courses aggregating sixteen term credits will constitute a normal schedule for any student in the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Education, or the School of Business Administration. Regular full-time students may not carry less than twelve term credits, nor more than eighteen without the written permission of the Dean of the School in which they are enrolled.
All semester credits previously earned by students at the University will be multiplied by three halves and the total number of term credits to be earned for graduation in the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Education, and the School of Business Administration will be placed at 192, instead of at 128 semester hours as now required.
In all schools, except the School of Music, each term course will be numbered and listed separately; continuation courses will be so indicated, with reference made to the prerequisite courses which they follow.
(2.) All courses have been renumbered. Courses numbered from 101 to 200 are-primarily intended for freshmen. Courses from 201 to 300 are primarily for sopho-(Continued on Page Two)

Seventeen books that have been missing have been returned to the library to date, and with this good start it is hoped that many more will be turned in before school closes. In packing your things to go home, or cleaning up sorority rooms and fraternity houses for the summer, please watch out for library books. Many have been lost for a year or more, and no record of them is at hand. They may be placed in the box in the book store, or brought directly to the library. It is easy for books to be misplaced carelessly, and you can render a real service to the library and the students who will use it next year, by returning any of these books you find.
