H u g h e s announced that an executive session had been requested to consider pending litigation. Following a five-minute recess, the meeting reconvened in Executive Session. T h e President of the University presented the following recommendations. LITIGATION INVOLVING T H E ESTATE OF GEORGE H. MILLER, DECEASED (26) George H. Miller, a former employeeof the University,1 died on_August 29, 1072, leaving a will which named the University as the sole beneficiary of his estate. Pursuant to the will, Mr. James P. Martin, campus legal counsel at the Medical Center, has been appointed executorof the estate (Case No. 72 P 7741, Circuit Court of Cook County—Probate Division). The decedent's heirs are a nephew (Richard B. Miller) and two nieces (Faye Wiseman and Daisy Moore). Faye Wiseman, as plaintiff, has filed a petition to set aside the will on the grounds that (a) the decedent did not have the physical or mental capacity to make a will and (b) at the time of execution of the will the University, through its agents, exercised undue influence upon the decedent, thereby inducing and persuading him to name the University as the sole beneficiary. The University Counsel recommends that he be authorized to take such steps as are appropriate, including the employment of special counsel if he deems necessary, to protect the interests of the University in the matter. I concur, 1 Mr. Milter retired in Septemher 1969, as a Patho-Technologist, after forty-eight years of service in the Department of Anatomy, College of Medicine,
