1956] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 989 BUSINESS PRESENTED BY THE PRESIDENT O F THE UNIVERSITY The Board took up consideration of the following reports and recommendations from the President of the University. DEANSHIP O F T H E COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE (1) Dean Robert Graham of the College of Veterinary Medicine will retire from active service at the end of the current academic year. T o fill this position I recommend the appointment of Dr. Carl Alfred Brandly, presently Professor of Veterinary Science and Bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin, as Professor of Veterinary Microbiology and Public Health on indefinite tenure and Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine for one year at a salary of $17,000 a year on a twelve months' service basis ( A Y ) . I further recommend that the appointment as Professor be effective August I and as Dean, September 1, 1956. A special committee appointed to search for available and qualified candidates for this position has unanimously nominated Dr. Brandly. T h e Executive Committee of the College, the Provost, and the Dean of the Graduate College have also been consulted and concur in this recommendation. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Nickell, this appointment was approved. HEADSHIP OF THE DEPARTMENT O F ART (2) The Dean and the Executive Committee of the College of Fine and Applied Arts recommend the appointment of Professor James R. Shipley of the Department of Art as Head of the Department on indefinite tenure effective immediately. This nomination is made after consultation with the members of the Department of professorial rank and is concurred in by the Provost and the Dean of the Graduate College. On June 21, 1954, the Board of Trustees approved a change in the departmental organization from a headship to a chairmanship for the academic year 1954-55. Professor Shipley was appointed Acting Chairman of the Department beginning September 1, 1955, and the chairmanship organization was continued for another year. Since this was a temporary change in organization, no action is necessary, but it should be noted for the record that the Department of Art requests that it revert to the headship organization. The salary of this position will be determined when the budget for 1956-57 is presented to the Board, but I recommend approval of the appointment as Head of the Department to become effective as of today. On motion of Mr. Herrick, this appointment was approved. CHANGE IN ORGANIZATION OF DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY (3) Professor F . C. Dietz, Head of the Department of History, will retire from active service at the end of the current academic year. The faculty of the Department has voted to recommend a change in departmental organization from a headship to a chairmanship as of September 1, 1956. This is permissive under the University Statutes and is concurred in by the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The Dean also recommends the appointment of Professor Joseph W. Swain as Chairman of the Department for one year from September 1, 1956. This recommendation has been made after consultation with the Executive Committee of the College. T h e salary of the position will be determined when the budget for 1956-57 is presented to the Board of Trustees. I concur in these recommendations. On motion of Mr. Swain, these recommendations were approved.
