Omit suspended plaster ceilings over metal acoustical treatment where specified in ground story—Deduct $992 64 Change Order No. 10 in contract with Phillips, Getschow Company for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning work.

Since these changes involve more than $500, they are presented to the Board for approval in the first instance instead of for confirmation of the President's approval. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, these changes were authorized. APPOINTMENT OF ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR ALAN K. LAING (4) To fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Professor G. E. Mylonas, I have approved the appointment of Professor Alan K. Laing, of the University of Cincinnati, as Associate Professor of History of Architecture for one year from September I, 1940, at a salary of $3,500 and request confirmation of my action. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this action was confirmed, LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR F. S. SIEBERT (5) Professor Fredrick S. Siebert of the School of Journalism has requested a leave of absence without pay for one year from September 1, 1940, to accept an appointment as Professor of Journalism at Northwestern University during that period. Professor Siebert had previously submitted his resignation in order to accept that appointment. I asked him to reconsider it, which he has done, but he feels that his discussions with, and tentative commitments to, officials of Northwestern University obligate him to go there for at least one year. Under these circumstances he has withdrawn his resignation and has requested a leave of absence without pay for the academic year 1040-1941 with the expectation of returning to the faculty of the University of Illinois at the end of that leave. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this leave was granted. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR JULIA P. OUTHOUSE (6) On February 11, 1939, Professor Julia P . Outhouse was granted a leave of absence for June, July, and August, 1939, and June, July, and August, 1940. She planned to go abroad, but in view of present conditions this is out of the question. Under the circumstances she has requested that this leave be cancelled and that she be permitted to present an application for a leave at some future date without prejudice. I recommend approval.
