The Board of Regents and Dr. Frank P. Graves, New York State Commissioner of Education, have ruled that credits for Bible study by high school students shall be given under certain regulations. This ruling applies to all faiths and to all schools licensed by the regents.
The rules provide: “Under such regulations as the president of the university may approve, credit toward an academic diploma may be granted for work done by pupils of registered secondary schools outside of such schools in subjects in which regents examinations are not regularly held.”
