172 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 22 professionally and thus are well known in their local communities, who are willing to work for the University's welfare as demonstrated by past performance, and who would serve on such a committee solely in the interests of the University and not for any faction or self-interest. This is not to be a committee of the Alumni Association, and its members will not be asked to engage in activities of that organization or of the University of Illinois Foundation, except incidentally to their work for the University. Specifically, the committee will not be called upon for solicitation of funds. It will be a general University advisory committee appointed by the President of the University, with the knowledge and approval of the Board of Trustees, somewhat of the character of the Advisory Committees of the College of Agriculture, the College of Commerce, and other divisions. T h e B o a r d a p p r o v e d t h i s p r o g r a m in p r i n c i p l e . AFFILIATION W I T H PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL A N D RUSH MEDICAL COLLEGE (38) A report of progress on the negotiations with officers of Rush Medical College and the Presbyterian Hospital looking toward affiliation with the University of Illinois College of Medicine. T h e question of the transfer of endowment assets which have been given to the University of Chicago for the support of certain activities in the Rush Medical College presents some complications. In the instance of some of these assets the gifts have been made to certain departments for specific purposes in the Rush Medical College. It is difficult, therefore, legally to make transfers to other agencies. A suggestion is made that individuals now on the Rush faculty who are benefiting from income from existing endowments in their appointment to the University of Illinois faculty be named Rush professors of the field in question. This would carry forward the name of Rush and would possibly satisfy the legal requirements. Dean Allen commented on this matter. On motion of Mr. Cleary, Dean Allen was authorized to tell the officers of Rush Medical College and the Presbyterian Hospital that in the event the Rush charter is relinquished by the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois would agree to the continuation of the Rush trustees and faculty, and, to whatever extent the members of that faculty become members of the University of Illinois faculty, they should be known and designated as Rush professors. RECOGNITION OF PROMINENT CITIZENS A N D ALUMNI (39) A statement concerning the desirability of establishing a definite and effective policy of recognition of prominent citizens and alumni. On motion of Mr. Jensen, this matter was referred to the Committee on General Policy for study and report. FIELD HOUSE ON CAMPUS (40) A statement concerning the proposal to erect a field house for athletic and other events on the campus. Director Havens was requested to confer with the Athletic Association and report to the Board.
