16 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [July 12 recommend approval. T h e University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I concur. O n motion of Mr. Grabowski, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n was approved. Redesignation of the Department of Biological Chemistry; and Redesignation of the M.S. and Ph.D. in Biological Chemistry, Chicago (18) T h e senate at Chicago has approved a proposal from the College of Medicine to redesignate its Department of Biological Chemistry as the Department of Biochemistry and to change the title of its degree programs to the M.S. and Ph.D. in Biochemistry. In past years the discipline has come to use the term "biochemistry" rather than "biological chemistry" to describe itself. More formal recognition came in 1986 when the American Society of Biological Chemistry voted to change its name to the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. T h e department believes that the request for the proposed change of its name and degree programs is in keeping with the accepted nomenclature for the discipline and will assist in recognition and understanding in its recruitment efforts. T h e interim chancellor at Chicago and the vice president for academic affairs recommend approval. T h e University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I concur, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. O n motion of Mr. Grabowski, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n was approved. Redesignation of the Department of Oral Surgery; and Redesignation of the M.S. in Oral Surgery, Chicago (19) T h e senate at Chicago has approved a proposal from the College of Dentistry to redesignate the Department of Oral Surgery as the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and to change the title of the department's degree program from the M.S. in Oral Surgery to the M.S. in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. In 1947, the Department of Oral Surgery changed its name to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. T h e change was not reported to and approved by the Board of Trustees. This proposal is made to correct the omission. T h e department was 30 years ahead of its time when it adopted the name of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. In 1977, the American Association of Oral Surgeons changed its name to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in order to reflect better the scope of practice, education, and research investigations of its membership. T h e American Dental Association approved of this designation soon after, and all such departments in colleges and schools of dentistry changed their names accordingly. T h e department now seeks official approval to use the name of oral and maxillofacial surgery and to rename its degree program as the M.S. in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. T h e interim chancellor at Chicago and the vice president for academic affairs recommend approval. T h e University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I concur, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. O n motion of Mr. Grabowski, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n was approved. Redesignation and Reorganization of the College of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation; and Redesignation of the B.S. and M.S. in Physical Education, Chicago (20) T h e senate at Chicago has approved a proposal from the College of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation to change its name to the College of Kinesiology,
