152 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [October 21 Professor Stearns has requested that his leave be deferred for the convenience of the University because the Department of History has recently suffered major losses in the death of Professor Theodore C. Pease, former Head of the Department, and in the resignation of Professor Charles E. Odegaard. I recommend cancellation of this leave without prejudice as to future reinstatement. On motion of Mr. Davis, this recommendation was adopted. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR STANLEY D. TYLMAN (19) Dr. Stanley D. Tylman, Professor and Head of the Department of Crowns and Fixed Partial Dentures, College of Dentistry, has been invited to give a series of clinics and conferences for the dental faculties of the Universities of Buenos Aires and Cordoba in Argentina. The United States Department of State has asked that this teaching mission be undertaken. The Dean of the College of Dentistry and the Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges recommend that he be given a leave of absence with full pay during the months of November and December, 1948. His duties will be taken over by other members of the faculty so that there will be no additional expense to the University. I have authorized this leave of absence and request confirmation of my action. On motion of Mr. Williamson, this leave was granted as recommended. INCREASE IN CONTRACT FOR FLOORING IN STADIUM (20) On September 23, 1948 (Minutes, page 83), the Board of Trustees awarded a contract for asphalt tile flooring to W. Lewis and Company in the amount of $6,107.77 as a part of the program of restoration and improvement of the West Great Hall of the Stadium. After the bids had been received for this flooring, the Athletic Association requested the addition of asphalt tile markings for the basketball courts. The asphalt tile markings are preferred to the painted markings because they are more permanent and economical over a long period of usage. The Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Comptroller recommend an increase of $1,020 in the contract with W . Lewis and Company to provide for this additional installation to be paid for by the Athletic Association. I recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this addition to the above contract. On motion of MT . Williamson, authority was given as recommended.
