APPOINTMENT OF PROFESSOR GORDON RAY AS VICE-PRESIDENT
AND PROVOST OF THE UNIVERSITY
(5) I recommend the appointment of Dr. Gordon Ray, now Professor and Head
of the Department of English, as Professor of English on indefinite tenure and
Vice-President and Provost of the University for two years beginning September
I, 1957, at a total salary of $21,000, on a twelve-months' basis, with the
understanding that this salary will be subject to adjustment upward when adjustments
of other academic and administrative salaries are in order. I also
request authorization to appoint Professor Ray on special administrative assignment
for two months during the summer of 1957 so that he may work with
Vice-President and Provost Larsen prior to taking over the latter's duties. This
administrative appointment will be at the standard summer session rate.
In considering potential candidates for this appointment, I consulted the
deans of the colleges, directors of the schools and institutes, other administrative
officers, and representative members of the faculty.
On motion of Mr. Swain, this appointment was approved.
AWARD OF HONORARY DEGREE
(6) The University Senate recommends that the honorary degree of Doctor of
Science be awarded in June, 1957, to Professor Roger Adams of the Department
of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, who will retire on September 1, 1957.
after forty-one years of active service. He served as Head of the Department
of Chemistry from 1926 until 1954 when he asked to be relieved of the headship.
Since then he has been Research Professor of Organic Chemistry.
I submit the report of the Senate Committee on Honorary Degrees in
support of its recommendation to the Senate and a copy is filed with the
Secretary of the Board for record.
On motion of Mr. Herrick, authority to confer this degree was
granted the President of the University.
ABOLITION OF DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MEDICINE
(7) The University Senate recommends that the degree of Bachelor of Science
in Medicine be abolished, effective with the class entering in the fall quarter ot
1958. This proposal originated with the faculty of the College of Medicine and
has been approved by the Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional
Colleges. It applies only to the present Bachelor of Science in Medicine degree
which is awarded routinely on completion of the second year in the College of
Medicine. Only one other institution in the country still awards this degree as
