908 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [November 23 training and physical education, and (4) the name of the degree be changed from Bachelor of Science in City Planning to Bachelor of Urban Planning. The master's degree will be changed to Master of Urban Planning. Submitted herewith is a supporting memorandum giving the details of the proposed revision of the city planning curriculum, and a copy is being filed with the Secretary of the Board. T h e present city planning curriculum was established in 1953 and was revised in 1957. The proposed changes provide a more flexible program, full compliance with the general education requirements approved by the Senates and the Board of Trustees, and will also provide improved professional and supporting course work. Professional courses will be concentrated in the junior and senior years since many of the students enrolled in this curriculum are transfers from other curricula. T h e proposed degree of Bachelor of Urban Planning is recognized by the American Institute of Planners as evidence of a professional education and qualifies the graduate for membership in professional organizations. The proposed program will add three new courses not now offered and will drop one course and part of another. T h e Senate Coordinating Council has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. All these changes are to become effective September 1, 1964. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Williamson, these recommendations were approved.
