19371 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 259 On motion of Mrs. Freeman, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Cleary, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb; no, none; absent, Mr. Horner, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Wieland. APPOINTMENT OF PROFESSOR W . S. ROBERTSON AS HEAD O F THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY (7) A recommendation t h a t Professor W. S. Robertson, of the Department of History, be appointed Head of the Department on indefinite tenure a t an annual salary of $5,500 beginning September 1, 1937, vice Professor L. M. Larson, who will retire a t the end of the present academic year. This recommendation comes from a special committee on the Headship of the Department of History and the Executive Committee of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. On motion of Mr. Moschel, this appointment was made as recommended. LEAVE O F ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR W. G. KAMMLADE (8) A request from Associate Professor William G. Kammlade, of the Department of Animal Husbandry, for a leave of absence without pay from October 1, 1937, t o July 1, 1938, to enable him to accept a temporary appointment at the Utah State College of Agriculture, substituting for a member of its faculty who will be on leave of absence. Professor Kammlade's specialty is sheep husbandry, and he desires to accept the appointment because of the importance of live stock production in western areas of the United States. Utah is one of the leading sheep and wool producing states, and this would give him an opportunity to study problems of range sheep raising and the relation which production in those areas bears to sheep raising and lamb feeding in Illinois. The Dean of the College recommends the approval of this request, and I concur. On motion of Dr. Meyer, this leave was granted as recommended.
