MEMBERS O F THE STAFF TO BE C O N T I N U E D IN SERVICE (7) A recommendation that the following members of the staff who have reached the retiring age or whose retirement has previously been authorized be continued in active service for the period and at the salary indicated in each case: 1. P. L. Windsor, Director of the Library and of the Library School, and Professor of Library Science, one year from September i, 1939, at a salary of $7,000. It will not be possible to fill this position permanently at the beginning of the next academic year as none of the candidates who are under consideration will be available prior to September 1, 1940. It is therefore desirable to have Director Windsor continue for another year. 2. A, II. Clark, Professor of Chemistry and Acting Dean of the College of Pharmacy, from September 1, 1939, until further notice, at a salary rate of $5,500 a year. Professor Clark will reach the retiring age of 68 on October 15, 1939, but he had previously requested, and the Board authorized, that he be retired effective September 1. It may be necessary to defer the appointment of a permanent dean for a few months, and Professor Clark has agreed to continue in active service until this position can be filled satisfactorily.

On motion of Mr. Moschel, this recommendation was adopted.
