The official joining of our two Chicago campuses — now known as the University of Illinois at Chicago—-took place September 1. T h e ease with which we passed the September 1 date masks the hard work by faculty leaders and the administration in Chicago to insure a smooth transition. There is every evidence this teamwork is continuing. In the short term, we are seeing the increased public recognition of the breadth and depth of the University's programs in Chicago. Other gains will take longer and these will come as we move ahead. T h e search committee, under the leadership of Dr. Lourenco and Dr. Lynch, is progressing with the identification of able candidates for the chancellorship in 1 University Senates Conference: Martha O. Friedman, associate professr*- of library administration and history and philosophy libtarian in the departmental libraries; Urbana-Champaign Senate Council: Barclay G. Jones, professor of nuclear engineering; Senates in Chicago: Dale Eisenmann, professor and head of Department of Histology.
