The Executive Committee of the College of Medicine had previously recommended, the Chicago Professional Colleges Senate concurring therein, that the Department of Clinical Science be discontinued with the retirement of Dr. Ivy.

Following discussion of these reports, it was the consensus of the Executive Committee and of the other Trustees present that action on Dr. Ivy's request be deferred pending actions by the Dean and the Executive Committee of the College of Medicine and by the President of the University.

The Trustees have informally indicated their approval of the appointment. COMPLAINT OF ALVIN W . CROWLEY Chairman Williamson informed the Committee that he has received a request from Mr. Alvin W. Crowley, a former nonacademic employee, tor a hearing by the Board of Trustees regarding termination of his employment. Mr. Crowley was employed in the Department of Physics at Urbana- Champaign with the civil service classification of Instrument Maker on May 18, 1959. His employment was terminated before expiration of the standard six-month probationary period.

It was the consensus of the Executive Committee and of the other Trustees present that Mr. Crowley should not be given a hearing by !he Board of Trustees since his proper recourse is to the Merit Board °f the University Civil Service System of Illinois. On motion of Mrs. Frances B. Watkins, the Committee adjourned. W A Y N E A. JOHNSTON FRANCES B. W A T K I N S KENNEY E. WILLIAMSON A - J- JANATA Clerk Chairman
