BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June ii,

versity of Illinois since 1891. I recommend that he be retired from active service as of September 1, 1918; given the title of Professor, Emeritus; and granted a retiring allowance of $1900 a year, which allowance is determined according to the Carnegie formula—one-half the active pay, plus four hundred dollars. A professor in the emeritus relation is excused from regular duties in the University, tho he may be assigned, with his consent, to do such work as the President of the University may consider desirable. Such a professor is an honorary member of the department of which he was an active member and of the faculty and of the various University bodies in general to which he belonged. He has, however, no vote. He is also given the privilege of using the University museums and other facilities of the University on the usual terms.

On motion of Mr. Carr, this recommendation was approved, and the President of the University was requested to extend to Professor Moss the thanks of the Board for his long and devoted service to the institution.'
