BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 29

MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD

The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University.

APPOINTMENT OF DR. ALLAN G. BRODIE AS ACTING DEAN OF THE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY

(1) T h e Executive Dean of the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy recommends the appointment of Dr. Allan G. Brodie, Professor and H e a d of the Department of Orthodontia, as Acting Dean of the College of Dentistry for one year from September 1, 1044, or a shorter period if a permanent appointment to the deanship is made prior to September I, 1045. It is recommended that Doctor Brodie's appointment be Professor and Head of the Department of Orthodontia on indefinite tenure, on 55 per cent time, at a salary of $5,000, and Acting Dean of the College of Dentistry for one year, on 20 per cent time, at a salary of $2,500, a total salary of $7,500 for the combined positions, effective September 1, 1044. O n m o t i o n of M r . K a r r a k e r , this a p p o i n t m e n t w a s m a d e as r e c o m mended. APPOINTMENT OF PROFESSOR A. R. KNIGHT AS ACTING HEAD OF DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (2) T h e Dean of the College of Engineering recommends that Professor A. R. Knight be appointed Acting Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering beginning September I, 1944, and continuing until further notice at an additional salary of $500 a year while he serves as Acting Head (total salary, $5,600), to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Professor Ellery B. Paine. I concur in this recommendation.

On motion of Mrs. Grigsby, this appointment was made as recommended.

STATUS OF MR. G. P. TUTTLE, REGISTRAR (3) On April 8, 1944, the Board approved a request from Mr. G. P. Tuttle, Registrar, that his status be changed to Registrar on one-quarter time and salary from April I through August 31, 1944., so that he could direct the preparation of a handbook for evaluating educational experiences in the armed forces for secondary schools and colleges. This project has not been completed, and the American Council on Education has asked the University to extend the partial leave of absence granted Mr. Tuttle to January 1, 1945. This is an important educational service not only to the secondary schools and colleges but to war veterans who will wish to continue their formal education. I recommend that Mr. Tuttle be given additional leave of absence without pay, equivalent to three-fourths time, and be appointed Registrar on one-quarter time and salary ($1625 a year) from September 1 through December 31, 1944. O n m o t i o n of M r . J e n s e n , t h i s a p p o i n t m e n t w a s m a d e a s r e c o m mended. SERVICES OF PROFESSOR E. L. BOGART (4) Professor E. L. Bogart of the Department of Economics was retired from active service effective September 1, 1938, under the University of Illinois Statutes and the system of retiring allowances then in effect. Members of the staff retired under these Statutes are subject to call by the Board of Trustees for the performance of such duties as shall be assigned to them by the President of the University. Professor Bogart has been given permission to accept part-time employment as Lecturer in Economics at New York University at a small stipend during the past three years. H e again requests permission to accept such appointment for the year 1044-1045. Since his services will not be required by the University of Illinois I have authorized his acceptance of the position at New York University and request confirmation of my action.

On motion of Mr. Fornof, the action of the President in authorizing this acceptance was approved and confirmed.
