1358 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [February 22 TRAINING OF MEDICAL SOCIAL WORKERS FOR DIVISION OF SERVICES FOR CRIPPLED C H I L D R E N (2) The Division of Services for Crippled Children is in need of medical social workers specially trained for working with crippled children. To provide for the training of such personnel, the Division in 1947 entered into an agreement with the School of Social Service Administration of the University of Chicago for a medical social training program whereby planned experience and classroom instruction could be secured by both medical social and other social work students and practicing medical social workers. Federal funds from the Children's Bureau are available to pay for this training. Heretofore, this plan has covered only the basic training program at the undergraduate level. The Director of the Division has requested extension of this plan to provide for training at the graduate level. Accordingly, I have approved a supplemental agreement with the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration whereby scholarships will be provided for one or more students in the amount of $800 per quarter for a three-quarter academic year for graduate training in this specialty of medical social service. The cost will be paid from federal funds provided by the Children's Bureau and available for this purpose. I request confirmation of this action. On motion of Mr. Johnston, the President's action was confirmed. HEADSHIP OF DEPARTMENT OF FRENCH (3) Professor Joseph F. Jackson has asked to be relieved of his administrative duties as Head of the Department of French in order to devote all of his time to teaching and scholarship. Accordingly I recommend that Professor Jackson be relieved of the headship of the Department effective March 1, 1952, without change in salary, and that Professor Joseph R. Smiley be appointed Head of the Department of French on indefinite tenure, effective March 1, 1952, at a salary of $8,740 a year (on "A" basis). On motion of Mrs. Watkins, these recommendations were approved. APPOINTMENT OF LEE PAUL EILBRACHT AS ACTING BASEBALL COACH (4) On recommendation of the Director of Athletics and the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association, I have approved the appointment of Mr. Lee P. Eilbracht as Acting Baseball Coach for the 1952 baseball season, February 1 to June 1, 1952, at a salary of $3,000. This temporary appointment does not include any teaching duties. On motion of Mr. Hickman, the action of the President of the University and of the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association in approving this appointment was confirmed. APPROPRIATION FOR GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS FOR 1952-1953 (5) It is necessary that the funds the University has available for graduate fellowships for 1952-1953 be committed at this time so that fellowship awards can be made and announced by April I, 1952. Accordingly, on request of the Dean of the Graduate College, I recommend that: (a) An appropriation of $150,000 be made for the academic year 1952-1953(b) The stipend for first-year fellows be increased from $700 to. $800 and for second-year fellows from $850 to $900. Third-year fellows receive $1,000 and no change in this stipend is proposed. (c) Appointment to a fellowship includes exemption from the payment of tuition fees for the academic year of the fellowship and the summer session immediately following. On motion of Mr. Johnston, these recommendations were approved and the appropriation was made by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Fornof, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Hickman, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mrs. Watkins; no, none; absent, Mr. Grange, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Megran, Mr. Stevenson.
