70 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [November 10 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING NOVEMBER io, 1934 A meeting of the Executive Committee of t h e Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois was held at the Blackstone Hotel, in Chicago, on Saturday, November 10, 1934, during a recess of the meeting of the Board held on the same day. Mr. Walter W. Williams, Chairman, and Mr. Edward E. Barrett, a member of the Committee, were present; also Mr. James W. Armstrong and Mrs. Nellie V. Freeman, members of the Board, President Willard, and Professor Lloyd Morey, Comptroller. . MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD The Executive Committee considered the following matters presented by the President of the University. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR O. F. KAMPMEIER (i) At the June meeting of the Board of Trustees the Board approved a request from Professor 0. F. Kampmeier, Head of the Department of Anatomy, for a sabbatical leave of absence for the second half of 1934-35, a n { l the work of the Department for the second half of t h a t year was planned accordingly. Professor Kampmeier and Dean Davis had in mind a sabbatical leave on full pay for one-half year, under the rules of the Board, but in the absence of any definite specification to that effect in their letters, the leave granted was for one-half year on one-half pay. A recommendation was prepared for the July 11 meeting of the Board to change the terms of the leave from one-half pay to full pay. In the meantime Professor Kampmeier became seriously ill and the matter was held up. He has now recovered and has returned to his duties, but his medical advisers urge him to take a leave of absence for at least six months to recuperate, and especially to escape the winter this year. Accordingly, he requests, and Dean Davis approves, t h a t he be given sick leave with full pay for a period of six months from December i, 1934. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Barrett, this leave was granted. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR MISS JOSIE B. HOUCHENS (2) A report that Miss Josie B. Houchens, Binding Librarian, has been given leave of absence without pay for one month in addition to her summer vacation to enable her to teach in the 1935 Summer Session of the Columbia University Library School. This report was received for record. ACCIDENT COMPENSATION COMMITTEE (3) The University Counsel reports that the situation with respect to injured employees of the University and their right to compensation is very much confused and should be cleared up by appropriate legislation. The Legislature should be acquainted with the situation and requested to make direct specific appropriations for the purpose of compensating injured employees of the University. I recommend that a committee be appointed to study the matter and to make recommendations to the Board. On motion of Mr. Barrett, the President of the Board was requested to appoint a special committee (of which he should be a member) to consider this matter and report to the Board. President Williams appointed Mr. Barrett and Mr. Barr to serve with him on this committee. CONTRACT W I T H THE ILLINOIS UNION (4) A report that in accordance with the authority granted by the Board on July 11, 1934 (Minutes, page 2), an agreement has been entered into, effective July I, 1934,
