3H BOARD OF TRUSTEES MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT W1LLARD [June 24 The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University. APPOINTMENT OF ROY ANDREAE TO BOARD OF EXAMINERS IN ACCOUNTANCY (1) T h e Committee on Accountancy recommends the appointment of Mr. Roy Andreae, of the firm of Price, Waterhouse & Company, Chicago, as a member of the Board of Examiners in Accountancy for three years beginning July 1, 1941, to succeed Mr. Charles W. Jones, whose term expires on J u n e 30. On motion of Mr. Davis, this appointment was made as recommended. APPOINTMENT OF PROFESSOR J . M. MATHEWS AS CHAIRMAN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE (2) With the retirement of Professor John A. Fairlie as Head of the Department of Political Science the Department has voted to change its organization to a department with a chairman. Under the University Statutes a department may be organized either with a chairman or with a head. T h e chairman is appointed biennially by the Board of Trustees on nomination presented by the President of the University after consultation with the dean of the college and the executive committee of the department concerned. After conferring with the executive committee of the Department of Political Science, I recommend the appointment of Professor John M. Mathews as Chairman of the Department for two years from September 1, 1041. On motion of Dr. Meyer, this appointment was made as recommended. DEFERMENT OF SABBATICAL LEAVE GRANTED MISS GRACE B. ARMSTRONG (3) At its meeting on January 22, 1041 (Minutes, page 153), the Board of Trustees granted to Miss Grace B. Armstrong, Assistant Professor, H o m e Economics Extension, a sabbatical leave of absence on full pay from August I, 1041, to February I, 1042. Miss Armstrong has requested that a part of her leave (namely four months) be deferred until the fall of 1942 with the understanding that when her plans for the four-month period have been worked out they shall be subject to the approval of the Dean of the College of Agriculture and the President of the University. On motion of Mr. Jensen, this deferment was approved as recommended. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR W. M. WILSON (4) T h e Head of the Department of Civil Engineering and the Dean of the College of Engineering recommend that Professor W. M. Wilson be authorized to continue his service on the Board of Engineers appointed to determine the loss resulting from the failure of the suspension bridge over the Tacoma N a r r o w s near Seattle, Washington, and to be absent from the University from time to time as such service may require. Professor Wilson's service on this Board will involve no additional expense to the University, and it is to the interest of the University to permit him to continue in this capacity since this is a public service. This service will not interfere with proper supervision by Professor Wilson of his research programs now in progress. I concur in this recommendation. On motion of Dr. Meyer, this leave was granted as recommended. LEAVES OF ABSENCE (5) A recommendation that the following leaves of absence be granted members of the staff for the reasons and periods and under the conditions indicated in each case: Charles Kovacic, part-time assistant in the Department of Physical Education for Men, sick leave with full pay from April 24 through June 30, 1041. O. T. Bonnett, Assistant Professor of Plant Genetics, sick leave with full pay from May 5 to June 15, 1941.
