374 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [February 24 1. That the University Library be named the David Kinley Memorial Library. 2. That the avenue on the. east side of the quadrangle between the Auditorium and the Mini Union Building be named as a memorial to Robert F . Carr. On motion of Mr. Davis, these recommendations were adopted. DIRECTOR O F NONACADEMIC PERSONNEL INTRODUCED At this point, President Livingston introduced Mr. Donald E. Dickason, recently appointed Director of Nonacademic Personnel. EXECUTIVE SESSION The Board, in executive session, continued its consideration of matters presented by the President of the University. SABBATICAL LEAVES O F ABSENCE DURING 1 9 4 5 - 1 9 4 6 (14) A recommendation that the following members of the faculty be given sabbatical leaves during the academic year 1945-1946 in accordance with the provisions of the University Statutes: One-half Year, on Full Pay: Professor HORACE J. MACINTIEE, first semester. Professor FRANCIS G. WILSON, first semester. Associate Professor CLYDE F . SNIDER, second semester. Full Year, One-half Pay: Professor Professor Associate Assistant T. W . BALDWIN. E. T. H I I X E R . Professor J A N E C. W A T T . Professor LAURA J. HUELSTER. It is proposed that Professor Baldwin also be given a half-time appointment on one-half pay for the year 1945-1946 as a Research Professor in the Graduate School, so that altogether he will be given full pay. This is desirable in the judgment of the Research Board to make his studies abroad more effective. H e is one of the outstanding Shaksperean scholars, and it is necessary that he make use of much material available only in England in his research program. There is no case of any other investigator at the University which closely parallels this one. In each of the above cases the head of the department and the Dean or Director have stated that provision will be made by the department for carrying on the work of the absentee without additional expense to the University. In the case of Professor Baldwin, his leave is conditional on the status of the war, since he wishes to spend the year in England. If circumstances are not feasible for the leave at the time proposed, then he wishes to begin his full-year leave with the second semester of 1045-1946, or if circumstances seem to him to demand it, he will wish to have the authorization of leave cancelled without prejudice to his interests in regard to a sabbatical leave at some future date. Following is a summary of the purpose for which sabbatical leave has been requested in each of the above cases: T. W . BALDWIN, Professor of English, for research work on Shaksperean volumes which he is preparing for publication, the material for which is more easily available in England. While doing this research he would also be searching for books for the University of Illinois Library. H e states that it is particularly important that someone be in London as the w a r settles down and the books begin to flow into the market again. E. T. HILLER, Professor of Sociology, for a study of the nature of social institutions, in the Library of Congress, and the libraries of H a r v a r d , Princeton, Yale, and Columbia Universities. F o r reasons of health, he will also wish to reside during a part of the time in Arizona, or on the West Coast. LAURA J.
