I952] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS I339 He is understandably desirous of returning to his duties in the College of Agriculture on a full time basis. Accordingly, I have (a) relieved Dean Hudelson of his assignments as Acting Dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration and as Acting Chairman of the Department of Economics; and (b) appointed Dean Green as Acting Chairman of the Department of Economics to serve until further notice; these changes to be effective as of February I, 1952. Confirmation of these actions is requested. As Dean Hudelson returns to his work in the College of Agriculture which he consented to relinquish a year ago, I wish to record my appreciation of his splendid service in these multiple capacities. He has carried on admirably the administrative duties of the College of Commerce and Business Administration. He has been eminently fair-minded in all his contacts, endowing them with the benefit of a wise and rich experience. On motion of Mr. Johnston, these actions were confirmed, and the Secretary was requested to express to Dean Hudelson the appreciation of the Board of his fine services and devotion to the University in the administrative posts he has held during the past year. DEPARTMENT OF PREVENTIVE MEDICINE (6) The Dean of the College of Medicine and the Vice-President in Charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges recommend that the Department of Preventive Medicine be merged with the Department of Medicine. At present the headship of the Department of Preventive Medicine is vacant, Dr. Harry F. Dowling having been appointed Head of the Department of Medicine. The evolution of the program in preventive medicine leads to its organization as a department in a school of public health. Should a school of public health be established, the return to a departmental status could be accomplished without difficulty. I concur. On motion of Mr. Fornof, this recommendation was approved. SCHOOL OF NURSING (7) The Board of Trustees has not formally established a school of nursing. However, its authorization is implicit in the existing agreement with the State Department of Public Welfare, recognizing the need for a school of nursing, and in financial provisions subsequently made for nursing education. To give official status to the School of Nursing, I therefore recommend that the Board of Trustees hereby formally establish a School of Nursing as a division of the Professional Colleges of the University of Illinois in Chicago. On motion of Mrs. Holt, this recommendation was approved. SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR NONRECURRING EXPENDITURES (8) The Committee on Nonrecurring Appropriations recommends assignments of funds as follows: 1.
