This bulletin is a compilation of the standards for accrediting the higher educational institutions employed by the chief standardizing agencies and of the lists of institutions accredited by each agency. It is a periodical publication. Since the first issue in 1917, edits have been issued approximately every 4 years. The purposes of its publication are to assist university and college officers in evaluating transferred credits, to aid State department education officers in checking teachers' credentials, and to afford college and high-school students a guide to recognized institutions. In order to serve these, the bulletin purposes must be issued with sufficient frequency to take account of the changes that occur from time to time in the standards and accredited lists. The last edition was issued in 1930. An index is included. (Individual chapters contain footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
