A P P O I N T M E N T O F DIRECTOR O F DIVISION O F S P E C I A L S E R V I C E S F O R WAR V E T E R A N S (6) In accordance with the authorization of the Board of Trustees on March 14, I have approved the appointment of Dr. Sidney E. Glenn, Associate P r o fessor of English, as Director of the "Division of Special Services for W a r Veterans" under the following terms: 1. The appointment will be effective April 1, 1944, and will continue until August 3r, 1944, with the understanding that this appointment will be renewed for the academic year beginning September r, 1944. Thereafter the appointment will be on a biennial basis in accordance with the provisions in the University Statutes relating to tenure of Directors. It is customary to appoint them biennially, the terms coinciding with the fiscal biennium. T h e academic year 19441945 will be the second half of the current biennium. 2. T h e appointment as Director will be in addition to Doctor Glenn's position as Associate Professor of English on indefinite tenure. 3. T h e total annual salary rate for the two positions will be $5,000 in recognition of the additional responsibility which will go with the Directorship. I request confirmation of my action.

A P P R O P R I A T I O N F O R DIVISION O F S P E C I A L S E R V I C E S FOR WAR V E T E R A N S (7) T h e Director of the Division of Special Services for W a r Veterans has submitted the following estimates of the cost of operating the Division on an annual basis: Salaries: Director (and Associate Professor) $5 000 Senior Clerk-Stenographer I 800 $6 800 Wages 200 General Departmental Expense 1 000 Travel 300 Contingent I OOP Total $9 300 T h e Director will continue as Associate Professor on half time in the Department of English, with a salary of $2,000 for the academic year, which amount will be provided in that Department, thus making a net budget of $7,300 a year for the Division of Special Services for the current biennium. As the administrative work increases it will be necessary to relieve the Director of his teaching load and charge more of his time and salary to the Division—hence, the total salary shown here. At present a salary of $4,000 is carried in the budget of the Department of English so that during the first year there will be a saving of $2,000 in that budget. I recommend approval of this budget for the current year and for the fiscal year beginning July 1 and the academic year beginning September 1, 1944. T h e net addition to the University budget on an annual basis will be $5,300. O n m o t i o n of M r .
