BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[November 30

Colleges has interceded on behalf of medical schools not already approved (which is most of them) and has secured approval of a procedure whereby the Secretary of the Association may act for all of the medical schools not now approved provided he receives the power of attorney from such schools to act for them. I recommend that the B o a r d of Trustees authorize such representation by the adoption of the following resolution to be signed by the President and r Secretary of the Board: " T h e Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois hereby authorizes Doctor Fred C. Zapffe, Secretary of the Association of American Medical Colleges, Chicago, Illinois, to represent the University of Illinois in securing approval of its College of Medicine by the approving authorities for colleges and medical schools of the Department of Civil Service and Registration of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts." It will be necessary to provide Doctor Zapffe with a certified copy of this action signed by the President and Secretary of the Board of Trustees, together with copies of the catalogue and budget of the College of Medicine.

This matter was referred to the Committee on General Policy.
