BOARD O F

TRUSTEES

[August 29

T h e Head of the Department of Economics advises that Professor Locklin's services in the Department are badly needed since it is impossible to find a replacement for him at this time and for such a short period. On the other hand, if the University considers it a public service to give Professor Locklin additional leave the Department will make such adjustments in the staff and teaching arrangements as are necessary. In view of these considerations I did not see my way clear to approve the extension of Professor Locklin's leave, but I am bringing the matter to the Board for action. (If this leave is granted, Professor Locklin would be on leave of absence without pay for one-half of the appointment y e a r ; consequently, the period of leave should be for six months from September 1, 1942.)

LEAVES OF ABSENCE FOR ASSISTANT PROFESSOR J . L. DOOB A N D ASSOCIATE R. J . DUFFIN (4) The Head of the Department of Mathematics recommends that the following members of the Department be granted leaves of absence without pay for one year from September I, 1942, for the purposes indicated. I recommend approval. J. L. DOOB, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, for scientific research work of a confidential nature for the United States Navy. Professor Doob has been engaged in work of this kind during the present summer. R. J. DUFFIN, Associate in Mathematics, for scientific research work on military and naval problems for the Government in the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. This is an extension of a leave of absence for similar work from April 1 through August 31,

1942.
