RETIREMENT O F PROFESSOR J O H N S . KELLOGG (5) Dr. John S. Kellogg, Professor of Prosthetic Dentistry, has requested that he be retired from active service on September 1, 1945, for reasons of health. Doctor Kellogg will reach the age of 65 in April, 1945. T h e University Retirement System L a w provides that on attaining the age of 65 a member of t h e staff may retire for substantial cause on request and on certification of the University, and receive an annuity based upon the same formula as would apply in case of compulsory retirement at age 68. In his case this annuity will amount to 50 per cent of his Final Rate of Earnings as defined in the Retirement Act. I recommend approval of Doctor Kellogg's request, and that he be retired with the title of Professor of Prosthetic Dentistry, Emeritus, effective September

1, 1945-

On motion of Mrs. Grigsby, this recommendation was approved.
