resignation of Mr. Grosse would leave the Board without any accountants who had previous experience with the C.P.A. examinations. Hence the reappointment of Mr. Waggoner, who is willing to continue for the limited period indicated, is desirable. These nominees are willing to serve for the periods indicated if appointed. I concur in these recommendations.

On motion of Mr. Grange, these appointments were approved.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR J O H N T. FLANAGAN (3) Professor John T . Flanagan of the Department of English has been granted a sabbatical leave of absence on one-half pay for the academic year 1952-1953. He has requested that this be changed to leave of absence without pay for the same period so that he may accept a lectureship under a Fulbright grant, one semester to be spent at the University of Bordeaux and one semester at the University of Montpellier in France. I recommend that Professor Flanagan's leave be cancelled, without prejudice, and that he be granted leave without pay for one year from September I, 1952-

On motion of Mr. Fornof, this recommendation was approved.
