for the health fields. Appropriation bills covering the entire amount are now before the General Assembly. The curricula to be developed by the School of Public Health would be designed to meet the "Criteria and Guidelines for Accreditation for Schools of Public Health," as formulated by the American Public Health Association. Programs of professional study leading to degrees of Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) and Doctor of Public Health (D.P.H.) will be developed. It is expected that an entering class of twenty to twenty-five students will be admitted to the program for the master's degree for the academic year 1971-72, assuming that the degree program has been approved prior to that time by the Board of Higher Education. The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in the recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, subject to action on the proposal by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. O n motion of D r . W a l k e r , this recommendation was approved.

REORGANIZATION O F T H E COLLEGE O F N U R S I N G , MEDICAL CENTER

(17) The Dean and the faculty of the College of Nursing have recommended, and the Medical Center Senate has approved, the reorganization of the College, which is presently not departmentalized, into the following departments with assignments of functions as indicated in each case: Department of General Nursing — introductory and general nursing. Department of Maternal-Child Nursing—specialties of maternity nursing and of child health and pediatric nursing. Department of Medical-Surgical Nursing — specialties of medical and surgical nursing. Department of Psychiatric Nursing — specialties of mental health and psychiatric nursing. Department of Public Health Nursing — specialties of public health nursing and community health. Recently, because of its growth in numbers of students and faculty, the College has been operating informally on the basis of a division of responsibilities corresponding to the plan of departmental organization here recommended. The administration of the College will be more effective by formal delegation of responsibilities in specific areas of teaching and research to regularly constituted departments with a qualified head in each case. The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in the recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. O n motion of D r . Walker, this recommendation was approved.

But a separate faculty conducts a parallel program at the Chicago Circle campus, which is under the administrative jurisdiction of the Director and the legislative jurisdiction of the Urbana-Champaign Senate. (The eligible members of the Chicago faculty of the School are members of the Urbana-Champaign Senate.) The Executive Committee and the entire faculty of the Jane Addams Graduate
