PARTY OF THE SECOND PART

On motion of Mr. Davis, the President and the Secretary of the Board were authorized to execute the above agreement.

CHANGE IN STATUS OF GEORGE P. TUTTLE, REGISTRAR (2) Mr. George P . Tuttle, Registrar, has been asked by the American Council on Education to direct the preparation of a handbook for evaluating training received in the armed forces for secondary school and college credits. H e has requested permission to undertake this work and to do it at the University of Illinois so that he can continue performing some of his duties as Registrar. H e also asks that his status be changed to Registrar on one-quarter time and salary from April I through August 31, 1944. The American Council on Education will pay the balance of his salary and also all expenses of the work he will direct. The release of Mr. Tuttle for three-quarters of his time will require adding materially to the duties and responsibilities of Messrs. D. A. Grossman, E x aminer, and E. C. Seyler, Recorder, in the Registrar's Office. Mr. Tuttle recommends that their salaries be increased, Mr. Grossman's by $75 a month and Mr. Seyler's by $50 a month for five months, from April 1 through August 31, 1944. The unused portion of Mr. Tuttle's salary will be more than sufficient to cover these additional payments. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Davis, these recommendations were adopted.

APPOINTMENT OF PROFESSOR FRANCIS G. WILSON AS ACTING CHAIRMAN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE (3) On March 14, 1044 (Minutes, page 904), the Board of Trustees authorized a leave of absence, without pay, for Professor Clarence A. Berdahl, Chairman of the Department of Political Science, so that he could serve on the London staff of the Office of Strategic Services. T h e Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences recommends that Professor Francis G. Wilson be appointed Acting Chairman during Professor Berdahl's absence. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Fornof, this appointment was made as recommended.
