ROY P . JOHNSON, DeKalb County F a r m Adviser, April 21, 1941, to November 30, 1941; February I, 1943, through August 31, 1945. ( A r m y ) L U Q L E GINGERICH, McDonough County H o m e Adviser, March 11, 1944, through August 31, 1945. (American Red Cross) DONOVAN HESTER, Menard-Cass County H o m e Adviser, February 4, 1944, through August 31, 1945. (American Red Cross) LUCILE HIESER, Greene County H o m e Adviser, August 9, 1943, through August 31, 1945. (Coast Guard) These leaves were not recommended at the time the members of the staff entered military or naval service because of a misunderstanding on the part of the Extension Service in Agriculture and Home Economics of the provisions under which leaves of absence for military service are granted. In former years F a r m and H o m e Advisers were not appointed as members of the University staff although a part of their salaries was paid by the University from Federal funds. They now have the same status as any other University employees, are participants in the University Retirement System of Illinois, and therefore are eligible to receive leaves of absence for military service. O n m o t i o n of M r . N i c k e l l , t h e s e l e a v e s w e r e g r a n t e d a s r e c o m mended. RECOMMENDATION RELATING TO PATENTABLE DISCOVERIES (3) T h e University Committee on Patents recommends that the Board of Trustees release to the United States Government certain discoveries involving three chemical formulae for the treatment of sea water. These discoveries result from research at the University of Illinois under a contract with the National Defense Research Committee. It is the opinion of those who have been working on the project that while the discoveries are important to the Government they are not of sufficiently broad application and of general usefulness to warrant an expenditure by the University in the procurement of a patent.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, these discoveries were released as recommended.

GRADUATE C U R R I C U L U M IN CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY (4) F o r the past ten years a graduate program leading to the degree of Master of Arts, sometimes in Psychology and sometimes in Juvenile Behavior, has been offered jointly by the Department of Psychology, the Department of Criminology, Social Hygiene, and Medical Jurisprudence, and the Institute for Juvenile Research. This program has consisted of either one or two semesters of work on the Urbana campus with a major in Psychology and a minimum of six months of work at the Institute for Juvenile Research. Certain changes in the program have become desirable. As a result the University Senate, on recommendations of the two departments concerned—the Graduate School and the Institute—recommends that the degree of Master of Science in Clinical Psychology be established, to be conferred on students meeting the following requirements: ( a ) Completion of undergraduate work sufficient to qualify for full graduate standing in psychology. This work shall include at least one course each in statistics, child psychology, and clinical psychology, and a total of not less than sixteen hours of psychology. (b) Completion of eight units of graduate work, with not less than four units in psychology, and not less than two units to be chosen from education and sociology (or other department on recommendation of the Department of Psychology and the approval of the Dean of the Graduate School). (c) Completion of in internship consisting of six calendar months of supervised clinical experience at the Institute for Juvenile Research ( o r other institution, agency, or department, on recommendation by the Department of Psychology and the approval of the Dean of the Graduate School). T h e proposal has also received the approval of the Graduate School. I concur in the recommendation.

On motion of Mr. McKelvey, these changes were approved and adopted.
