RADIO STATION W - l - L - L (1) A communication from the Director of Radio Station W - I - L - L concerning the application of the Station to the Federal Radio Commission for an increase in daytime power. On motion of Mr. Barr, the Secretary was instructed to send a telegram concerning this matter to Judge E. O. Sykes, Chairman of the Federal Radio Commission. APPOINTMENT OF DEAN H. W . MUMFORD AS DIRECTOR OF THE FEDERAL LAND BANK OF ST. LOUIS (2) A report that Dean H . W. Mumford of the College of Agriculture and Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station has been appointed a Director of the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis. I have authorized him to accept this appointment and to be absent from the University to render the necessary service. There is no salary connected with this position, the reimbursement being confined to a per diem for attending Board meetings and necessary expenses. On motion of Mr. Blair, this report was received for record and the action of the Acting President was confirmed. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR ASSISTANT PROFESSOR L. J . NORTON (3) A report that Dr. L. J. Norton, Assistant Professor of Agricultural Economics, has been given approximately four months' leave of absence without pay, beginning when he receives his official appointment and continuing until January 15, 1934, to enable him to do field work for the Federal F a r m Credit Administration in some of the western states. Provision has been made for his University work so that there will be n o loss in quality nor added expense. O n m o t i o n of M r . B l a i r , t h i s a c t i o n w a s c o n f i r m e d . LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR H. A. RUEHE (4) A report that Professor H . A. Ruehe, H e a d of the Department of Dairy Husbandry, has been absent from his office since August 7 because of illness and it is uncertain when he will be able to return to work. In the meantime his duties are being carried on by his colleagues without additional expense to the University. I recommend that he be given leave of absence with pay from August 7 until such time as he is able to return to his duties but not later than January I, 1934. If any further action is necessary after this date the matter will be brought to your attention. O n m o t i o n of M r . W i l l i a m s , t h i s l e a v e w a s g r a n t e d . BUDGET OF AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION (5) At the time the budget for the College of Agriculture and the Agricultural Experiment Station was under consideration, it was decided that the sum of $2,000 should be added to cover the printing of the 1932-33 annual report of the Station. It will be printed in 1933-34. This report is required by State law. No definite provision has been made heretofore in the budget for this expense which has either been charged to contingent funds of the College and Experiment Station or provided for by special appropriation of the Board. Through a clerical oversight in the Business Office this item was not added to the budget of the Experiment Station. T h e working papers clearly indicate that this item was approved by President Chase. Accordingly I recommend that it be added to the 1933-34 budget. On motion of Mrs. Freeman, this recommendation was adopted, and the appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr.
