1939] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 319 2. Tenure.—The Statutes provide a tenure of two years for deans. Dr. Allen would want to be free to terminate his relationship with the University on one year's notice, or in less time by mutual consent. 3. Title of Position.—Dr. Allen suggests for consideration the designation, "Executive Dean of the Chicago Colleges," to distinguish it from the other deanships. In view of the salary situation I feel that $10,000 for this position is the maximum the University can justify at this time. I recommend approval of his suggestions concerning the tenure and the title of the position. On motion of Mr. Cleary, this appointment was made as recommended. At this point, Mr. Pogue took his place with the Board. LEAVE O F A B S E N C E FOR P R O F E S S O R A. W . C L E V E N G E R (6) A request from Professor A. W. Clevenger, High School Visitor, for a leave of absence during the second semester and summer of 1939-1940 on full pay, pursuant to the provisions of the University Statutes relating to such leaves. Professor Clevenger desires to spend the time in graduate work at Columbia University. On motion of Mr. Jensen, this leave was granted as requested. LEAVES O F A B S E N C E (7) A recommendation that the following leaves of absence be granted members of the staff for the reasons and periods and under the conditions indicated in each case: 1. Miss Edna Mae Brown, Cataloger in the Library, one month with full pay in order that she may study in Puerto Rico during July and August, the latter month being her regular vacation allowance. 2. Dr. H . R. Hester, Assistant in Animal Pathology and Hygiene, three months without pay, beginning J u n e 1, 1939, to accept a temporary appointment with the State Department of Agriculture. 3. Miss Mary Stansifer, H o m e Adviser at Large, four days without pay ( M a y 3-7) in addition to the leave of absence recently granted her. 4. Miss Velma E. Hudgins, stenographer in the College of Agriculture, one week without pay in addition to the regular vacation allowance, for the purpose of study at the University of Colorado. On motion of Mr. Jensen, these leaves were granted as recommended. ADMISSION T O THE C O L L E G E O F DENTISTRY (8) T w o years ago the Board of Trustees requested and secured a special State appropriation of $350,000 for the equipment of the Medical and Dental Building. This was approximately one-half of the amount needed, but it was decided to defer part of the clinical equipment because the third-year and fourth-year classes of the College of Dentistry were still small. The equipment purchased was limited to the minimum needed for the number of students actually enrolled. It was anticipated that provision would be made in the budget for 1939-1941 for the purchase of at least a part of the deferred equipment. In fact, such an item was included in the budget presented to the Board on October 17, 1938, but was later stricken. There is now no specific provision in the budget for such equipment. Therefore it is necessary that some temporary restrictions be placed on the enrollment, since otherwise we shall have more students than the clinical and laboratory facilities will accommodate. T h e Dean of the College of Dentistry recommends: 1. T h e enrollment in the first-year class of the College of Dentistry be limited to seventy students.
