8 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [Juty 26 This implies no change in administration but only that the titles of some of the staff will be changed. On motion of Mr. Swain, this change was approved. CHANGES IN NAMES OF DEPARTMENTS IN COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY (13) The Dean of the College of Dentistry, with the concurrence of the Acting Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges, recommends changes in departmental names, effective September 1, I960, as follows: Department of Crowns and Fixed Partial Dentures to Department of Fixed Partial Prosthodontics; Department of Full and Removable Partial Dentures to Department of Prosthodontics; Admitting Clinic to Patient Admissions; and Department of Postgraduate Studies to Department of Postgraduate Education. These changes are consistent with current nomenclature recommended by the American Dental Association and in use in a majority of dental colleges in the United States and Canada, Conformity makes communication with the various universities more effective and precludes the need of explanations. I concur. O n motion of Mrs. Watkins, these changes were approved. EXTENSION OF COUNTY SCHOLARSHIPS (14) The Board of Trustees has previously authorized additional University tuition scholarships, supplementing County Scholarships in the larger counties, to be awarded on the basis of one scholarship for each 50,000 population or fraction thereof, based on the 1950 census. The I960 census shows a number ol counties with increased populations so that an increase in the number of these scholarships is in order. Accordingly, on recommendation of the Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, I have authorized an increase in the number of University scholarships supplementing County Scholarships as follows: Cook Countv, from 90 to 109; DeKalb County, from 1 to 2; DuPage County, ftom 4 to 7; Kane County, from 4 to 7; Lake County, from 4 to 6; Macon County, from 2 to 3; Madison County, from 4 to 5; St. Clair County, from 5 to 6; Whiteside County, from 1 to 2; Will County, from 3 to 4; Winnebago County, from 4 to S. This is consistent with the formula adopted by the Board and I report it for record, requesting confirmation of my action. On motion of Mr. Wilkins, the President's action was confirmed. TUITION AND FEE WAIVERS IN T H E GRADUATE COLLEGE (15) The Board of Trustees has previously authorized 450 tuition and fee waivers a year to be awarded to graduate students. The Dean of the Graduate College originally requested 500 but this allotment was reduced to 450. It is clear now that the allocation of 500 originally requested is required to meet all of the legitimate ueeds of the Graduate College. However, this will not result in an increased cost to the University, becanse the additional tuition and fee waivers will be offset by a reduction in the number of staff members eligible for exemption^ from tuition fees under the uew rules adopted by the Board at the time the tuition and fee waivers were authorized, I recommend authorization of the additional fifty tuition and fee waivers for graduate students. On motion of Mr. Hughes, this recommendation was approved. FLIGHT-TRAINING FEE (16) The Director of the Institute of Aviation and the Committee on Fees recommend an increase in the flight-training fee from $300 to $325 each semester. The flight-training program was set up as self-supporting, and the increase is necessary to cover the increased costs of instructional operations. I concur. On motion of Mr. Johnston, this change in fee was authorized.
