BOARD O F TRUSTEES

[June 23

ology, as Professor of Bacteriology on indefinite tenure and Director of the School of Life Sciences for two years from September I, 1959. This recommendation is supported by the faculties of the departments in the School, the Executive Committee of the College, the Dean of the Graduate College, and the VicePresident and Provost. F o r the time being, Professor Halvorson will continue to serve as Head of the Department of Bacteriology. The salary of his position as Director will be determined when the budget for 1959-60 is submitted to the Board of Trustees for approval. I concur in this recommendation.

On motion of Mr. Hughes, this appointment was approved.

APPOINTMENTS OF ASSOCIATE DEAN OF STUDENTS A N D DEAN OF M E N

(6) An inevitable consequence of the increasing enrollment is the need for additional administrative, as well as teaching, staff, and this has been reflected in the Office of the Dean of Students. It is necessary for this office to have additional staff to maintain its normal services to students. Formerly the organization of the Dean of Students Office included the position of Associate Dean of Students, but this has not been filled for five years and was, in fact, discontinued. The Dean of Students recommends the appointment of Mr. Edward E. Stafford, now Dean of Men, as Associate Dean of Students for two years, effective September 1, 1959, at an annual salary of $12,000. Mr. Stafford has demonstrated special abilities in working with groups and in public functions areas with which the office is associated. H e can give needed service in this new position, relieving the Dean of Men of certain group functions and the Dean of Students of other work which would be assigned to the Associate Dean's position. The Dean of Students also recommends the appointment of Dr. Carl W . Knox, presently Dean of Men at Miami University, as Dean of Men for two years from September I, 1959, at an annual salary of $12,750 (on BY basis). Mr. Knox is a former member of the University of Illinois staff and has had wide experience in personnel work at other universities. I concur in these recommendations. O n m o t i o n of M r .

Browne leaves a vacancy in the faculty membership of the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association. To fill this vacancy, I nominate Dr. Leslie A. Bryan, Professor of Management and Director of the Institute of Aviation, the appointment to become effective immediately, to serve until the next annual meeting of the Board in March, i960. Director Bryan has also been appointed faculty representative of the University of Illinois in the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives, a post which Dean Browne held for many years.

CLINICAL CURRICULUM IN COLLEGE OF MEDICINE (8) The Chicago Professional Colleges Senate recommends authorization of a revised clinical curriculum in the College of Medicine which will add an additional quarter, effective for the summer quarter of 1961, to the present program. Objectives of the Proposed Curriculum 1. Provide an opportunity for further development of the clerkship programs during the third year by reorganizing the clinical lecture program so that the average working day on the wards is no longer limited by 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. lectures. This distribution of lectures has made it impossible for students to participate effectively in surgical procedures, obstetric deliveries, early-morning ward rounds, and the management of the acutely ill patient. 2. Provide opportunities for students to observe the course of patients' illnesses over longer periods of time, particularly in the outpatient departments. 3. Maintain the current student-instructor ratios in the outpatient departments and elsewhere, in spite of increased enrollment in the College of Medicine effected in 1956 and 1958.
