BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 22

struction for these persons as they presently do for others who are employed in secondary schools. . . . " These recommendations have now been cleared by the University Council on Teacher Education, the Graduate College, and the Colleges of Education and of Commerce and Business Administration. Bachelor's degree graduates in Business Education desiring to earn a Master's degree may either study in a related discipline or enter a professional program in the College of Education. Most of the former will probably enter a graduate program in the College of Commerce and Business Administration. Most of the latter group will enroll for graduate work in the Department of Vocational and Technical Education. The Urbana Senate has approved the discontinuance of the Master of Science Degree in Commercial Teaching. The Chancellor at Urbana and the Executive Vice President and Provost support this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has advised that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. O n motion of Dr. Walker, this recommendation was approved.

MCKINLEY HEALTH C E N T E R

(22) On the recommendation of the Executive Committee and the Director of the Health Service, the Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus recommends that the names of the Health Center and McKinley Hospital be consolidated to be called "McKinley Health Center." The current titles cause confusion for persons seeking the assistance of the Health Service and imply that there are two separate operations when, in fact, the Health Service is a single unit. The hospital will continue to be identified as the McKinley Hospital and will be a part of the McKinley Health Center. I concur, O n motion of M r . Swain, this recommendation was approved.
