Department of Psychiatry, that the fact of his remaining as a salaried member of the staff of the Institute would be immaterial. Seemingly Doctor Hassin believes not all the pertinent facts and consequences were considered by Doctor Singer or brought to Doctor Hassin's attention at the time he asked that he be put on our staff as a salaried member, and accepted Doctor Singer's advice to the effect t h a t whether he was on our staff or not did not matter. Technically, Doctor Hassin may not be entitled to a retiring allowance, but there appear to be certain equitable considerations involved, and I am, therefore, bringing it to the attention of the Board as a special case, with a recommendation that Dr. Hassin be granted a retiring allowance of $1,435 a year, effective September 1, 1941.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, this allowance was granted as recommended; the appropriation was made by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Livingston, Dr. Meyer; no, none; absent, Mr. Green, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Wieland.

During this period he will be engaged in reorganizing the Recovery Association, an agency which renders a follow-up service to former patients of the Psychiatric Institute. Since this activity will not be directly related to Doctor Low's professional pursuits, he is being recommended for leave without pay.

Hannah, Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics, from November 21, 1941, to October 28, 1942. L. J.

C H A N G E IN P E R S O N N E L O F ILLINI UNION BOARD (5) Woman's League has recommended that Miss Charlotte Davis be appointed as one of the student representatives on the Illini Union Board, replacing Miss Helen E.
