Twenty-one requests for sabbatical leaves during 1937-1938 were received from members of the teaching faculty and were submitted to the Research Board of the Graduate School for its consideration of the program of study, research, or travel contemplated in each case and its recommendation to the President. This is in accordance with the administrative procedure established by authority of the Board of Trustees for the consideration of applications for leaves of this type. One of the requests was withdrawn while the Research Board had them under consideration. In four other cases the Research Board was unable to recommend approval of leave with full pay, although it was prepared to recommend leave for one-half year on one-half pay. In one of these cases the applicant has indicated his acceptance of this alternative. T h e other three have stated that this would not be feasible. Consequently, their applications are not being recommended to the Board of Trustees. T h e Research Board has submitted a statement of the purpose for which leave is being requested in each individual case and a summary of the supporting reasons which have caused the Board to recommend approval. T h e Board has studied all of the applications very carefully in terms of the value of the prog r a m s of research or travel to the individuals concerned, as well as in terms of their value to the University.
