JANE ADDAMS GRADUATE SCHOOL O F SOCIAL WORK

(8) On recommendation of the Executive Committee of the School of Social Work and with the concurrence of the University administrative officers concerned, and of the Executive Committee of the University Council, I recommend that the name of the School be changed to the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work. The School will continue to have its headquarters at Urbana-Champaign but its Chicago activities, now housed at the Chicago Professional Colleges, will be rehoused in appropriate quarters on the new campus fit the Chicago Undergraduate Division.

Alternatively, the language requirement for admission may be fulfilled by passing an entrance examination in any foreign language which is regularly taught in the University. Le*s than one unit in a foreign language is not acceptable for admission. This change will become effective immediately. I concur.
