BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[January 20

once granted such leave on one-half pay but circumstances made it impossible for him to take it. During the University year 1907-1908 he was authorized and directed to visit other beef producing regions, especially the Argentine Republic in South America, to study conditions under which those countries are producing or are likely to be able to produce meats to compete with American beef, but this was a part of his work during that y e a r ; from March 1, 1920, to March 1, 1922, he was on leave without pay while acting as Director of the Department of Livestock Marketing for the Illinois Agricultural Association; during 1928 he was given a leave of absence from July I to October 1 to serve on a commission of American authorities to study the meat and dairy industries in Germany. Dean Mumford's services have not been limited to the University nor in fact to the State of Illinois. H e has been a member and is still a member of various State and Federal commissions and boards on which he has rendered service as distinguished as that in his University work.

On motion of Mr. Mayer this recommendation was approved.

STATUS OF RETIRED MEMBERS OF UNIVERSITY STAFF (11) Since questions are raised from time to time concerning activities of retired members of the staff, particularly when they engage in remunerative employment, it is desirable to have a definite policy to govern such cases.
