BOARD OF TRUSTEES

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS FOR APPOINTMENTS TO STAFF (22) T h e Director of the School of Physical Education has recommended the appointment to the staff of an instructor who was given an honorable discharge from the Army because medical examinations showed more pulmonary involvement than is permissible under Army regulations. The University Health Officer has given this candidate a physical examination and reports that he is in good physical condition at present, although the examination indicates that he is a somewhat greater risk than normal, since no one can say with certainty if or when his health will suffer. T h e University now grants leaves of absence for military service to staff members under certain conditions with the provision that "the individual on leave will have the right to return to the position at the termination of his leave provided he is in satisfactory physical condition to resume the duties of the position." In this case, however, the individual is not a former member of the staff but would be a new appointee. It should be noted that there is a shortage of instructors in certain fields and particularly in Physical Education, so that if this individual is not appointed the University may not be able to secure one who is as competent. H e would be used exclusively in Army Specialized Training program classes. I have authorized the appointment of this individual for a part of the summer term (from July 1 to October 2) with the understanding that his reappointment for the academic year 1943-1944 is subject to further consideration. President Livingston appointed Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, and Mr. K a r r a k e r as a special committee to consider this m a t t e r a n d to recomm e n d a policy to the Board. QUIT CLAIM DEED TO J . C. HACKLEMAN ON LAND FORMERLY O W N E D BY THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (23) T h e University of Illinois Athletic Association at one time owned a parcel of land in the city of Urbana which has since been sold. T h e title to this land was held for the Athletic Association by the late Professor G. A. Goodenough, then a member of its Board of Directors, as trustee. T h e land was subsequently sold and title was conveyed by Professor Goodenough during his lifetime to others. In order to clear up the title the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association has recently given a quit claim deed to Mr. J. C. Hackleman, the present owner, by the adoption of the following resolution: Whereas, David T . Miles and his wife, Mattie Miles, by warranty deed dated February 2, 1911, filed March 20, 1911, in Book 151, page 135 in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Champaign County, Illinois, conveyed to G.
