1938] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 631 the current year (the first semester without pay and the second semester on one-half pay), be given additional leave of absence during the first semester of 1938-1939 without pay to enable him to continue his researches in oceanography on the Pacific coast. Professor Shepard's request has been considered by the Department, the Executive Committee of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Graduate School Research Board, all of whom recommend approval of this arrangement. On motion of Mrs. Freeman, this leave was granted as recommended. LEAVES OF ABSENCE GRANTED M E M B E R S OF THE STAFF (9) A report that leaves of absence have been granted the following members of the staff for the periods and under the conditions indicated in each case: 1. Mr. Roscoe E. Hill, Assistant in Zoology (quarter time), February 1 to March 20, 1938, with pay, for doing scientific work a t a marine biological station. The Department will take care of his work during his absence without additional expense to the University. Similar leaves have been granted for such purposes in previous years. 2. Miss Dorothy Iwig, Extension Specialist in Home Furnishings, four weeks from August 1, 1938, two weeks with pay and two without, in addition to the regular vacation allowance for one month for the purpose of attending the summer session at Columbia University Teachers College. 3. Miss Erma Cottingham, District 4-H Club Adviser, two weeks from July 20, 1938, in addition to the regular vacation allowance of one month, with pay, for the purpose of attending the summer session at the University of Chicago. 4.

Hansen, of the Department of History, leave of absence during the second semester of 1937-1938 (or from January 7 to July 1, 1938) with full pay on account of illness. The Department will carry his work during this time without additional expense to the University. 6. Dr. Robbie N . Brunner, Associate in Anaesthesia, College of Medicine, leave of absence from February 1 to June 15, 1938, without pay, for the purpose of study. This is in addition to the sick leave with full pay from November 6, 1937, to February I, 1938, approved by the Board at its last meeting. On motion of Mr. Adams, the action of the President of the University in granting these leaves was confirmed. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR DEAN H. W. MUMFORD (10) At the meeting of the Board on January 20, 1938, I submitted a recommendation that Dean H. W. Mumford be given a leave of absence for one year with full pay in recognition of his long period of service, during which time he has never taken a sabbatical leave of absence. In my presentation I stated that Dean Mumford will be due to retire September 1, 1938, and 1 recommended t h a t he be given the year's leave of absence, with full service pay, following his retirement. Dean Mumford will not be due to retire until September 1, 1939. The leave of absence may be granted him during the last year of his active service or during the year immediately following his retirement. T h e Board has already authorized a year's leave of absence with full pay for Dean Mumford, but I recommend that: 1. The Secretary of the Board be authorized to amend the record of the meeting of January 20 to show that Dean Mumford will be due to retire September 1, 1939; and 2. T h e President of the University be authorized to arrange with Dean Mumford the time of his leave, this to be either the academic year 1938-1939 or 1939-1940, whichever arrangement will best serve the interests of the University, and to report back to the Board. On motion of Mr. Moschel, authority was granted as recommended.
