Farber, Assistant Comptroller, who acted as Clerk. Mr. Walter W.

BUSINESS PRESENTED BY T H E PRESIDENT OF T H E UNIVERSITY The Executive Committee considered the following recommendations and reports presented by President Stoddard. LEAVE O F ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR W I L L I A M H . SCHEICK (1) Professor William H. Scheick, Director of the Small Homes Council, was granted leave of absence without pay for the year 1949-1950 for service as Executive Director of the Building Research Advisory Board of the National Research Council. He spent the year organizing the "Building Research Advisory Board" and initiating research projects. At the urgent request of the Chairman of the Council, I have authorized the extension of Professor Scheick's leave of absence without pay for one year, beginning September 1, 1950, and request confirmation of this action. On motion of Mr. Livingston, the extension of this leave of absence was approved. CANCELLATION OF LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR CLARETA WALKER (2) Miss Clareta Walker, Assistant Professor of Rural Youth in Home Economics Extension, was given sabbatical leave of absence on one-half pay for the academic year, beginning September I, 1950. She has requested, partly for the convenience of the University and partly because of changes in her personal plans, that her leave be deferred. I recommend that it be canceled without prejudice as to a future leave. On motion of Mr. Livingston, this leave was cancelled without prejudice as to a future leave. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PROFESSOR J O H N M. KUYPERS AS DIRECTOR O F T H E SCHOOL O F MUSIC (3) In accordance with his request of August 16, 1950, I recommend that Professor John M.
