SERVICES OF PROFESSOR J O H N A. FAIRL1E (9) A request from Professor John A. Fairlie, Professor of Political Science and Head of the Department, that on his retirement on September 1, 1941, he be permitted to accept a part-time position for the winter and spring quarters at Ohio State University. This position has formerly been filled by a member of the staff of Ohio State University who has been called into active military service and Professor Fairlie's acceptance would indirectly aid in the national defense program. Professor Fairlie has been asked to give one course during the winter quarter (January 6 to March 21) and two courses during the spring quarter (March 31 to June 15). His compensation is to be $2,500 for the period of employment. T h e Board has previously adopted a policy relating to members of the staff who have retired and who have subsequently been offered full-time positions with another institution or company, but no precedent has been established in cases where part-time employment only is involved.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, Professor Fairlie was authorized to accept this employment, subject to the possible needs of the University for his services.
