BUREAU OF COMMUNITY PLANNING (6) T h e Bureau of Community Planning was established as a department within the College of Fine and Applied Arts in 1934 and operated as a separate department until 1954 when it was placed under the administration of the Department of City Planning and Landscape Architecture. The Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts recommends that the Bureau again be made a separate administrative unit, or department, of the College. The Dean also recommends that Professor Joseph Heikoff of the Department of City Planning and Landscape Architecture and presently Assistant Director of the Bureau of Community Planning within the Department of City Planning and Landscape Architecture, be appointed Director of the Bureau. The salary of this position will be determined when the budget for 1962-63 is submitted to the Board for approval. I concur in these recommendations, to become effective September 1, 1962.
