LEAVES O F A B S E N C E FOR P R O F E S S O R S R O B E R T A. H E D G E S AND DONALD R. HODGMAN (6) Associate Professors Robert A. Hedges, Department of Finance, and Donald R. Hodgman, Department of Economics, have received fellowship appointments under a grant from the Ford Foundation for study at the Institute of Basic Mathematics for Application to Business at Harvard University during the academic year 1959-60 and the summer of i960. The Ford Foundation fellowship stipend is equivalent to one-half the University salary for the academic year plus a stipend for the summer of i960. To enable them to carry out this program of study, which will be of benefit to the College of Commerce and Business Administration as well as to them, their University status has been changed to one-half time on one-half salary, and each has been given leave of absence on one-half time without pay. Confirmation of these changes is requested.

On motion of Mr. Clement, these leaves were confirmed.

P R E S I D E N T ' S TRAVEL T O INDIA (7) I request permission to travel to India and Southeast Asia between the dates of December 26, 1959, and February 22, i960, for an official visit to the points of Iniversity of Illinois activity in India and to make certain observations in this general area at the request of the Ford Foundation. The visit to the University of Illinois centers of activity in India will be under the auspices of the International Cooperation Administration of the federal government. There will be no travel expense to the University of Illinois. From comments of the American Ambassador to India, the head of the Technical Cooperation Mission to India, the head of the International Cooperation Administration of the federal government, and from many visitors to India, both from the University of Illinois staff and other centers, it is clear that the work of the University of Illinois in India is of great importance. The sponsorship of a land-grant state university in Uttar Pradesh state, the consultative service provided to the institutions in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya ftadesh, the training of participants for service in India and the assignment of American personnel to the institutions in this area, and the contract services to the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur represent a major responsibility of the University of Illinois. These activities are all supported financially by the federal government. The responsible officials of the federal government believe it is important tor the Presidents of the institutions concerned to make first-hand observations of 'he problems faced by our staff, and to measure the progress being made.
