(4) The Dean of the College of Pharmacy recommends the following appointments to the Advisory Committee of that College:

PAUL S. SANG, Vice-President of Humiston-Keeling and Company, wholesale

druggists, Chicago, for five years (July 1, 1951, through June 30, 1956) as replacement for Mr. Thomas G. Crawford whose term has expired. HARRY E. LEVIN, President of the Illinois Pharmaceutical Association, to serve during his term as President of that organization; this is an ex officio appointment. I concur.

On motion of Mrs. Watkins, these appointments were approved.

ADMISSION T O T H E COLLEGE O F MEDICINE

(5) The Committee on Admissions to the College of Medicine has recommended adoption of the following statement of policy governing admission of students to that College. In determining the priority of admission of an applicant to the Chicago Professional Colleges the Committees on Admission shall take into account the nature and apparent permanency of his residence in this state, the residence of his parents, and all other factors which are relevant in making the facilities of the Chicago Professional Colleges available first to the young men and women of Illinois. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Herrick, this recommendation was approved.

DEGREES IN VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE

(6) On June 30, 1045, the Board of Trustees authorized the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Vocational Agriculture and of Master of Science in Vocational Agriculture. The Council on Teacher Education, the College of Agriculture, and the Provost-recommend that the names of these degrees be changed to Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Master of Science in Agricultural Education. I concur.

On motion of Mrs. Holt, this recommendation was approved.

D I S C O N T I N U A N C E O F C U R R I C U L U M LEADING TO DEGREE O F BACHELOR O F SCIENCE IN LIBRARY SCIENCE

(7) The faculty of the Library School and the University Senate recommend discontinuance of the curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Library Science. The curriculum in library science is now at the graduate level leading to the degree of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. The majority of students intending to do graduate work in library science prefer completing their undergraduate work in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences or the College of Education, taking the necessary undergraduate courses in library science as electives. Students already enrolled in the curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Library Science will be permitted to finish, but when this curriculum is discontinued, no new students will be admitted to it. This proposal will not discontinue any courses of instruction in library science. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Fornof, this recommendation was approved.
