SPECIAL UNDERGRADUATE INSTRUCTIONAL A N D C U R R I C U L U M DEVELOPMENT AWARDS FOR PROJECTS COMPLETED DURING T H E SUMMER OF 1 9 7 3

(8) At its meetings on March 21, 1973, and April 18, 1973, the Board of Trustees approved a total of twenty-six projects, involving thirty-one faculty members, for support during the summer of 1973 under the Urbana-Champaign program of Undergraduate Instructional Awards and the Chicago Circle program of Curriculum Development Awards. These awards generally provided a full-time salary for two months to the recipients for work on projects designed to improve the quality of undergraduate instruction. (There were two awards for projects of one month's duration and one award which provided half-time salary.) In December, 1972, and again in October, 1973, the Standard Oil (Indiana) Foundation made available a total of $5,000 for special awards for outstanding teaching by undergraduate faculty — $3,000 on each occasion for the teaching awards and $2,000 on each occasion to be deposited in the President's Contingency Fund. The sum of $6,000 has been held for special awards for projects conducted during the summer of 1973. The Chancellors at the Chicago Circle and the Urbana-Champaign campuses each appointed a special committee to review the reports submitted by the grantees following the completion of their projects last summer. The committees were asked to select the most meritorious projects for recommendation to their respective chancellors. In the light of these recommendations, ten proposals were submitted to the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination for consideration (four from the Chicago Circle campus and six from the UrbanaChampaign campus). After reviewing the reports and the endorsements, the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination recommends that special awards of $1,000 be made for six of the ten projects as follows (in the instances where more than one person was involved in one project, the award will be shared by the participants) : Chicago Circle Campus
