excellence, it is a vastly improved one as well.
We cannot measure quantitatively the benefits to the people of the State which have resulted from the development of a nationally preeminent University Medical Center in Chapel Hill. Neither can we guage precisely the part of any individual in it; fir it has been the work of many heads, and hearts, and hands. But we recognize in the solid distinction of its faculties, and of its teaching and research and results, the distinctive mark and character of Reece Berryhill.
The O. Max Gardner Award is to be bestowed upon that member of the faculty of the consolidated University of North Carolina who during the current scholastic year has made the greatest contribution to the welfare of the human race. Dean Berryhill during the current scholastic year brings to culmination a lifetime of eminence in teaching and administration and twenty-three years of labor in raising to maturity and national recognition the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. That in the long years to come the health and welfare of the State will continue to benefit from his achievement is assured by the fact that of the 541 graduates of the School who have completed their future professional training and national service approximately ninety percent are now engaged in medical practice within North Carolina.
Mr. Chairman, the Committee heartily recommends that Dr. Walter Reece Berryhill be the recipient of the Oliver Max Gardner Award for 1964.

The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the University of North Carolina met in regular session in the office of the Governor, State Capitol Building, Raleigh, North Carolina, at 10:30 o'clock, a. m. on Friday, March 13, 1964, with the following members present: Messrs.

State College Alumni proposals
Chairman Taylor recognized President Friday who introduced Mr. Edmund B. Aycock, President, Mr. Charles H. Reynolds, Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Roscoe West, Vice President, of the North Carolina State Alumni Association to be heard in connection with two proposals heretofore filed with President Friday.
Mr. Aycock then read a written statement on behalf of the North Carolina State Alumni Association.
(The written statement, together with the two proposals are on file with the Secretary and the Assistant Secretary, and copies of the same were attached to mimeographed copies of Committee minutes and mailed to all members of the Board).
Thereafter a number of questions were propounded by various members of the Executive Committee. As a result of an inquiry relating to the position of the faculty of North Carolina State, Chancellor Caldwell read the following statement from the Faculty Senate of North Carolina State of the University of North Carolina to the Visiting Committee of the Board of Trustees on November 1, 1963:
RENAMING THIS INSTITUTION
"Last spring, after prolonged negotiations and acrimonious debate, the General Assembly of North Carolina renamed this institution North Carolina State of the University of North Carolina at Raleigh.
"Selected with the best of intentions as a compromise, this name is nevertheless unsatisfactory and embarrassing to the faculty of this institution. It is neither dignified nor descriptive, and raises the question as to what the institution really is.

: "on three occasions, March 28, 1961, November 13, 1962, and January 15, 1963, the Faculty Senate has expressed its preference for either North Carolina State University of the University of North Carolina at Raleigh. Three other names were designated as acceptable at the January 15, 1963 meeting. The current name, with a comma substituted in the place of the word 'of', was rejected at that time.
"Therefore, the Faculty Senate of this institution requests the Visiting Committee of the Board of Trustees to initiate action to call together a committee, consisting of representatives of the Alumni, the Board of Trustees, the Administration, the Faculty Senate, the Student Legislature and other interested parties, to study the matter of an acceptable and dignified name for this institution. When such a name is determined, it should be presented to the next session of the General Assembly."
After the departure from the meeting of Messrs. Aycock, Reynolds and West, the matter was discussed briefly, and it was agreed that the Executive Committee would meet in special session sometime in April.
