BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[November 29

The death of Mr. Merle J. Trees has created a vacancy on the Executive Committee and another member, Mr. William B. Hamel, Mattoon, has asked to be relieved of service on this Committee. Accordingly, I submit the following nominations to fill these vacancies: Mr. Verle V. Kramer, Publisher, The Gibson City Courier, n i l North Sangamon Avenue, Gibson City, and Mr. Oscar G. Mayer, President, Oscar Mayer and Company, 1241 Sedgwick Street, Chicago 10.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, these appointments were approved.

TUITION F E E S (5) The Board of Trustees on October 27, 1954, voted to increase tuition fees $15 per semester in all departments of the University, effective September 1, 1955. While the Board did not take specific action as to fees charged for the Summer Session and for partial programs of work it is assumed that the increase shall be applied uniformly and shall be reflected in other tuition rates which heretofore have been based on the amount charged per semester for full programs. In the Chicago Professional Colleges, the academic year (September to June) is divided into three terms, each being equivalent to a quarter, instead of two semesters, with an optional fourth term in the summer. In order to have an official record of the changes in all other tuition fees implicit in the increase of $15 per semester, it is recommended that the following schedule be authorized: Summer Session Tuition—Urbana and Chicago Undergraduate Division (Effective beginning with the 1956 Summer Session) Present Proposed Residents $25 00 $32 50 Nonresidents 80 00 87 50 Partial Programs, Graduate College—Urbana and Chicago Professional Colleges (Effective September, 1955, for two units or less) Residents 16 00 per unit 20 00 per unit Nonresidents 44 00 per unit 48 00 per unit Partial Programs, Undergraduate Colleges— Urbana and Chicago Undergraduate Division (Effective September, 1955, eight credit hours or less) Residents 4 00 per credit hour 5 00 per credit hour Nonresidents 11 00 per credit hour 12 00 per credit hour Agriculture Short Course (Six Weeks) (Effective September, 1955) Residents 20 00 25 00 Nonresidents 75 00 66 00 The announcement for the Agriculture Short Course to be given November 29, 1954, to January 20, 1955, states that the nonresident fee is $75.00. There is no authorization for this. The nonresident fee should have been announced as ?6o.oo. It is rare for a nonresident to be registered for this course. Chicago Professional Colleges The Board action of October 27 as applied to the Chicago Professional Colleges increases tuition for each of the professional colleges $10.00 per term or $30.00 per academic year. Partial Fee Programs (Effective September 1, 1955) The present Building and Service fees and Union Building service charge assessed students registered for partial programs remain unchanged. College of Pharmacy, School of Nursing, Occupational Therapy (For twelve credit hours or less) Present Proposed Residents $ 2 50 per credit hour $ 3 50 per credit hour Nonresidents 10 00 per credit hour 11 00 per credit hour
