unprofessional and unethical conduct on the part of certified public accountants holding the Illinois certificate, and to take action on each case, certifying its decisions to the Board of Trustees forfinalaction. O n motion of M r s . Ickes, this recommendation w a s approved. ALUMNI DIRECTORY (10) The Alumni Association, through its President, Mr. Glenn M . Hobbs, requests the publication of a new general directory of all alumni and former students of the University. It is estimated by the Comptroller that an edition of 4,000 copies of such a directory would cost $24,000; the estimated income from the sale of this directory at $3.00 per copy will be from $7,500 to $10,000. At best the directory will require a subsidy of $14,000 or $15,000 from the University. I am not convinced that this expenditure would be justified, unless a sufficient number of subscriptions can be received from the alumni in advance to reduce the net expense to the University to not over $10,000. If 5000 former students will subscribe in advance for this directory at $2.50 a copy, the University would then be in a position to proceed with the publication of the directory. O n motion of Dr. Noble, this matter w a s referred to the C o m mittee on Alumni for consideration and report. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR DR. ROY L. MOODIE (11) In accordance with the authority given me informally at the June meeting of the Board, I have agreed with Dr. Roy L. Moodie that he shall have a leave of absence for the academic year on one-half pay, on account of his health, he to prosecute his research in paleopathology but not to discharge the teaching and executive duties of his professorship. Doctor Moodie has agreed that if he is not able to return to his work at the end of the year, a date will be set by the University at which his connection with the University shall cease. The determination of his condition is to be made by a physician or physicians satisfactory to the Board of Trustees. I ask confirmation of this action. O n motion of D r . Noble, this action w a s confirmed.

APPOINTMENTS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE (13) The Head of the Department of Architecture and the Dean of the College of Engineering report that the enrollment in the Department of Architecture has increased to such an extent that an additional full-time instructor and an additional full-time assistant will be required, to provide for the work satisfactorily. The President has authorized the Department to secure an additional instructor at $1800 and an assistant at $1000. This is in addition to the Budget. O n motion of M r . W h a m , this action w a s approved.
