LEAVE O F ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR GORDON N. RAY

(2) Professor Gordon N. Ray, Head of the Department of English, has requested a leave of absence without pay for the academic year 1952-1953 so that he may accept an appointment as a Visiting Professor at New York University. He has been invited to be the first occupant of the newly created "Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Chair of English and American Literature" at New York University. I have approved this leave and request confirmation of my action. I also recommend that Dean Henning Larsen of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences be appointed Acting Head of the Department of English for the academic year 1952-1953. He was head of that department before he became dean. Professor A. Lionel Stevenson, Head of the Department of English at the University of Southern California, be appointed Visiting Professor of English for the academic year 1952-1953 at a salary of $9,500. He is a distinguished authority on the English novel and the Victorian period in English literature, which is in Professor Ray's field of teaching and scholarship. He will take over the latter's courses, and will also do other teaching during the year.

On motion of Mr. Herrick, this leave was confirmed and the appointments recommended were approved.
