the President on the program of study, research, or travel contemplated in each case, in accordance with the administrative procedure set up to study such requests. T h e Research Board was able to recommend approval of all applications, and I submitted these with my recommendation to the Board of Trustees. The Board deferred action on them and subsequently the University Research Board was requested to review all cases in the light of present war-time conditions. T h e Research Board has done so and reaffirms its previous recommendation. The applications submitted include two for the full year on half pay, and four for one-half year on full pay. T h e total amount of the salaries during the period of leave of absence involved is $13,550. I therefore resubmit these cases and again recommend that sabbatical leaves of absence be granted as follows. I. Leaves of absence on one-half pay: H. H . Anderson, Associate Professor of Psychology, one year from September I, 1942. Marie M. Hostetter, Assistant Professor of Library Science, one year from September I, 1942. II. Leaves of absence on full pay: R. W. Bartlett, Associate Professor and Associate Chief of Agricultural Economics, first semester, 1942-1943. P. E.
