UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.

for their work, and we ought to extend every reasonable facility in our power in all such cases. As Mr. Schwartz is instructor and his term of office is annual, we can not, of course, give him leave of absence in the ordinary sense of the term, but I recommend that he be appointed instructor in violin in the University for the academic year beginning Sept. 1, 1907, his salary to be fixed at the time the budget for the year 1907-08 is prepared. Voted that said recommendation be approved. 9. Assistant Professor F. G. Frink desires to resign his position as assistant professor of civil engineering, to take effect, Sept. i, 1906. It was voted that said resignation be accepted. 10. I beg leave to inform the Board that in accordance with the authority vested in me at a previous meeting, I have appointed Mr. W. A. Chase of Chicago lecturer on accountancy in the University at a salary of $400.00 for twenty lectures. 11. Professor D. T. Randall of the Engineering College has submitted his resignation, to take effect Sept. 1, 1906. Voted that said resignation be accepted.

DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES.

12. I recommend that the President of the University be given authority to offer Professor Gustav E. Karsten a professorship of German and the headship of the Department of Modern Languages in the University at a salary of $3,000.00 per year, service and salary to begin Sept. 1, 1906. This is on the understanding that the Journal of English and Germanic Philology, hitherto edited by Professor Karsten, be continued by him, be published in Urbana, be issued at least four times per year, and that it be indicated on the title page that it is published under the auspices of the University of Illinois. In case the above arrangements be made, I recommend that an appropriation of $500.00 be made for the year 1906-07 toward the support of the Journal of English and Germanic Philology, and further, that a special appropriation of $500.00 be made for the purchase of books and other necessary material for the advanced work in the Department of Modern Languages. Voted that the above recommendations be approved. DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY. 13. I recommend that the President of the University be authorized to offer Professor W. A. Noyes of Washington, D. C, a professorship of chemistry and the headship of the Department of Chemistry and the directorship of the chemical laboratory of the University at a salary of $3,500.00, salary and work to begin Sept. 1, 1906. Voted that such recommendation be accepted.

GRADUATE SCHOOL STUDENTS AND MUSIC.

14. It seems that members of the Graduate School have thus far been excluded from the privilege extended to college students in the matter of fees in the Music School. Voted that students who are residents of Illinois, including members of the Graduate School who pay the full incidental fee, will, if they are matriculated, pay for instruction in music of college g r a d e n o additional fee. 15. I recommend that Mr. Junius S. Krehbiel be appointed instructor in ceramics at a salary of $75.00 a month from Feb. 1, 1906, his salary to be charged to the School of Ceramics. Voted to approve said recommendation.
