3i° BOARD OF TRUSTEES [March 27 During the war years few leaves were granted. In fact, the Board of Trustees voted to suspend the granting of sabbatical leaves for the duration of the war except in very special cases. Sixteen applications for sabbatical leaves of absence during the academic year 1947-1948 have been received. In accordance with long-established practice, the applications were submitted to the University Research Board for its advice to the President. T h e Research Board reviewed the program of study, research, or travel contemplated in each case, and its value to the University. The Research Board has recommended approval of the following applications for leave: LEAVES OF ABSENCE FOR O N E - H A L F YEAR ON F U L L P A Y A. S. COLBY, Professor of Pomology, second semester. C. M. KNEIER, Professor of Political Science, second semester. J. G. RANDALL, Professor of History, first semester. F. W . TANNER, Professor of Bacteriology, second semester. OSWALD TIPPO, Assistant Professor of Botany, second semester. E. J. WORKING, Professor of Agricultural Economics, second semester. FLORIAN ZNANIECKI, Professor of Sociology, second semester. LEAVES OF ABSENCE FOR THE FULL YEAR ON O N E - H A L F P A Y W . G. JOHNSON, Assistant Professor of English. R U T H KELSO, Assistant Professor of English. B. E. PERRY, Professor of Classics, Acting Head of the Department. A. W . SECORD, Professor of English. ARLENE WOLFRAM, Home Adviser. P. T. YOUNG, Professor of Psychology. Although some of the temporary replacements will be difficult, I am informed by the Provost that arrangements can be made in each case. With respect to Professor Perry, it is understood that his leave is contingent on the appointment of a Chairman of the Department of Classics by September 1. W i t h respect to all these leaves, the University will reserve the right of postponement, without prejudice, if in the judgment of the President and the Dean or Director concerned such postponement is necessary for the welfare of the University. I concur and recommend that sabbatical leaves be granted to the thirteen staff members as indicated above. On motion of Mr. McLaughlin, these leaves were granted as recommended. DEPARTMENT OF SPEECH (5) I recommend that the Board of Trustees authorize the establishment of a new Department of Speech in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to which would be transferred the present personnel and instructional programs in speech or public speaking, now a part of the Department of English. I further recommend that Dr. Karl R. Wallace, now Chairman of the School of Speech and Drama at the University of Virginia, be appointed P r o fessor and Head of the Department of Speech on indefinite tenure beginning August 1, 1947, at an annual salary of $8,000. On motion of Mr. Davis, this department was established and the head was appointed as recommended. ARCHITECTS FOR NURSES RESIDENCE (6) The Vice-President of the Chicago Professional Colleges and the Director of the Physical Plant Department recommend employment of the firm of Perkins and Will, 309 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, for architectural services for the Nurses Residence in Chicago. I concur in this recommendation. Director Havens reports that Mr. John C. Goodall, an alumnus of the University of Illinois, Class of 1925, is a member of this firm, On motion of Mr. Williamson, the employment of this firm was authorized as recommended. '
