CENTER FOR ASIAN STUDIES

(14) The Dean and the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Executive Committee of the Division of Social Sciences recommend that there be established in the College a Center for Asian Studies to implement a program previously established for which funds have been provided in state appropriations for the current biennium (1963-65) and for further support of which the University has received a grant from the Ford Foundation covering a period of five years. A supporting, definitive statement about the organization and functions of this Center is submitted herewith and a copy is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.

This change is necessary to control enrollments in the curriculum in the Department of Art and the proposed change is directed primarily to transfer students. A program of limitations of the number of freshmen admissions is already in effect and has, in general, proved satisfactory. The proposal was previously concurred in by the All-University Committee on Admissions and has also been approved by the Chicago Undergraduate Division Senate. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved.
