RETIREMENT OF MEMBERS OF THE STAFF

(26) Under the rules of the Board concerning retirement, the following members of the staff are due for retirement, beginning September 1, 1929: Bevier, Isabel, Professor, H o m e Economics Brooks, Morgan, Professor, Electrical Engineering Brothers, E. D., Lecturer, Medical and Dental Jurisprudence Carman, A. P., Professor, Physics Snyder, J. C , Physical Plant Sprinkle, D. C , Horticulture McIntire, W . A., Record Clerk, Agronomy Professor Bevier requests, and Dean Mumford concurs, that she be continued in active service for one year, beginning September 1, 1929. Mr. Sprinkle, who reached the retiring age last year, and who was permitted to continue for the year 1928-29, asks to be continued for another year. H e is the night watchman in the Floriculture Division. Dean Mumford and Professor Blair recommend that his request be granted. The Supervising Architect concurs in their recommendation. Mr. Snyder, in the grounds department, will reach the retiring age on August 12, after 27 years' service. H e asks to be continued during the year 1929-30. His request is endorsed by his foreman, the Superintendent of Grounds, and the Supervising Architect. Dr. Harry Sands Grindley, Professor of Animal Nutrition, and Associate Chief of Animal Nutrition in the Agricultural Experiment Station, having reached the age of 65, asks to be retired as of August 31, 1929, under Section III, Paragraph (a) of the rules governing retiring allowances. H e has been on the staff continuously since 1894, and previous to that time he served as an assistant in chemistry in 1888-89. Dean Mumford and Professor Rusk recommend approval of his request. O n m o t i o n of M r . Trees, these r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s w e r e adopted. Director P. L. Windsor of the Library recommends that Miss Amanda Flattery, Cataloger, be put on the retired list as of September 1, 1929. Miss Flattery is 73 years old and has served on the staff continuously since November 25, 1913. She does not come under the retiring allowance system since she had not servedfifteenyears when she became 68. She has now completedfifteenyears of service. In view of her excellent and faithful service and the fact that she will soon not be able to stand the daily strain of her work, I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r s . E v a n s , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s approved. Dean Mumford recommends that Mr. W . T. Marsh, laborer in the Department of Dairy Husbandry, who was 70 years old on January 26, 1929, and who, on April 13, 1929, had completed fifteen years of service, be retired on July 1. Mr. Marsh, like Miss Flattery, does not come under the rules since he had not served fifteen years when he became 68. Moreover, our practice has been to make all retirements effective September 1. I recommend that Mr. Marsh be retired, effective September 1, 1929, in view of his service and the fact that in the work in which he is employed he is subject at his age to more than average danger of accidental injury, and it would be better to replace him with a younger man. O n m o t i o n of M r . Blair, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s approved.
