A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board was held in Chicago on M o n day, January 28, at 5:20 p.m. There were present President J. W . Armstrong, Mrs. Laura B. Evans, and Mr. Merle J. Trees. President Kinley also was present. The following matters were presented by the President of the University and acted on: (1) Recommendation that Professor W . B. McDougall be granted leave of absence on half pay for the rest of the year. Moved by M r . Trees that the recommendation be approved and it was approved unanimously. (2) For convenience in shipping property and keeping accounts relating to the same, the W a r Department has requested that the Board designate some one as Military Property Custodian. I recommend that this title be created and assigned to the officer designated to receive property from the W a r Department and correspond with the Department with regard to the same, and that the President of the University be authorized to designate as Military Property Custodian either the Comptroller of the University or the Professor of Military Science and Tactics or some other University officer, as after further inquiry appears expedient. It was moved by Mrs. Evans that the recommendation be approved; that the title of Military Property Custodian be created; and that the President of the University be authorized to designate the proper University officer to act as such. The motion was carried unanimously. (3) O n request of Dean Mumford, I recommend that Victor M . Cain be appointed Chief Clerk in Agricultural Administration at a salary of ? 150 per month, effective January 1, 1929, and that his salary be provided for by a transfer of the necessary amount from the wages allotment of the present fiscal year to the salary budget of Agricultural Administration.
