Admissions: Class Of 2000 At Record High 626

A record 626 students have paid deposits for the Class of 2000, and summer melt could result in a class of about 580 -- about 60 more than usual -- Dean of Admissions Dan Lundquist told the faculty at its meeting on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, President Roger Hull pledged that students in the Class of 2000 will have the same experience as students in other classes, noting that the College will accommodate them in housing and course enrollment will not be larger.

The faculty elected Janet Anderson to a three-year term as senior at-large member of the Faculty Review Board. Seth Greenberg was elected a three-year at-large member of the Academic Affairs Council while Steven Sargent was elected to a one-year replacement term on the AAC. William Zwicker was elected an at-large member of the Faculty Appeals Committee. James Adrian was elected an at-large member of the Student Affairs Council.

The faculty approved the awarding of degrees to 646 students at Commencement on June 16. There are to be 514 bachelor's degrees, 137 master's, and one doctorate.

Tabled until the June 4 meeting were discussions on the Union Scholars and Ramée Scholars Program, the report of the Administrative Task Force on Teaching Credit in the Arts and Sciences, and the report on "Enhancing Intellectual Life and Academic Challenge."
