On motion of Mr. Pogue, Mrs. Plumb acted as Chairman. MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University. LEAVES O F ABSENCE (1) 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. Dr. Glenn P . Haskell, Associate in English, sick leave with full pay from March 1 to August 31, 1940. This is an extension of sick leave with full pay granted Doctor Haskell for six months from September 1, 1939 (Minutes, page 565). T h e Department has made satisfactory temporary provision for his work during the first semester and this will be continued throughout the year without additional expense to the University. 2.

Schlatter, Associate Dean of the College of Commerce, leave with pay from June 17 to July 22, 1940, so that he may accept an invitation to teach at the University of Colorado during the first five weeks of the Summer Session. On motion of Mr. Pogue, these leaves were granted as recommended. APPOINTMENT OF DR. EARL R. SERLES AS DEAN OF THE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY (2) T h e Committee on the Deanship of the College of Pharmacy recommends that Dr. Earl R. Series, Dean of the Division of Pharmacy at the South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, be appointed Dean of the College of Pharmacy and Professor of Pharmacy, effective July 1, 1940. I concur in the Committee's recommendation and recommend further that the Board authorize an offer to Doctor Series of this position at a salary of $7,000. On motion of Mr. Karraker, this appointment was authorized. FOOD SERVICE EQUIPMENT FOR ILLINI U N I O N BUILDING (3) T h e Director of the Physical Plant Department has set up a procedure, which I have approved, for the preparation of plans and specifications for the food service equipment for the Illini Union Building, including checking and supervision of installation. T h e cost of this work is estimated at $2,200 and is a proper charge against the funds which the University of Illinois Foundation is raising for the furnishing and equipment of the new Illini Union Building. I have asked the Foundation to release this amount of funds and request confirmation of my action. On motion of Mr. Jensen, this action was confirmed. REJECTION OF BIDS ON LANDSCAPING (4) On November 10 the Physical Plant Department received bids for landscaping and parking areas in the vicinity of Gregory Hall and the additions to the.
