These programs va.ll include essentially the same course work and preliminary examinations required of doctoral students -with the exception of a dissertation. Admission requirements and grade requirements are the same as for doctoral students. Colleges wishing to offer programs leading to a Diploma for Advanced Graduate Study should first submit pro posed programs to the Graduate Council for approval. !Diploma for Advanced Gr« Study app. It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve this recommendation from the University Faculty. Establishment Pood Science 17. Recommendation from Dean Cowden for the establishment of the Department of Food Science in the Dept. app. College of Agriculture to become effective as soon as a head for this department is appointed. The transfer of personnel and existing departments in the College of Agriculture and other required budgetary changes will be presented for approval at the time that the appointment of a head of the new department is recommended. Dean Cowden had lunch with the Board to discuss this matter. l8. The Council of Deans recommends that: Certain positions now filled by individuals with academic rank , under the tenure system, in the future will be filled by the appointment of specialists or special instructors not subject to the tenure system as such, but still Board appointed. HLtle; Specialists j and Special \ Instructors [approved These specialists or special instructors will be appointed for 2-year periods. When they are appointed for the fourth such period, they may be given job security with the approval of those officials responsible for the granting of tenure. This means that as long as the function which they are performing satisfactorily remains a part of the University's program, they will be assured security in this position. These specialists will have all faculty privileges accorded to instructors, but will not be required to meet the degree criteria considered essential before tenure is granted. People now in positions which later will be classified in this category m il be given a choice of retaining their present title and subjecting themselves to the criteria of the tenure system, or will be permitted to transfer to the new category. This applies, only to on-campus. academic personnel. 19• Communication from the American Legion, Department of Michigan: Communication American Legion re: E.O.T.C. WHEREAS, the College level ROTC programs of the colleges and universities of America have contributed greatly to the strength of our Armed Forces, and WHEREAS, the economic factor of the cold war between ..the Free World and the forces of the Communist conspiracy demand that we conserve our resources, and WHEREAS, the College ROTC programs are an established means of providing trained leadership for our reserve components, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that The American Legion, Department of Michigan in convention assembled in Grand Rapids, Michigan this 19th day of July 1, 1959 does oppose any effort whatever to reduce or eliminate the ROTC programs of Michigan colleges and universities, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that The American Legion, Department of Michigan does advocate and encourage the expansion of existing ROTC programs in the universities and colleges of Michigan to the end that more young men and women may be given the opportunity for training and service in the Reserve Components of our Armed Forces. 20. Communication from General Lemnitzer, Chief of Staff of the United States A m y: The indication that certain land grant colleges and universities are seriously con sidering placing basic ROTC instruction on an elective basis rather than retaining the compulsory basis is a matter of grave concern to me. The Army has historically placed great reliance upon the ROTC program as a primary source for its officer personnel. In time of emergency, these young officers constitute the main source of the skilled and trained leadership necessary for our company grade officers. In these uncertain times, we cannot afford the leisure of waiting until an emergency occurs to start preparing for it. Unless young leaders of the caliber produced through the ROTC programs in our colleges and universities are immediately available in the event of an emergency, the Army*s mobilization readiness will be seriously impaired. An important aspect of the ROTC program is to make the youth of America aware of the danger and threat that Communism presents to the Free World. By participating in the military program when he is young, the student recognizes a continuing patriotic obligation to his country. This motivation acquired at an early age prepares him psychologically and otherwise for military service to his nation. The discipline and training that he receives through the ROTC program not only prepare him for better service to his civilian community and his country, but also could, in fact, save his own life in time of emergency as well as C ommunication from Chief of Staff of U.S. Army re: R.O.T.C. ADDITIONAL ITEMS, continued Miscellaneous, continued 20. Communication from General Lemnitzer, continued: November 19, 1959 the lives of the many others that he must lead. To be responsive to the requirements of military leadership a man must be trained. It is this training which the Army ROTC program provides. The ROTC program today also provides a vital source of officers for all components of our peacetime Army. It is a fact of utmost significance that almost two-thirds of the officers presently on duty in the Active Army are Reserve officers, originally commissioned in the Army Reserve and National Guard. Each year the regular component of our Active Army acquires some of its most promising officers from the distinguished graduates of our colleges and universities. These fine officers in most instances elect to make their careers in the military profession as a result of the training received in the ROTC program. The diversity of sources of personnel for our Regular establishment is a matter of fundamental importance in the design of the defense structure of our nation. For these reasons and many others, I earnestly suggest that your fine University continue its staunch and patriotic support of the ROTC program in these tremendous and critical days in the defense of our nation. 21. A report on the explosion and fire that occurred in the Kedzie Chemical Laboratory on the evening of October 29. Three students: Harlo Mork, Philip Shreiner, and Filimore Freeman, were seriously injured. Harlo Mork died on November 18. Freeman is still hospitalized.

All farm machinery, crops, etc. passed to the life tenants and thereafter to the University. Whether this devise is advantageous to the University may be of interest to the Board of Trustees.
