LEAVE O F ABSENCE FOR H. L. DAVIS

(4) A report that Associate Professor H. L. Davis of the College of Pharmacy has been given a leave of absence on one-half pay for six months beginning April 1, 1945, and has been authorized to accept employment on a secret war research project at the University of Chicago at a compensation amounting to approximately one-half of his University salary. This is not a sabbatical leave but is granted because of the reduced teaching load in the College of Pharmacy, as a result of which Professor Davis's services can be spared during the period of the leave It conforms with both criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees as a policy governing leaves of absence during the war.

On motion of Mr. Davis, the action of the President in granting this leave was approved and confirmed.

SABBATICAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR ASSISTANT PROFESSOR F. L. W I L L

(5) Assistant Professor Frederick L. Will of the Department of Philosophy has been granted a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship for the academic year 1945-1046 for scholarly research. He plans to devote the time to systematic completion of his studies in the theory of knowledge with a view to publishing the results. This is a recognition of his present professional standing and promise of future professional development as a scholar. It reflects credit on the Philosophy Department and the University as well as the recipient. Professor Will can not take advantage of this fellowship on the basis of the stipend alone. He is eligible for a sabbatical leave of absence. While such leave can not be related to the war effort, it would be a distinct advantage to the University to have him take it next year in combination with the fellowship instead of at some future time. The provisions in the University of Illinois Statutes relating to sabbatical leaves of absence permit a member of the staff while on leave to accept a scholarship or fellowship carrying a stipend for the purpose of study, research, or scientific investigation, provided the acceptance of such grant does not impose any obligations the performance of which would be incompatible with the general purpose for which leave of absence has been granted. In the case of Professor Will the acceptance of the Guggenheim Fellowship would supplement the purpose for which leave would be granted by the University.
