1937] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 147 case. She delayed submitting her application for this extension until provision could be made by the School of Physical Education for her work during her absence without additional expense to the University. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Williams, this leave was granted as recommended. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR ALFRED E. BADGER (5) A recommendation that Mr. Alfred E. Badger, Research Associate in Ceramic Engineering, be given a leave of absence from either September i or October I, 1937, for three months, with pay, to enable him to do certain research work in glass technology in the Kaiser Wilhelm Institut fur Silikatforschung in Berlin, Germany. The purpose of this leave is to permit Mr. Badger to do research of the same type as he is doing at the University and the technical experience gained at Berlin will benefit him in his work at the University. Mr. Badger gives his entire time to research and does no teaching. On motion of Dr. Meyer, this leave was granted as recommended. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR IVAN WRIGHT (6) A recommendation that Professor Ivan Wright, of the Department of Economics, be given a leave of absence, without pay, for the academic year 1937-1938 to enable him to do certain research work and writing in this country and abroad. Professor Wright is not requesting a sabbatical leave because he has made other arrangements to finance his travels and writing. On motion of Mr. Mayer, this leave was granted as recommended. At this point, Mr. Barr took his place with the Board. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR DEAN M. T. McCLURE (7) On September 30, 1936, Dean M. T. McClure was granted a leave of absence from October 1 to December 31, 1936, on account of his health. It now appears that he will need more time for his recovery and I therefore recommend that his leave be extended to September I, 1937, or until such prior time as he is able to return to his duties, under the same conditions, namely, with full pay but that any expense to the University due to his absence be deducted from his salary. During his absence the Executive Committee of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Professor A. B. Coble, Acting Chairman, has administered the work of the deanship. I recommend that this arrangement be continued during Dean McClure's absence. On motion of Mr. Barr, this extension of leave of absence was approved, and the arrangement for the administration of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was continued as recommended. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR CHARLES ZELENY (8) Professor Charles Zeleny, Head of the Department of Zoology, has been on leave of absence on account of his health since December 10, 1935. During the balance of the first semester of 1935-1936 he was on leave with full pay; from February 1, 1936 to August 31, 1936, and from September I, 1936, to February I, 1937, he was on leave with full pay with a reservation that any additional expense incurred by the Department in providing for his work during his absence would be deducted from his salary. The Executive Committee of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences recommends that his leave of absence be continued under the same conditions until September I, 1937, and I concur in this recommendation. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this leave was granted as recommended. RESIGNATION OF PROFESSOR HARDY CROSS (9) A report of the resignation of Dr. Hardy Cross, Professor of Structural Engineering, effective September 1, 1937. This report was received for record.
