Mr. O. M. Karraker, Chairman, and Mr. E. E. Barrett, member, of the Executive Committee, were present; also Mrs. Nellie V. Freeman, Mrs. Marie C. Plumb, and Mr. H. A.

MATTERS P R E S E N T E D BY P R E S I D E N T WILLARD

The Executive Committee considered the following matters presented by the President of the University.

SALARY F O R DR. MAJOR H. W O R T H I N G T O N A S S U P E R I N T E N D E N T O F THE D I S P E N S A R Y IN THE C O L L E G E O F MEDICINE (1) On September I, 1935, Dr. Major H . Worthington, Managing Officer of the Research and Educational Hospitals, was appointed Superintendent of the College of Medicine Dispensary on one-half time, without salary. T h e Director of the State Department of Public Welfare agreed to this arrangement for the current fiscal biennium, with the understanding that at a later time the University would pay a part of his salary. T h e Director has proposed, and the Dean of the College of Medicine recommends, that beginning September I, 1937, Doctor Worthington be appointed Superintendent of the Dispensary, on one-half time, at a salary of $2,500 a year. T h e Department of Public Welfare will also pay him a salary of $2,500 for his services as Managing Officer of the Research and Educational Hospitals. I concur in these recommendations.

On motion of Mr. Barrett, this appointment was made as recommended.

LEAVES O F A B S E N C E (2) A recommendation that the following members of the staff be granted leaves of absence for the periods and under the conditions indicated in each case: 1. Professor F . W . DeWolf, H e a d of the Department of Geology and Geography, sick leave for two months from December 1, 1936, with pay, but with such deduction from his salary as may be necessary during the period of his absence to provide for his work without additional expense to the University. 2. Dr. H o w a r d Zeitlin, Instructor in Psychiatry, one year from September I, 1936, on account of illness. Doctor Zeitlin is on the clinical staff and receives no salary. 3. Dr. Marie McVey, R*esident in the Division of Anaesthesia, the month of December, without pay, on account of illness. 4. Dr. E. Muriel Poggi, Associate in Geography, an extension of sick leave on one-half pay for the remainder of the academic year. Miss Poggi was previously granted leave of absence on one-half pay for the first semester, and she now finds it will be impossible for her to return at the beginning of the second semester. 5. Professor Olive C. Hazlett, of the Department of Mathematics, sick leave from December 1, 1936, to August 31, 1937, with pay, with the provision that any additional expense to the University due to this leave will be deducted from her salary. Most, if not all, of her work will be taken care of by the Department without additional expense.
