(110 ILCS 305/10) (from Ch. 144, par. 31)
Sec. 10.
The faculty of the University shall consist of the chief
instructors in each of the several departments. The trustees, on
recommendation of a majority of the faculty, may authorize the regent of
the University to issue certificates of scholarship under the seal of the
University, to any student of good moral character, who shall have been in
attendance not less than one year, and shall have completed satisfactorily
the studies of the year; which certificate shall set forth the precise
attainments as ascertained by special examinations in the several branches
of learning studied by such student during his attendance in the
University; and on like recommendation of the faculty, the trustees may
authorize the regent, as president of the University, to issue diplomas to
such persons as shall have completed satisfactorily the required studies,
and sustained the examinations therein, conferring such literary and
scientific degrees as are usually conferred by universities for similar or
equivalent courses of studies, or such as the trustees may deem
appropriate. All certificates and diplomas shall be in the English
language, unless the student entitled to the same shall otherwise prefer.
