The Board also authorized the establishment of departments within the four colleges, to be designated later. The Chicago Undergraduate Division Senate has recommended, the VicePresident for the Division and the Executive Vice-President and Provost concurring therein, the designation of the following departments: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences: Biological Sciences, Chemistry, English, French, Geography, Geology, German, History, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Russian Languages, Sociology and Anthropology, Spanish, and Speech and Theatre. College of Engineering: Energy Engineering, Information Engineering, Materials and Mechanics, Physics, and Systems Analysis and Design. College of Business Administration: no departmental organization, but with areas of concentration in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management, and Marketing. College of Architecture and Art: Architecture, Art. Some of these departments have already been formally designated by the Board in approving appointments to headships or chairmanships but they are being reported here as a complete presentation for the record. The Senate Coordinating Council has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Pogue, this recommendation was approved.
