996 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 31 MEETING O F T H E E X E C U T I V E COMMITTEE JANUARY 31, 1946 A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois was held at the University Club, in Chicago, on the afternoon of Thursday, January 31, 1946, immediately following the adjournment of the meeting of the Board of Trustees on the same day. Mr. Livingston, Chairman, and Mr. Davis, a member of the Executive Committee, were present; also Mr. McKelvey, Mr. McLaughlin, and Mr. Williamson, members of the Board; also President Willard and the officers enumerated on page 969 above as in attendance on the meeting of the Board. MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD T h e Executive Committee considered the following matters presented by the President of the University. REQUEST OF INSTITUTE OF MEAT PACKING FOR SERVICES OF PROFESSOR E. J . WORKING (1) The Institute of Meat Packing, School of Business, University of Chicago, has requested the services of Professor E. J. Working of the Department of Agricultural Economics at the University of Illinois for a study of the demand for meat. H e is professionally highly qualified to make this study. T h e original request would have involved granting Professor Working a leave of absense without pay for one year. This proposal was not acceptable to the University of Illinois or to Professor Working, since he is eligible and has made application for a sabbatical leave of absence for the second semester of 1946-1947 for the purpose of research and writing on the relation of industrial wage rates to agriculture. T h e Institute of Meat Packing has agreed to the following modified counter proposal from the University of Illinois: T h e University of Illinois would arrange for Professor Working, while remaining on its staff and paid by this University, to devote approximately onehalf of his time during the remainder of the current academic year, 1945-1946, to the study sponsored by the Institute of Meat Packing. In addition, he would be permitted to use the services of his assistant for statistical work, and the University would supply the necessary stenographic service while he is working on the project here. Since he will have finished his obligations to the University of Illinois for the academic year 1945-1946 by June, 1946, he would be free to accept employment by the University of Chicago from that date until the end of February, 1947. In return for the large contribution which the University of Illinois would be making to this project, it would expect appropriate credit. In particular, the cover and title pages of any publications resulting from the study should state that these are the results of a joint study by the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois. Furthermore, full credit should be given to Professor Working with a statement as to the joint arrangement under which he was made available for conducting the study for the American Meat Institute and the University of Chicago. It should also be understood by all concerned that this arrangement would not operate to prejudice in any way the application of Professor W o r k i n g for a sabbatical leave of absence on full pay for the second semester of 1946-1947. Furthermore, it should be definitely understood that if he is granted such sabbatical leave he would not be employed by the University of Chicago during the period of the leave. I recommend that: I. Professor E. J. W o r k i n g be authorized to make a study of the demand for meat for the Institute of Meat Packing, School of Business, University of
