At its last meeting 1 the Board of Trustees voted to request the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association to amend the Association's by-laws to provide for membership on its Board of both the Director of the School of Physical Education and the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. This cannot be done without an amendment of the Association's charter which provides for a board of five directors, nor is it desirable to displace any of the present members of the Board. At the time the by-laws of the Association were revised a few years ago the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics was also the Director of the School of Physical Education and consequently the latter title was used in the by-laws. T h e organization of the Athletic Association contemplates that the officer who is in charge of intercollegiate athletics shall be one of the members of the Board. T h e Directors will amend the by-laws to provide that one of the faculty members of the Board shall be the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, instead of the Director of the School of Physical Education.

On motion of Mr. Barr, this appointment was made as recomLEAVES O F A B S E N C E (3) A recommendation that the following leaves of absence be granted members of the staff for the periods indicated in each case: 1.

His colleagues on the faculty are carrying on his work without additional expense to the University. 2. Dean Maria Leonard, October 5, 1936, to January I, 1937, sick leave with pay.

R E T I R E M E N T O F DR. ADELINE R. W H I T E (4) T h e Dean of the College of Medicine recommends that Dr. Adeline R. White, Assistant in the Department of Anatomy, be retired from active service with the retiring allowance of $213 a year, based on her salary and period of service. Although Dr. White is past the retiring age, she was not eligible for automatic retirement under the University Statutes at the beginning of the present academic year, September 1, 1936, because she had not completed the minimum of fifteen years of service until October 1, 1936. I recommend that Dr. White be retired, effective November 1, 1936, with a retiring allowance of $213 a year.
