1938] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 597 them in the absence of such employment. Any retired member of the teaching, research, extension, or administrative staff contemplating such employment should apply to the President of the University for leave of absence without pay during such time as the employment is to continue. On the termination of such employment, the retired staff member shall be entitled to receive the retirement compensation in the usual course. On motion of Mr. Moschel, this declaration of policy was adopted. RETIREMENT OF PROFESSOR G. F. SCHWARTZ (12) A request from Professor G. F . Schwartz of the School of Music that he be retired from active service under the University Statutes effective September 1, 1938, on account of his health. H e is 66 years old and will have been in the service of the University 36 years at that time. While a member of the staff automatically retires at the age of 68 unless he is continued in active service from year to year, the Statutes provide that in exceptional cases and for substantial cause, retirement may be permitted at any time after a member reaches the age of 65. I recommend approval of Professor Schwartz's application. T h e retiring allowance payable in this case will be $1,842 per year. On motion of Mr. Wieland, this retirement was authorized as recommended. RETIREMENT OF S. W . KILTON (13) A recommendation from the Dean of the College of Agriculture that S. W.
