56 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. • [Dec. £8 rshall not be given so as to conflict with each other in any way, or to hamper the work of the University. Also, that a professor taking such leave of absence shall pledge himself to remain at the University for three years after his return, at the salary which he received for the year previous to his leave of absence, and that the University in return shall agree to retain him in its service during his leave of absence and for one year thereafter. COMMUNICATIONS TO T H E BOARD OF T R U S T E E S REGARDING M A T T E R S OR A P P O I N T M E N T S . ' OF BUSINESS 18. All communications pertaining to matters of business or to appointments, to be presented to the Board of Trustees for action, shall be first presented to the president for his examination and recommendation, and such other suggestions as he may deem proper. R E P O R T S — O F DEAN,S. 19. The president of the University may in the exercise of his free discretion send to the members of the Board of Trustees in advance of meetings «uch reports or parts of reports of deans or other officers as in his judgment will be likely to aid the trustees in the better understanding of matters to •come before the board. R E P O R T S — O F M E M B E R S OF T H E GENERAL F A C U L T Y . 20. Any member of the general faculty shall report to any superior authority upon request. All communications to superior authorities, whether made pursuant to request or voluntarily offered, shall, unless otherwise specially directed, be transmitted through all intermediary officers, to the end that they may have knowledge thereof and an opportunity to comment thereupon if .they think advisable. UNIVERSITY SERVICE FOR OUTSIDE PARTIES. 21. AH persons connected with the University shall be notified that when an application is made by any outside party for any service which the University can render, they shall not say whether the University will or will not undertake to render the service, or upon what terms it can be undertaken, but that all such matters shall be referred to the president of the University and the business manager, with power to act in each case, as may to them seem wise. ATTENDING TEACHERS' ASSOCIATIONS. 22. Members of the University faculties should be disposed to attend, at least occasionally, and at their own expense, meetings of the National Educational Association and of the Illinois State Teachers' Association because of the obligations all teachers are under to sustain such associations, and the same rule should apply to attendance by a member upon a meeting of teachers of his own class held for the promotion of the particular line of work in v/hich he is engaged, because such attendance is in the interest of his own efficiency rather than of University representation. Beyond this the president of the University is authorized to determine at what meetings it seems sufficiently desirable that the University shall be represented to justify the expense thereof; that he feel free to attend such meetings himself, if he thinks it desirable to do so; and if not, that he arrange for such representation as he thinks well, and that the expense thereof be a University charge.
