ERICKSON (2) T h e Under Secretary of the Army has requested that Dr. Edgar L. Erickson, Associate Professor of History, be granted a leave of absence from the University for service to the Department of the Army in the writing of its war history. As an officer in the Army of the United States, and later as a civilian staff member of the Civil Affairs Division, Professor Erickson conducted research in the records of the World W a r I I military government experiences. Since his return to the University, the research has been completed and Professor Erickson now is needed to write that portion of the history pertaining to Germany and Austria. It is anticipated that this work can be completed during the second semester and summer of the current academic year. The Department of the Army will make satisfactory salary arrangements with Professor Erickson covering the full period of his services. I recommend that Professor Erickson be given a leave of absence without pay from March 1 to September 1, 1048.

On motion of Mrs. Holt, this leave was granted as recommended.

Professor Weber will be 66 years of age on March 6, 1948, and has requested retirement because of his health. At the end of the current semester Professor Weber will have been in the service of the University 25J4 years. H e has been granted sick leave from November 1, 1047, until May 1, 1048. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Nickell, this retirement was authorized as recommended.
