BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 30

that any additional expense to the University due to his absence and to the temporary provision for the administration of the College shall be deducted from his salary. I recommend further that the Executive Committee of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, with Professor A. B. Coble designated as Acting Chairman, be authorized to administer the affairs of the College during Dean McClure's absence.

On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this leave was granted, and the Executive Committee of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was authorized to administer its affairs as recommended.

LEAVE O F ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR GEORGE F. SCHWARTZ

(4) A recommendation from the Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts that Professor George F. Schwartz, of the School of Music, be given a leave of absence on account of his health for one year beginning September I, ^ o , on part pay. In redistributing the teaching load of the School of Music to provide for the work of Professor Schwartz during his absence, it will be necessary for the School of Music to appoint an additional assistant at a salary of $i,3So for the year. Professor Schwartz's salary is $3,750. Consequently the Dean recommends that Professor Schwartz be given a leave of absence with a salary of $2,400 for the year. This arrangement will enable the School of Music to carry on his work without additional expense to the University. O n motion of M r . Barrett, this leave was granted as recommended.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR CHARLES ZELENY

(5) 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 to August 31, 1936, 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. Dean McClure recommends that his leave of absence be continued under the same conditions until February 1, 1937, and I concur in his recommendation. O n motion of Mr. Barr, this leave was granted as recommended. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR DR. M. S. G O L D M A N (6) A report that Dr. M. S. Goldman, Assistant Professor of English, has been given a leave of absence without pay for one year beginning September I, 1936, to enable him to accept an appointment as Visiting Professor at Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri.
