LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR STEVENS

(11) A recommendation that Professor F. L. Stevens be given leave of absence from May 5 to October 5, 1921, to work during the summer in the Bishop Museum in Honolulu. The opportunity for the extension of Professor Stevens's already large knowledge of tropical fungi is unique, and the University will profit largely by the addition of duplicate specimens which are expected to make our collection of tropical fungi one of the finest in the world.

On motion of Mr. Noble, this recommendation was adopted.

COMPENSATION FOR MR. J. D. L A N K F O R D The following statement: On January 21, 1921, Mr. J. D. Lankford, an employee on the farm, was severely injured by a kick from a horse. The occurrence was entirely accidental. Mr. Lankford has been in the employ of the University for thirteen years and is reported to be an unusually dependable, loyal, and efficient man. He is doing well, and it is hoped that he will be able to return to work in a few weeks. The commission on compensation for injuries advises and recommends: 1. That the University pay all medical and hospital expenses; 2. That Mr. Lankford be paid his full wage for the remainder of the month of January after his injury (eleven days) and compensated thereafter at the rate of $12 a week until he is able to return to work, assuming that this will occur within a reasonable time. This proposed compensation is in harmony with the principles of the Workman 's Compensation Act. The amount that will be involved is estimated at $695.55. I recommend approval and the transfer of the necessary money from the Reserve and Incidental fund. (12)

On motion of Mrs. Blake, these recommendations were approved, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Abbott, Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Busey, Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. Hoit, Mr. Noble; no, none; absent, Mr. Blair, Mr. Herbert, Mr. Small, Mr. Trimble.
