1937] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 273 may go abroad this summer and visit a number of Shorthorn and Aberdeen Angus herds in Scotland in the interests of the Department. On motion of Mr. Mayer, these leaves were granted as recommended. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR P. G. KRUGER (6) A request from Associate Professor P . G. Kruger, of the Department of Physics, that his sabbatical leave of absence on one-half pay for the year 19371938 be cancelled. H e had planned to spend the year at the University of California in Professor E. O. Lawrence's Radiation Laboratory, but has recently learned that the construction of certain equipment for that laboratory which he had planned to use has been delayed, and this would limit his activities. Professor Kruger expects to submit another application for leave of absence later. On motion of Mr. Pogue, this leave was cancelled as recommended. LEAVE O F ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR F. P. SHEPARD (7) Associate Professor F . P . Shepard, of the Department of Geology and Geography, has been given a leave of absence on one-half pay during the second semester of 1937-1938. H e has requested an extension of this leave to include the first semester without pay, so that he may have more time for the scientific work he is planning to do, which includes investigations of submarine canyons and other oceanographic studies in the Pacific Ocean. H e has received a grant of $10,000 from the Geological Society of America to aid in his researches. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Mayer, this leave was extended as recommended. RESIGNATION OF PROFESSOR CHARLES L. ALLEN (8) Associate Professor Charles L. Allen, of the School of Journalism, has accepted an offer from Rutgers University as Professor of Journalism and Head of the Department and Executive Secretary of the New Jersey Press Association, effective September, 1937. Professor Allen has been on sabbatical leave of absence on one-half pay during the current university year and he requests release from the obligation, as provided in the University Statutes, that a member of the faculty to whom a leave has been granted shall agree to return to the University on the expiration of his leave and to remain in service for at least one year thereafter. T o offset this and in part discharge the obligation imposed on him by his leave, he will return to the University at his own expense during the year 1937-1938 to deliver three lectures during each semester and to hold conferences with students and members of the faculty. Professor Allen will also return for the 1937 Summer Session. T h e Director of the School of Journalism recommends that he be released under these conditions, and I concur in this recommendation. On motion of Mr. Cleary, this resignation was accepted as recommended. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR ALBERT JORGENSEN (9) A recommendation that Albert Jorgensen, Associate in General Engineering Drawing, be given a leave of absence from September I, 1937, to July 1, 1938, with full pay, and that an exchange of instructors with P u r d u e University be authorized whereby Mr. Jorgensen will teach at P u r d u e and Mr. J. N. Arnold, Assistant Professor of Practical Mechanics of P u r d u e University, will teach at the University of Illinois. Each institution will pay the full salary of its appointee and no other financial obligation will be incumbent upon either institution. I recommend that the exchange proposed by the College of Engineering be approved as a special case and that Mr. Jorgensen be given leave of absence with full pay from September I, 1937, to July I, 1938, to effectuate this plan. On motion of Mr. Cleary, this exchange was approved and leave was granted as recommended.
