DEANSHIP OF COLLEGE OF FINE AND APPLIED ARTS AT CHICAGO UNDERGRADUATE DIVISION

(1) The Vice-President for the Chicago Undergraduate Division recommends the appointment of Leonard J. Currie, presently Professor and Head of the Department of Architecture at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, as Professor of Architecture on indefinite tenure and Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts at the Chicago Undergraduate Division for one year beginning September 1, 1962, at an annual salary of $20,000, on twelve months' service basis. This appointment has been recommended after consultation with the senior staff of the Department of Architecture and other officers of the Chicago Undergraduate Division, and with representatives of departments in the College of Fine and Applied Arts at Urbana, and has been endorsed by the Dean of the Graduate College and the Executive Vice-President and Provost. The Board of Trustees in January and February, 1961, approved recommendations relating to educational policies and plans for the organization of educational programs involved in the expansion of the Chicago Undergraduate Division into a degree-granting branch of the University, consistent with prior legislative authorization of the same. The initial educational program as approved by the Board at that time provides for the reorganization of the existing colleges and divisions into major administrative units for the new Congress Circle campus: Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Commerce and Business Administration, Fine and Applied Arts; and Divisions of Education and Physical Education. Hence the appointment of Professor Currie as Dean is in line with implementation of an authorized program. I recommend approval of the appointment.

On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this appointment was approved.
