Excerpt from High School Manual, Vol. 12
For more than thirty years the University of Illinois has extended to such high schools of the state as have sought approval and have been found to maintain satisfactory standards of instruction the privilege of entrance to the university on certificate of such of their graduates as might seek admission.
The basis for granting such privilege to high schools has been visitation and inspection. For the past nineteen years this has been through a special officer of the University whose title is that of High School Visitor. Previous to that time it was done through committees of the faculty.
In this work of visitations for the purpose of establishing the accredited relation between high schools and the University the aim has been to aid the high schools, in a constructive way, to develop their normal functions toward the communities which they serve. To further this purpose in more recent years annual conferences have been held. To the same end the University has also sought to cooperate with school authorities in counties in such a manner as to bring about better standards of high school work in villages able to maintain only two or three years of high school work.
The following information in regard to entrance requirements, standards required for accrediting, and the material equipment of schools has been compiled for the purpose of furthering the ends and aims as above mentioned. This manual is for the use of school superintendents and principals, and school boards.
