BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[March n

On motion of Mrs. Grigsby, these leaves were granted as recommended.

LOAN T O MR. L. N. HALL

Dr. Meyer, for the Finance Committee, presented a recommendation that a mortgage loan be made (from uninvested endowment funds) to Mr. L. N. Hall, of Champaign, of $3,500, with interest at 4 per cent (five per cent of the principal payable annually with privileges of paying additional multiples of $100 on any interest paying date). This loan is to be secured by a mortgage note on property at 512 West Healey Street, Champaign. On motion of Dr. Meyer, this loan was authorized as recommended.

R E F U N D I N G OF BONDS

Dr. Meyer presented also a report of progress on the refinancing of the Medical and Dental Building bonds.

MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD

The Board resumed consideration of matters presented by the President of the University.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR DR. FREDERICK B. MOOREHEAD (9) Dr. Frederick B. Moorehead, Professor of Oral Surgery and H e a d of the Department (on one-half time at a salary of $4,500), was granted a leave of absence on full pay for six months from September I, 1940. Under the rules of the Board of Trustees he would be entitled to an extension of this leave for the second half of the year, but on one-half of the regular salary instead of full pay. I submit herewith a letter from the Executive Dean of the Chicago Colleges, enclosing one from a group representing the Dental Alumni Association, with the request that an exception to the rules be made in Doctor Moorehead's case and that he be given an extension of his leave on full pay, i.e., under the same conditions as the leave granted for the first half of the current year.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, Dr. Moorehead's leave was extended, on full pay, as requested.

STATUS OF MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY O N LEAVE OF ABSENCE (10) T h e following members of the faculty have been on sick leave with pay during a part or all of the first half of the academic year 1940-1941. It is recommended that their leaves be extended for the second half of the year as indicated in each case: William H . Severns, Professor of Mechanical Engineering; in the service of the University twenty-one y e a r s ; age, 5 3 ; present salary, $4,300. Granted sick leave from September 1, 1940, to J a n u a r y 31, 1941. It is recommended that he be continued on full pay during the second half of the year with permission to carry a reduced schedule of work. A r t h u r F. Deam, Professor of Architecture; in the service of the University ten y e a r s ; age, 46; present salary, $6,500. Granted sick leave with part pay for six months from September 1, 1940. It is recommended that his leave be extended during the second half of the year. A reduction of $160 a month was made from his salary during the first half of the year and $140 a month will be deducted from his salary during the second half of the year to pay the salary of an assistant who has been brought in to relieve other members of the department of their own duties so that they could take over Professor Deam's teaching at no additional expense to the University. Professor Deam will be permitted to carry a reduced schedule of work.

On motion of Mr. Fornof, leave was granted to Professor Severns as recommended.
