MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University. CANCELLATION OF LEAVE OF ABSENCE GRANTED MISS ERMA COTTINGHAM (1) On December 16 the Board granted Miss E r m a Cottingham, Associate in Home Economics Extension and 4-H Club Adviser, a leave of absence on onehalf pay for one year from September I, 1942, for the purpose of advanced study, in accordance with the policy of the United States Department of Agriculture in granting extension workers leaves for such purposes. Miss Cottingham has requested that her leave be cancelled because of the war, and I so recommend. O n m o t i o n of D r . M e y e r , t h i s l e a v e w a s c a n c e l l e d as r e c o m m e n d e d . EMERITUS RANK FOR PROFESSOR GUY A. TAWNEY (2) Professor Guy A. Tawney was appointed to serve as Professor of Philosophy on one-half time from September 1, 1930, until he retired on September 1, 1939. Due to his age at the time he joined the University faculty he waived any right to receive a retiring allowance under the system then in effect. At the time he retired from active service Professor Tawney was not given the rank of Professor Emeritus, this oversight being due to the fact that he was not placed on a retiring allowance. I recommend that he be given the rank of Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus. O n m o t i o n of M r . F o r n o f , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a d o p t e d . SHORT COURSE FOR WATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATORS (3) The University has been requested to offer a short course for Water Treatment Plant Operators during the second semester of the current year. It is proposed to charge a registration fee of $7.50 to cover the expenses. I recommend authorization of the course and of the fee, the income to be placed in a special account against which the expenses of the course shall be charged, and any surplus remaining to lapse into general University funds. O n m o t i o n of M r . J e n s e n , t h e s e r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s w e r e a d o p t e d . DEGREES AND CREDIT IN COURSES FOR STUDENTS W I T H D R A W I N G TO ENTER MILITARY, NAVAL, OR OTHER NATIONAL DEFENSE SERVICE (4) Last year the University Senate adopted regulations providing that students withdrawing from the University for military or naval service may receive partial credit for the work completed up to the time of withdrawal. That action was for the year 1940-1941. Following the declaration of war the University Senate Committee on Educational Policy was asked to study this matter anew, particularly the question of granting degrees to seniors who withdraw for military or naval service before completing the requirements for graduation. The report of the Committee was submitted to the University Senate at a special meeting held for this purpose on December 18, and the following regulations were adopted, applicable to the undergraduate, graduate, and professional divisions at U r b a n a :
