BOARD OF DIRECTORS O F THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (3) The 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. I submit the following nominations for reappointments and new appointments to the Board of Directors: Faculty LESLIE E. CARD, Professor of Poultry Husbandry

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

FRANK H. BEACH, Associate Professor of Business Organization and Operation CHARLES W . SANFORD, Associate Professor of Education and Coordinator of Teacher Education (new appointment) Alumni LOWELL A. SFURGEON, Class of 1938, Spengler-Loomis Manufacturing Company, Rock ford C. E. LOVEJOY, Class of 1920, Vice-President of Bill Brothers Publishing Corporation, 333 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago MILTON M. OLANDER, Class of 1922, Director of Industrial Relations, OwensIllinois Glass Company, Toledo, Ohio (new appointment) Professor Sanford will replace Professor R. B. Browne, Director of University Extension, who has served a s a member of the Board of Directors since July, 1941. Professor Sanford has been a member of the University faculty since 1930. From 1932 to 1943 he served as Principal of the University High School and for the past three and one-half years he has been Coordinator of Teacher Education. Mr. Olander will replace Mr. Waldo B. Ames, who also has been a member of the Board of Directors since July, 1941. Mr. Olander is an alumnus of the University of Illinois, Class of 1922. While an undergraduate student he was on the Varsity Football Squad for four seasons and on the Freshman Track Team. H e was also a member of the Coaching staff from September, 1924, until February, 1935, when he resigned to accept a position as Personnel Director for the Owens-Illinois Glass Company at Toledo. H e is now Director of Industrial Relations of that company. Mr. Olander served for a short period (March II to July 15, 1941) on the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association, and it seems appropriate that he be reappointed at this time for a longer period.

On motion of Mr. Williamson, these directors were appointed as recommended.

SABBATICAL LEAVES OF ABSENCE

(4) The University Statutes provide that on recommendation of the Head of the Department, the Dean of the College, the President of the University, and with the approval of the Board of Trustees, a member of the faculty of professorial rank who has served at least six years since his original appointment or since termination of his last sabbatical leave may be granted a leave of absence for one year on one-half pay for the purpose of study, research, or other pursuit, the object of which enables him to increase his professional proficiency and usefulness to the University. In lieu of this privilege, leave may be granted for a half-year for the same purpose, on full pay, provided, that the department in which the applicant is teaching or working undertakes to carry on, so far as practicable, during his absence and without increase in the departmental budget, such of his work as the interests of the University require to be continued without interruption. A leave may also be granted for a half-year on one-half pay at the end of three consecutive years of service, provided that the granting of the leave does not involve expense to the University in excess of the portion of salary released. A member of the faculty to whom a leave has been granted agrees to return to the University on the expiration of his leave and remain in its service for at least one year thereafter, and the University also agrees to retain him in service for at least one year after his return from leave.
