240 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [April IJ LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR FRANCIS P. SHEPARD (2) During the two academic years, 1939-1941, Professor Francis P . Shepard of the Department of Geology and Geography has been granted a leave of absence without pay for two semesters (from February, 1040, to February, 1041) for the purpose of conducting investigations in submarine geology on the Pacific Coast in which he has been interested and has been specializing for several years. H e has been assisted in his researches by the Geological Society of America and by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. T h e H e a d of the Department of Geology and Geography, the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Dean of the Graduate School all recommend continuation of this arrangement during the two years beginning September 1, 1041, specifically a leave of absence without pay for the second semester of 1941-1942 and the first semester of 1042-1943, or from February 1, 1942, to February I, 1043. This plan has worked out satisfactorily in the past, since it has enabled him to teach all his advanced classes in the department, giving up only work in the elementary course for which temporary provision is made within the funds released by the unused half of his salary. I concur in this recommendation.
