1022 BOARD OF TRUSTEES COMMISSION ON THE SURVEY O F THE U N I V E R S I T Y OF I L L I N O I S January 21, 1943 Dr. GEORGE F. ZOOK, President American Council on Education 744 Jackson Place Washington, D. C. DEAR Dr. ZOOK: I have the honor to transmit to you herewith the report on the survey of the University of Illinois. The Commission members met in Urbana September 1 and 2, 1942, and adopted an outline for the study which was to follow. They subsequently held two other meetings in Urbana, and two in Chicago. The Commission was fortunate in securing the full-time services of Dr. John W. Taylor to work as its executive secretary. Between August 23 and December 28 he spent thirteen weeks at the University of Illinois collecting and organizing information on items as directed by the Commission. While the resolution passed by the Board of Trustees authorizing the Commission to set October 20, 1942, as the date by which the report should be completed, appointments by the members of the Commission were accepted with the definite understanding that no date of completion could be set in advance, and that the survey would probably not be finished by October 20th. The method pursued in preparation of the report has been that of interviewing administrative and teaching officers and alumni and of examining records and printed materials. Throughout its work the Commission has been extended the fullest cooperation and every courtesy on the part of all individuals from whom it sought information, with the exception of Attorney General Barrett whose statement in full in response to the Commission's invitation is included in the first chapter of the report. Respectfully submitted, R. A. KENT Chairman
