The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois designated Mr. P a r k Livingston as its representative on the Committee of Delegates and authorized him to designate another member of the Board to replace him when he could not attend meetings. Since Mr. Livingston is no longer a member of the Board of Trustees, another representative should be designated. Mrs. Watkins has been attending meetings as Mr. Livingston's alternate. On motion of Mr. Herrick, Mrs. Watkins was designated to serve as delegate until appointments to the standing committees have been made.
