REIMBURSEMENT OF MR. L. S. FOOTE OF TUNNEL HILL FOR DAMAGES TO PEACH CROP (37) On recommendation of Dean Mumford and Professor Blair, I recommend the payment of $525 to Mr. L. S. Foote of Tunnel Hill for damages to his peach crop, arising from an experiment conducted by the Department of Horticulture, this payment to be made from the Contingent Fund of the Department. O n motion of M r . Barr, this payment was approved, with the understanding that this is in full settlement of all claims for damages to M r . Foote's crop from this cause. FREIGHT ELEVATOR IN ADMINISTRATION BUILDING (38) A few days ago the freight elevator in the Administration Building broke while in service. A n examination showed that further use of it would be dangerous even if it were repaired, and it is necessary to replace it. Accordingly, the Supervising Architect reports that after conferring with the Comptroller he has ordered a n e w elevator at a cost of $1,250, the contract for which has been executed by the Comptroller as a minor contract and will be so reported by him. This report w a s received for record. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR E. W. LEHMANN (39) Dean Mumford recommends that Professor E. W . Lehmann, Head of the Department of Farm Mechanics, be given a sabbatical leave of absence on one-half salary during the year 1928-29, under the rules. O n my present information, I am not clear that all conditions under which such leaves are granted will be met. Therefore, I request authority to grant this leave if further inquiry shows that Professor Lehmann's plans will conform to our rules. O n motion of M r . Trees, this authority was granted. AMERICAN BANKERS' ASSOCIATION LOAN SCHOLARSHIPS (40) The American Bankers' Association has established an educational foundation through which loan scholarships will be provided in leading colleges and universities for students in banking and economics. These scholarships will be in the nature of loans of not more than $250 to any student in a given academic year. N o interest will be charged if the loan is repaid before thefirstday of the second January following the date the student leaves the University. I have informed the Foundation that the officers of the University will be glad to cooperate with the Foundation in the event the University is one of the institutions selected to receive these scholarships.
