BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[March 13

ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES IN RESEARCH HOSPITALS A N D BUSINESS OFFICE (8) Since March 1, 1944, the positions of Superintendent of the Research and Educational Hospitals and Business Manager of the Chicago Colleges have been carried by John E. Millizen. It has become essential to return as soon as possible to the former organization of full-time persons in each of these positions. On the recommendation and advice of the Executive Dean and the Comptroller, I recommend the following appointments to be effective July 1, 1945, or as soon thereafter as the transfers can be accomplished: JOHN E. MILLIZEN, now Business Manager of the Chicago Colleges and Acting Superintendent of the Hospitals ($7,000), to be Administrator of the Research and Educational Hospitals at a salary of $7,500 a year. HOWARD A. HAZLETON, now Assistant Comptroller ($4,800), to be Business Manager of the Chicago Colleges at a salary of $6,000 a year. CHARLES CLIFTON DELONG, now Senior Accountant in the Business Office and Instructor in Accountancy ($3,300), to be Assistant Comptroller and Instructor in Accountancy at a total salary of $4,200 a year.

On motion of Mr. Fornof, these appointments were made as recommended.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (9) T h e by-laws of the University of Illinois Athletic Association provide for the appointment of its Board of Directors by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois at its annual meeting in March of each year. Nominations are made to the Board of Trustees by the President of the University. There are seven members, three selected from the membership of the Alumni Association and four from the faculty of the University. In 1940 the Board of Trustees adopted a policy of making periodical changes in the personnel of the Board of Directors in the interest of securing new points of view and getting various classes of community and alumni representation. Last year the President of the University recommended that because of the financial and other problems of the Athletic Association created by war conditions and the uncertainty of the future, it would be desirable to retain the present Board of Directors, and the Board reappointed them. T h e same conditions still exist and it seems advisable, all things considered, to make no changes in the personnel of the Board of Directors at this time. Accordingly, I recommend the following reappointments: Faculty ROBERT B. BROWNE, Associate Professor of Education, Director of University Extension, and Director of the Summer Semester. LESLIE E. CARD, Professor of Poultry Husbandry.

GEORGE B. WEISIGER, P r o f e s s o r of Law.

DONALD L. KEMMERER, Assistant Professor of Economics. Alumni WALDO B. AMES, Class of 1917, Insurance Broker, 175 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago. CHARLES W H A M , Class of 1912, Attorney, Centralia. LOWELL A. SFURGEON, Class of 1938, c/o J. L. Clark Manufacturing Company, Rockford.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, these appointments were made as recommended.
