Morris, Business Manager, Mr. Edward V. Miles, Jr., and Administrative Assistant to the President, Dr. Charles D. Tenney, of Southern Illinois University. MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT STODDARD The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR DEAN MIRIAM A. SHELDEN AND APPOINTMENT OF ACTING DEAN OF W O M E N (1) On recommendation of the Dean of Students, I have authorized 1. An extension of Dean Miriam A. Shelden's leave of absence without pay from November I, 1949, through June 30, 1950; 2. The appointment of Miss Agnes G. Tandberg, Assistant Dean of Women, as Acting Dean of Women effective November 1, 1949, and continuing to June 30, 1950, inclusive, at an additional salary of $100 a month for that period. Confirmation of these actions is requested. O n m o t i o n of M r s . H o l t , t h e s e a c t i o n s w e r e c o n f i r m e d . SABBATICAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR RAYMOND P. STEARNS (2) Professor Raymond P . Stearns of the Department of History was given a sabbatical leave of absence on full pay for the first semester of 1949-1950. He has requested that his leave be changed to sabbatical leave on one-half pay for the full academic year, 1949-1950. H e has found in London, where he is doing research, a mass of material far beyond his previous expectations. In order to make the most of this opportunity, he needs to be there a full year. The courses given by Professor Stearns will be taken over by other members of the department, and one-half of his salary will be released for the employment of such additional staff as may be necessary. The Head of the Department of History and the Dean of the College recommend approval. I concur. On motion of Mr. Fornof, this request was granted. RESIGNATION OF DEAN J O H N B. YOUMANS (3) Dr. John B. Youmans, Professor of Medicine, Dean of the College of Medicine, Medical Director of the Research and Educational Hospitals and of the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary, has accepted a position as Professor of Medicine and Dean of the School of Medicine at Vanderbilt University. H e has submitted his resignation from the University of Illinois faculty and asks to be released as of March I, 1950. Vice-President A. C. Ivy and I recommend that his request be granted. The University is losing an outstanding scholar and medical leader. Dean Youmans's many public and private achievements in medicine in the last two decades have brought him national fame. Vanderbilt University will gain conspicuously in his return to the campus where he had already served with distinction. O n m o t i o n of D r . M e y e r , t h i s r e s i g n a t i o n w a s a c c e p t e d a s r e c o m mended, and the President w a s instructed to convey to Dr. Y o u m a n s a n e x p r e s s i o n o f t h e r e g r e t of t h e B o a r d a t h i s l e a v i n g a n d of g o o d wishes for his success a n d happiness.
