CHANGES IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM (7) The University Senate recommends the following changes in the undergraduate curriculum in Electrical Engineering.

Illumination Engineering Option: Discontinue Mechanical Engineering, Shop. Add Economics 108, Elements of Economics.

H i c k m a n , t h e s e c h a n g e s w e r e a p p r o v e d a s recommended. REVISION OF CURRICULUM IN PHARMACY (8) The University Senate recommends a complete revision of the four-year undergraduate curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science iu Pharmacy. The changes were recommended by the faculty of the College of Pharmacy and follow the lines of recommendations of the National Curriculum Committee appointed by Dr. Edward C. Elliott (formerly President of Purdue University) who has been Director of the Pharmaceutical Survey of the American Association for Pharmaceutical Education. Because of the development of new therapeutic agents, it is desirable to modernize several of the courses in the basic sciences. The other changes represent the addition of courses in the social sciences and business administration which it is felt are desirable in the development of the pharmacist as a citizen. The faculty of the Chicago Undergraduate Division at Navy Pier will help develop these courses. All students will be required to complete the basic course of 189 credit hours and will be permitted to choose the remainder of the 202 credit hours required for graduation from electives (see Appendix, page 1250). 1 concur in these recommendations.

On motion of Mr. McLaughlin, this curriculum was approved as revised.
