APPOINTMENT OF DR. ERIC A. FENNEL (33) On recommendation of Dean Davis, I recommend that Dr. Eric A. Fennel, formerly pathologist of the clinic at Honolulu, T. H., be appointed Associate Professor of Pathology and Bacteriology at an annual salary rate o£ $4,500 from October 1, 1928, to April I, 1929. O n motion of M r . Barr, this appointment was made. APPOINTMENT OF MISS RUTH MARY KELLOGG (34) O n recommendation of the Dean of the College of Agriculture, I approved as an emergency matter the appointment of Miss Ruth Mary Kellogg as Assistant Professor of H o m e Management in the Department of H o m e Economics, for one year from September 1, 1928, at a salary of $3,000. O n motion of Dr. Noble, this appointment was made. RETIREMENTS (35) Under the rules of the Board, the following members of the staff retired on September 1, 1928, provision for their retiring having been made in the budget : Dan Meneely, physical plant employee, age 68, on July 27, 1928, length of service twenty-one years. Sell Hamlin, physical plant employee, age 68, January 16, 1928, length of service twenty-three years. This report w a s received for record. PETITION FOR VACATING PART OF HARVEY STREET (36) The Supervising Architect recommends, and I concur, that the City of Urbana be petitioned to vacate that portion of Harvey Street extending 311.5 feet south of the Illinois Traction Company's right of way, inasmuch as the University owns all the abutting property and there seems no likelihood that the street will ever be opened south. This street divides the property used by the University for coal storage, and i is desirable to enclose the space with a cont crete wall along the north property line. O n motion of Dr. Noble, this recommendation was adopted. SALE OF MEYERS HOUSE ON GREGORY AVENUE (37) O n recommendation of Professor White, I recommend that the Meyers house be sold to the highest bidder for removal and that the Comptroller and Professor White be authorized to call for bids and sell the house to the highest responsible bidder. O n motion of Mrs. Evans, this recommendation was approved. GREEN STREET PAVEMENT (38) The City of Champaign has recently re-surfaced Green Street to Wright, and the question arises whether the University will improve Green Street through its property. In view of the many factors involved, I am not prepared now to recommend an appropriation for the repaving of Green Street, but do recommend that the whole matter be referred to the Committee on Buildings and Grounds for consideration and report, if possible, at the next regular meeting of the Board. O n motion of M r . Trees, this matter was referred to the C o m mittee on Buildings and Grounds for consideration and report, if possible, at the next meeting of the Board. PROPOSED AGREEMENT WITH THE ILLINOIS POWER A N D LIGHT C O R P O R A T I O N (39) Professor White submits a proposed agreement with the Illinois Power and Light Corporation to furnish the University with electrical power.
