The general library at the University is open daily, except Sunday, from 8 a. m. until 10 p. m. The Public Library of the City of Champaign contains the valuable library of western history collected by Edward G. Mason, Esq., long President of the Chicago Historical Society. The collection is thus made accessible to University students. ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOLS HORACE A. HOLLISTER, A.M., High School Visitor The University employs a high school visitor, whose business is to inspect the high schools of the state. The University bears the expense of such inspection, but does not send the visitor to any school not already accredited, until a request is made for such visit, together with a report on the work of the school which shows that its course. of study is such as to merit the attention of the University. After inspecting a school the visitor reports upon it to the Council of Administration of the University, and upon approval the school is added to the list of accredited schools. Students coming to the University from an accredited school are excused from entrance examinations in those subjects which they have pursued there satisfactorily and which are accepted for admission to the University. The University accredits all work which is sufficiently well done. The schools in the list below are therefore not all accredited for the same amount of work, nor for the same subjects.
