LEAVE O F ABSENCE FOR DR. DAVID E. LINDSTROM (2) Dr. David E. Lindstrom, Professor of Rural Sociology, has been invited to accept a temporary appointment on the staff of the International Christian University in Japan. I recommend that he be given a leave of absence without pay for a period of three years from January 1, 1953, so that he may accept this assignment. This will be an important service to a new University now being developed in Japan under the presidency of Dr. Hachiro Yuasa, a graduate of the University of Illinois. On motion of Mr. Nickell, this leave was granted. LEAVE O F ABSENCE FOR DR. A . C . IVY (3) On his request, I have granted Dr. A. C. Ivy a leave of absence from his administrative position as Vice-President in Charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges for two months beginning January 1, 1952, with the understanding that he will continue his work as Distinguished Professor of Physiology and as Head of the Department of Clinical Science in which capacities he will be free to work intensively on his research programs. No change of salary is proposed. I recommend that Dean E. R. Series, as the senior dean of the Chicago Professional Colleges, be designated as the over-all administrative officer for these Colleges during the two-month period, without change in salary or title. On motion of Mrs. Holt, the President's action was confirmed and his recommendation for the designation of Dean Series as the administrative officer for the Chicago Professional Colleges for two months beginning January 1, 1952, was approved. HEARING COMMITTEE O N DISCHARGE O F ROBERT TAYLOR {4) It is recommended that the Committee appointed by the Board of Trustees on November 23, 1951, to hear the charge against Robert Taylor, kitchen laborer in the Housing Division, be discharged. Mr. Taylor has reconsidered his request for this hearing and has resigned effective at the close of business October 31, 1931, his last day of service. This action eliminates the necessity for a hearing. On motion of Mr. Megran, the Committee was discharged from its assignment CHANGE IN GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR BACHELOR O F ARTS DEGREE (5) In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree students in the general curriculum in Liberal Arts and Sciences are now required to complete at least an eight-semester-hour sequence of courses in each of these areas: (a) humanities, (b) biological science, (c) physical science, and (d) social science.
