Wardall, H e a d of the Department of Home Economics, has been given sick leave of absence with pay from November 27 until classes are resumed on January 3. In the meantime members of the department are looking after her work. This report was received for record. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR H. C. M. CASE (11) On October 13, 1933 (Minutes, page 306), a report was made that Professor H . C. M. Case of the Department of F a r m Organization and Management was given approximately four months leave of absence without pay so that he might perform certain services for the Federal F a r m Credit Administration. H e has requested to have this leave extend to September 1, 1934, without pay, in order that he may continue. Arrangements can be made to carry on his teaching work and part of his research work in his absence by employing temporary assistance. This will involve no expense to the University since he will be on leave without pay. I recommend that this leave be granted. On motion of Mr. Barr, this extension of leave was granted. BEQUEST OF WILLIAM ROGERSON BRADLEY (12) A request from Mrs. Helen Byers Bradley, executrix of the will of William R. Bradley, who has bequeathed the sum of $5,000 to the University of Illinois Bands, for permission to defer the payment of the bequest, which will be due December 24, 1933, for a period not to exceed six months. T o make the payment at this time would require liquidating a number of investments at a considerable loss to the estate, and she is hoping that within a few months it will be possible to dispose of them without a great loss. On motion of Mr. Blair, this extension was granted.

This sewer is an auxiliary to the sanitary sewer already on the campus, the laying of which was authorized by the Board of Trustees in 1924.

This will involve a reduction of acreage, but an allowance will be received from the Government to offset in part or in full the reduced income. The contract covers the crop years of 1934 and 1935.
