120 UNIVERSITY O F I L L I N O I S . [ J u n e 27 CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS, J u n e 21, 1899. lo the Board of Trustees. Three small matteis which were overlooked by me at the recent meeting of the Board are here presented: 1. I recommend that Dr. Hopkins be given a leave of absence, at his request, for one year dating from September 1st next, without pay, in order to study agricultural chemistry in Germany; and that Mr. L. H . Smith be appointed assistant chemist to the Experiment Station at $600 for the year commencing September 1st, in accordance with the recommendation of "Professor Davenport. 2. I recommend that the unexpended balance of the $500 appropriated last year by the Board for work in food analysis in conjunction with the United States Department of Agriculture, be renewed and continued for the coming year. 3. Professor John E . McGilvrey, assistant in the department of pedagogy and High School Visitor, is unwilling to remain another year for the salary fixed by the Board upon my recommendation. The increase was but $50. Professor McGiivery has been doing excellent work in the University, and perhaps even better in the field. He has become well acquainted with the high school people and seems very acceptable to them. I dislike to have him leave our work and respectfully recommend that his salary for the next year be $1,500 instead of $1,350, as fixed at the recent session. I have pleasure in adding in this connection that Professor McGiivery has not agitated for a larger salary. He has never spokem about the matter until since the meeting offthe Board and then only to announce his desire to withdraw in view of the salary having been fixed as above indicated. At the time of the board meeting I did not* recommend the reappointment of Mr. Charles T. Wilder as instructor in photography, for he had signified to me that he did not desire such reappointment. Since then he has concluded to remain if reappointed, and I recommend that he be appointed for ten months from September 1st, at $90 per month. I am, very sincerely yours, A. S. DRAPER, President. T h e several r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s of t h e p a p e r were adopted on motion of Mr. S m i t h , a p p r o p r i a t i o n s a n d a p p o i n t m e n t s b e i n g m a d e as advised therein.
