two divisions have been transmitted separately by each Chancellor to the President. Both the old M.S.W. degree and the new B.S.W. degree offered by each division of the School are of concern to each campus senate and the senate of each campus certifies to the Board of Trustees those students who have successfully fulfilled requirements for the degrees. The relatively new doctoral program was approved by the Board of Higher Education as a joint program between the campuses. Except in this last instance, each division has been acting, in fact, as an autonomous unit with an appropriate amount of inter-campus consultation. In the light of these developments, the Chancellors have now recommended the following steps to formally decentralize the School (the changes would be effective September 1, 1974): 1. The establishment of the Jane Addams School of Social Work at UrbanaChampaign and the Jane Addams School of Social Work at Chicago Circle as administratively independent schools reporting to the respective chancellors. 2. The appointment of Professor Mark Hale, presently Director of the Jane Addams School of Social Work, as Director of the Jane Addams School of Social Work at Urbana-Champaign and the appointment of Professor George Magner, presently Associate Director of the Jane Addams School of Social Work, as Director of the Jane Addams School of Social Work at Chicago Circle. 3. The establishment of a joint faculty committee appointed by the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination in consultation with the Chancellors to advise him on the nature and extent of the interaction of the two Schools with advice as to changes, if any, which would be in the best interests of both Schools and the University. 4. A charge to the present faculty doctoral committee to recommend in 1974-75 whether the joint doctoral program is in the best interests of the Schools or whether it should be replaced by separate doctoral programs. The Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination endorses this recommendation. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r s . R a d e r , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s approved.

Change of Name, Department of Pharmaceutical Administration, College of Pharmacy, Medical Center

(17) The Board of Trustees authorized the establishment of departments within the College of Pharmacy on June 19, 1958. The departments were four in number: chemistry (now medicinal chemistry), pharmaceutical administration, pharmacognosy and pharmacology, and pharmacy. The Dean and the faculty of the College now recommend that the name of the Department of Pharmaceutical Administration be changed to the Department of Pharmacy Practice, to describe more appropriately the nature of the academic program of the Department as assigned by the faculty of the College. The Department will conduct instruction and research in clinical sciences and practice; administrative, social, and behavioral sciences applied to pharmacy; and management of pharmaceutical services. This change of name does not require the approval of the Board of Higher Education, but will be reported to its staff. The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur. I recommend approval.

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