126 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [February 23 MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University. COMMISSION ON T H E DEPARTMENT OF DAIRY HUSBANDRY (1) A request for authority to appoint a commission to study the relations and obligations of the Department of Dairy Husbandry to the dairy industry of the State and to the State as a whole. A similar commission was authorized by the Board on January 25, 1921, and the Commission made its report on February 1, 1923, which was submitted to the Board on March 12, 1923 (Minutes, page 141). So much time has elapsed and so many changes have taken place since that Commission made its report, that it seems desirable to re-study the whole situation. On motion of M r . Barrett, the appointment of this commission was authorized. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR R. C. FUSON (2) A request from Professor R. C. Fuson of the Department of Chemistry for a sabbatical leave of absence on full pay, under the University statutes, during the first semester of 1935-36 (September 1, 1935, to February I, 1936) for the purpose of study and travel abroad. The department has agreed to take care of his regular work during his absence at no additional expense to the University. On motion of Mrs. Freeman, this leave was granted. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR ASSISTANT PROFESSOR D. P. LOCKLIN (3) A recommendation from the Dean of the College of Commerce and the Head of the Department of Economics that Assistant Professor D. P. Locklin be granted a leave of absence without pay from April 1, 1935, until the end of the academic year to enable him to accept an appointment as Principal Economist for the Interstate Commerce Commission. On motion of M r . Armstrong, this leave was granted. APPROPRIATION FOR AWNINGS (4) A recommendation that an appropriation of $3,000 be made from the General Reserve Fund, and that the Governor be asked to assign this amount from the Contingent Fund in the University's appropriation for 1933-35, I o r the partial replacement of awnings for University buildings. The repair and replacement of awnings has been kept at a minimum during recent years. Weather conditions during the spring and summer make such equipment a practical necessity. To take care of this need in a satisfactory way, $10,000 would be needed, but it is proposed that a program of replacement be carried out over a period of three years through which $3,000 would be made available now, and the remainder at intervals during the coming biennium. On motion of Dr. Meyer, this recommendation was adopted, and the appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Williams; no, none; absent, Mr. Barr, Mrs. Hopkins, Mr. Horner, Mr. Trees, Mr. Wieland. APPROPRIATION FOR RECORD SYSTEM (5) A recommendation that an appropriation of $5,610 be made from the General Reserve Fund, and that the Governor be asked to assign this amount from the Contingent Fund in the University's appropriation for 1933-35, I o r equipment for a new system of keeping records and making manuscripts therefrom in the Registrar's Office to replace the present system. The capacity of the equipment used in the present system will soon be reached and will either have to be expanded or the system replaced. The present system, when adopted in
