THOMPSON (2) Last March the Board of Trustees granted Dean C. M. Thompson of the College of Commerce and Business Administration a leave of absence with full pay to September 1, 1942, so that he might devote full time to rendering certain services for the State Council of Defense. This leave carried with it the privilege of using his Secretary and office facilities, including the services of the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, in making certain studies. T h e arrangement provided that the State would furnish all necessary transportation and other expenses. I submit the following request from t h e Governor that Dean Thompson's leave be extended for one year from September 1, 1942: Springfield, Illinois August 4, 1942 Doctor A. C. Willard, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois. DEAR DOCTOR W I L L A R D : President, I am writing to request that the University of Illinois extend for one year the leave of absence of Dean C. M. Thompson and his staff, with pay, in order that he and his staff may devote their time to the work of the Illinois State Council of Defense. Dean Thompson and his staff have been doing a grand job as part of Illinois' war effort and it was the unanimous opinion of the State Council of Defense that the University of Illinois be requested to extend their leave of absence for the coming year. Sincerely yours, D W I G H T H . GREEN Governor I recommend an extension of Dean Thompson's leave of absence with full pay for one year from September 1, 1942, for t h e purpose indicated and subject to the same conditions, namely, that he may have the use of his Secretary, office facilities, and the services of the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, but that the State will pay all expenses and will provide whatever transportation is necessary. I recommend further that Professor H . T . Scovill be continued as Acting Dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration for one year from September 1, 1942. On motion of Mr. Davis, this extension of leave of absence was authorized under the conditions recommended. LEAVE O F ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR D. PHILIP LOCKLIN (3) At the meeting of t h e Board on January 24, 1942 (Minutes, page 748), Professor D. Philip Locklin, of the Department of Economics, was given leave of absence without pay from March 1 to September 1, 1942, to direct studies of interterritorial freight rates for the Federal Board of Investigation and Research, which was set up under the Transportation Act of 1940. These studies have not been completed, and Professor Locklin has been asked to continue in this service. H e therefore requests an extension of his leave of absence to cover the first semester of 1942-1943. T h e Board of Investigation and Research has also requested that the University grant an extension of Professor Locklin's leave.
