UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

545

The present name of the department, health and safety studies, is ambiguous and the safety component is no longer a departmental program. The proposed name, community health, is definitive, is professionally recognized in the field of public health, and has been unanimously endorsed by the departmental faculty. In addition, the names of degrees offered by the department will be changed as follows: From B.S. in Health and Safety Education to B.S. in Community Health From M.S. in Public Health in Community Health Education to M.S. in Public Health in Community Health From M.S. in Health and Safety Studies to M.S. in Community Health From Ph.D. in Health and Safety Studies to Ph.D. in Community Health There is no new cost involved in this proposal. The proposed redesignation has been approved by the Executive Committees of the College of Applied Life Studies and the Graduate College. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

On motion of Mr. Downey, these recommendations were approved.

Renaming of the Library to the Richard J. Daley Library, Chicago

(24) The chancellor at Chicago has recommended the renaming of the UIC Main Library to the Richard J. Daley Library. Papers and materials of Richard J. Daley, and of Richard M. Daley as they become available, will be donated to the library. Appropriately cataloged and housed in the library's special collections section, these materials will add to the reputation of the library as a resource on the political, social, economic, and cultural environment of the immediate region and will provide an invaluable resource for scholarly research on Chicago's history. This designation will recognize the late mayor's impact on the establishment of the campus as well as reinforcing the campus' urban mission. The Daley family has indicated support of this proposal. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Downey, this recommendation was approved. (Student Trustee Mitchell asked to be recorded as casting an advisory vote of " n o " on this item.)

Establishment of Quasi-Endowment, Urbana (Albert E. Jenner, Jr., Estate)

(25) Albert E. Jenner, Jr.,1 died on September 18, 1988, leaving a will naming the University of Illinois as beneficiary of a remainder interest in his estate. The amount of the bequest was approximately $400,000. The purpose of the bequest designated by the donor is to provide two professorships in the College of Law as a memorial to Dean Albert J. Harno and Professor Edward Cleary. The dean of the College of Law has proposed the establishment of two quasiendowments with all of the funds from the Jenner estate. The income would be used to support professorships in the College of Law honoring Dean Harno and Professor Cleary in accordance with the terms of the bequest.

1 Albert E. Jenner, Jr., earned a L.L.B. degree from the College of Law in 1930 and was granted an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the University of Illinois in 1991.
