I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . J o h n s t o n , t h e s e c e r t i f i c a t e s w e r e a w a r d e d . DEANSHIP OF T H E GRADUATE COLLEGE AND VICE-PRESIDENT FOR RESEARCH (2) On the unanimous recommendation of a committee appointed to make nominations for the position of Dean of the Graduate College, and after consultation with the Executive Committee of the College, I recommend the appointment of Dr. Frederick Seitz, Professor and Head of the Department of Physics, as Dean of the Graduate College. I recommend further — after consultation with the Academic Advisory Council and the Executive Committee of the Graduate College— that the Board establish a new position with the title "Vice-President for Research," and that Dr. Seitz also be appointed to that office. T h e great expansion in the University's research activities in recent years — especially through support provided by outside agencies — has created a growing need for greater administrative attention to the problems related to the coordination of these activities with other University functions. In his role as Vice-President for Research, Dr. Seitz would: (a) study the needs of the University for the support of research in all areas; (b) assist faculty members and departments in securing the resources needed for their research; (c) conduct a continuing appraisal of the impact of outside support of research upon graduate study and upon the remainder of the University's research p r o g r a m ; (d) make policy recommendations to the President concerning the quality, balance, and long-range directions of the University's overall research program. It seems highly desirable to associate these important tasks closely with those presently assigned to the Dean of the Graduate College. Under the University's Statutes, the Dean of the Graduate College now has important responsibilities for research administration, primarily in relation to the functions of the University Research Board and certain special research units located in the Graduate College. Furthermore, most of the research programs conducted in other colleges and divisions are closely related to the education of graduate students, and are most fruitful when associated with graduate study. In order to assure that close coordination and mutual reinforcement be maintained among these research and educational activities, it seems best to create the kind of dual position proposed for Dr. Seitz. The total salary for the combined positions will be $29,600 for the calendar year (eleven months of service and a month of vacation with pay).
