PROFESSORSHIPS IN ACCOUNTANCY, MEDICINE, AND SURGERY (4) Funds have been received for the establishment of professorships in accountancy, medicine, and surgery in honor of distinguished members of these professions. Weldon P o w e l l Professorship in Accountancy, Urbana Named in honor of the late Weldon Powell, the professorship is being supported, in part, by gifts deposited with the University of Illinois Foundation by former students and fellow accountants. In addition, the Haskins and Sells Foundation, established by the firm in which Mr. Powell was a partner, has offered to contribute funds in an amount equal to the total of funds received from all other contributors. Mr. Powell, who was killed in an automobile accident in November, 1965, was a graduate of the University of Illinois (B.S., 1922; M.S., 1923) and served as an Assistant in Accountancy here from 1922 to 1924. H e joined Haskins and Sells, certified public accountants, in 1924 and was admitted to partnership in 1934. Edmund F. F o l e y Professorship in Medicine, Medical Center Dr. Foley, Professor of Medicine, Emeritus, was on the faculty of the College of Medicine for forty-two years. Since being placed on Emeritus status in 1964, he has continued to teach medical students. The President of the Medical Staff and Dean of the Postgraduate School of Medicine of Cook County Hospital for many years, Dr. Foley is well known throughout the state of Illinois as a leading consultant and as a lecturer in postgraduate medical programs. Gifts from friends, students, and colleagues of Dr. Foley are being deposited in a University of Illinois endowment account. Warren H. Cole Professorship in Surgery, Medical Center Initiated by members of the Warren H . Cole Society (the Alumni Association of the Department of Surgery, Research and Educational Hospitals), the endowment consists of funds deposited with the University of Illinois Foundation by friends of Dr. Cole. Recently retired after thirty years as Professor and Head of the Department of Surgery, Dr. Cole has combined his teaching with surgery and research. H e has served as president of the American Cancer Society, the American College of Surgeons, the American Surgical Association, and numerous other associations, and has been made an honorary fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. In the case of each of these professorships, income from the gifts will furnish partial support for the salary of the incumbent. Recommendations for appointment to each position will be made in accordance with the University's regular procedures and the appointments will be reported to the Board. The first Warren H. Cole Professorship is being recommended at today's meeting. I recommend approval of the establishment of these professorships. O n m o t i o n of M r .
