APPOINTMENT OF DR. E. R. SERLES AS DEAN OF THE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY

(5) T h e Board of Trustees on December 18, 1939 (Minutes, page 672), authorized an offer of the deanship of the College of Pharmacy to Dr. Earl R. Series, Dean of the Division of Pharmacy at the South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. H e has advised that he will accept such an appointment. Accordingly, I recommend that he be appointed as Professor of Pharmacy on indefinite tenure and Dean of the College of Pharmacy beginning July 1, 1940, and continuing until August 31, 1941, at an annual salary rate of $7,000. The appointment to the deanship is for less than the two years provided in the University of Illinois Statutes, so that it will coincide with the appointments of other deans and directors, which run with the fiscal biennium.

On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this appointment was made as recommended.
