BOARD OF T R U S T E E S

one year beginning September 1, 1938, to enable him to accept a position in the United States Treasury Department in a study of procedures in the Department relating to accounting for revenue, appropriations, etc., with a view to reporting to the Secretary of the Treasury on the feasibility of establishing a system of general accounts. This is a temporary position, and it is believed that the experience would give Professor Frese an excellent opportunity to increase his knowledge of Federal accounting in general.

On motion of Mr. Karraker, this leave was granted.
