COLLEGE OF EDUCATION BUILDING (29) The Dean of the College of Education and its Executive Committee recommend that the new building for the College now under construction be officially designated as "The College of Education Building." I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r s . W a t k i n s , t h i s n a m e w a s a p p r o v e d . ILLINI GROVE (30) A group of residents of Urbana-Champaign have submitted a petition addressed "To the President and the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois" that Illini Grove "be maintained in its present condition as a beautiful wooded area for use by the students, faculty, and alumni of the University and the citizens of Urbana-Champaign for recreational purposes," and that in the event a change in the use of Illini Grove is contemplated, they be given an opportunity to appear at a meeting of the Board of Trustees. I submit the petition, as requested. In replying to those representing the petitioners, I have pointed out that there is no formal recommendation before the Board for the use of Illini Grove as a building site in the near future or for any change in the present use of that facility. The petition has already been answered and no further action is required.
