McGill University authorities were disclosed today to have agreed to a request that additional dates be arranged for Jewish students to take College Board tests which usually are given on Saturdays.
The National Joint Public Relations Committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress and B’nai B’rith reported the request had been submitted in February and that an affirmative reply had been received from W.K. Molson, assistant to the principal of the university.
The university official informed the committee that the officers of the College Board “have decided to authorize Sunday administration of the College Board tests in Canada, the Canal Zone, Mexico and the West Indies in addition to continental United States. This will be effective with the December 1961 and following test administrations.”
The official added that the change would be included in the 1961-62 College Board Bulletin of Information so that, starting next December, any student or school wishing to apply for Sunday testing would have instructions on how to do so.
