938 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [May 28 LaSalle Street, Chicago, as a member of the Board of Examiners in Accountancy for three years beginning July I, 1940, to succeed Mr. Walter LeClear, whose term expires on June 30. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this appointment was made as recommended. A P P O I N T M E N T T O PLYM F E L L O W S H I P IN A R C H I T E C T U R E (3) A report that on recommendation of the Plym Fellowship Committee Bernard H .

Pulley, of 503 Battery Place, Chattanooga, Tennessee, has been appointed Alternate in case Mr. Bradley cannot accept. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this action was approved and confirmed. LEAVES O F A B S E N C E (4) A report that the following leaves of absence have been granted to members of the staff pursuant to the rules of the Board relating to leaves of absence on account of disability: 1. Clifford P . Kittredge, Assistant Professor of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, sick leave with full pay from April I to May 30, or so much of that time as may be necessary for his recovery. H i s colleagues will carry on his work during his absence without additional expense to the University. 2. Philip A. Halper, Associate in Ophthalmology, College of Medicine (Clinical Faculty without salary), leave of absence from April 19 to August 31, 1940, on account of ill health. 3. Miss Edith Usry, Associate in Music, February 7 to March 10, 1940, inclusive, with full pay. 4. W . H . Bruckner, Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering, sick leave with full pay from April 20 to September 1, 1940. 5. M. R. Riddell, Associate Professor of Aeronautical Engineering and Assistant to the Director of the Engineering Experiment Station, May 20 to September 1, 1940, sick leave with full pay. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this action was confirmed. C H A N G E IN ORGANIZATION O F D E P A R T M E N T O F S O C I O L O G Y (5) T h e Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences submits with his recommendation a request from the Department of Sociology for a change in departmental organization from a headship to a chairmanship form. The Dean also recommends that Associate Professor John W. Albig, Executive Secretary of the Department of Sociology, be appointed Chairman of the Department, effective September 1, 1940, at a salary of $4,200 a year. The Statutes provide that the chairman of a department should be appointed biennially, but since next year will be the second half of the fiscal and legislative biennium I recommend that Professor Albig's appointment be for one year so that it will coincide in tenure with other biennial appointments. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, these recommendations were adopted. A D M I S S I O N S T O T H E C O L L E G E O F MEDICINE (6) T h e University Senate is considering recommendations from the faculties of the Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry for changes in the procedure governing admissions to those divisions, and a report from the Senate will be presented to the Board in the near future. Certain of the changes proposed involve considerations of administrative and public rather than of educational policy, viz., the size of the first-year class and the admission of students not residents of Illinois. It would be advantageous to have a decision on these questions as early as possible, and I, therefore, present for the consideration of the Board the following recommendations: 1. A reduction in the size of the first-year class of the College of Medicine from 160 to 155 students.
