1196 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [September 19 lie; Clinton Bush, representing labor; and G. W. Hoelscher, representing management. These three members were appointed to the committee for two-year terms in July, 1949, when the present rotation plan was adopted. They were originally appointed to the committee in 1947. To fill the vacancy on the advisory committee of the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations created by the resignation of Mr. Wayne A. Johnston when he became a member of the Board of Trustees of the University, the Acting Director recommends the appointment of Mr. John McCaffrey, 180 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago. This will be for the period of Mr. Johnston's term, 1950-1953. I concur. On motion of Mr. Johnston, these appointments were approved as recommended. RELEASE O F PATENTABLE DISCOVERY (10) Professor I. C. Gunsalus of the Department of Bacteriology reports that in the course of his researches during the past several years, both at the University of Illinois and elsewhere, he has isolated a new B vitamin, the value of which has not been established. He has asked whether or not the University desires to seek patent protection. This discovery, like numerous others which result from research in the biological and chemical sciences, is the sort that requires additional research in related fields to make the results useful. The, University is not set up to carry on such additional researches unless additional funds are forthcoming from some other source. Accordingly, the Head of the Department of Bacteriology and the University Research Board recommend that the discovery be released to Professor Gunsalus to deal with as he chooses. In the opinion of the Board the cost of securing a patent would exceed any probable income. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Holt, this recommendation was approved.
