HUGHES ON UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM (4) At this point Dean Louis B. Howard of the College of Agriculture and Dr. Earl M. Hughes of the Board of Trustees addressed the Board briefly on the services in India of the University of Illinois and certain other Land-Grant colleges and universities under the International Cooperation Administration program. F o r several years the University of Illinois has had a contract with the International Cooperation Administration of the United States Department of State for services to institutions of higher education in India to assist in the development of the agricultural resources of that country. T h e University of Illinois was requested by the Chief Agriculturist for the Technical Cooperation Mission to India to send representatives to regional conferences held in January and February, 1958, in India. Dean Howard was authorized to represent the University of Illinois. Officials of the Department of State desired to include in the delegation one or more representatives aside from those selected from the faculties and administrative staffs of colleges of agriculture and preferably from governing boards of institutions participating in the International Cooperation Administration program. Because of his professional qualifications as an agricultural economist, his position on the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, and his experience as a high-level administrator of the United States Department of Agriculture, Dr. Hughes services were especially requested, and he also represented the University. One of the objectives of University of Illinois representatives was to inquire into the advisability of future cooperation by the University under a new International Cooperation Administration contract with Indian government agencies to aid in the establishment of a university patterned after the Land-Grant colleges in the United States.

The Board resumed consideration of reports and recommendations from the President of the University.
