BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 29

This resulted in an inventory of needs totaling $411,000,000, much of which was to come from sources other t h a n state appropriations. It should be noted that housing and other self-supporting activities are included. Careful analysis, reduction of standards to the minimum considered satisfactory, and increasing somewhat t h e Chicago Undergraduate Division program, resulted finally in the ten-year totals of Table I. The next step in the procedure was to request each dean to list the projects of his college in relative order of need. This priority consideration by the colleges assisted the Committee in arriving at its recommendations for the 1959-61 biennium. It was necessary, however, to develop the planning policies before the Committee could make final priority separations among the wide variety of needs. T h e basic planning policy is simple and comprehensive. It rests upon the premise that the University of Illinois is an instrument of the people of the state and t h a t it should be devoted: (1) to the education and training of youth; (2) to research designed to add to the store of knowledge in all the fundamental fields of learning; and (3) to render those services, for which it is particularly suited, to various segments of state's life such as agriculture, industry, commerce, and government; all to the ultimate end t h a t the University shall contribute to civic health and economic prosperity, and to t h e enrichment of the lives of its citizens. T h e planning assumptions upon which the program for each of the campuses has been developed are listed in the Appendix.
