WAIVERS OF GRADUATE TUITION AND FEES FOR THE CHICAGO CIRCLE CAMPUS (32) In anticipation of the inauguration of gradaute study at the Chicago Circle campus in 1967-68, the Dean of the Graduate College recommends that a total of twenty tuition-and-fee waivers be authorized for graduate students at that campus. In accordance with prevailing practice at the other two campuses, students in the following categories would be eligible for such waivers: (a) holders of University fellowships; (b) holders of endowed fellowships that do not provide funds for the payment of tuition and fees; (c) recipients of tuition-and-fce awards who have no other form of financial aid. This recommendation is endorsed by the Chancellor at the Chicago Circle campus and by the Executive Vice-President and Provost. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .
