This expansion of membership of the Professors in the Center is in accord with the planned expansion of the Center as a key organization in the development of interdisciplinary programs. The appointees will remain involved in the teaching programs in their respective departments, and their departments will continue to provide most of the funds to support their appointments. I have approved these appointments and request confirmation of my action.

On motion of Mr. Clement, these appointments were confirmed.

DEANSHIP OF THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, MEDICAL CENTER (4) I recommend the appointment of Dr. William J. Grove, presently Professor of Surgery on indefinite tenure and Associate Dean of the College of Medicine, as Dean of the College of Medicine, beginning March 1, 1968,1 at an annual salary of $33,000 on a twelve-month service basis. The recommendation is based upon a report from a consultative committee 3 and follows consultation with the Executive Committee of the College. Dr. Grove succeeds Dr. Granville A.
