DIRECTORSHIP O F T H E SMALL HOMES C O U N C I L

(3) Professor William H. Scheick of the Department of Architecture and Director of the Small Homes Council has submitted his resignation effective September 1, 1951. He has been on leave of absence without pay since September I, 1949, serving as Director of the Building Research Advisory Board of the National Research Council. He was released by the University for this service for the year 1949-1950 during which he organized the Building Research Advisory Board and initiated research projects. At the urgent request of the National Research Council, he was given leave of absence for another year. Now the officers of the Council and of the National Academy of Sciences have asked him to continue in this assignment indefinitely, and he has decided to stay with the Board. I have accepted his resignation and request confirmation of my action. I recommend also that Professor James T. Lendrum of the Department of Architecture and Associate Director of the Small Homes Council, who has been serving as Acting Director during Professor Scheick's absence, be appointed Director effective September 1, 1951, at a salary of $9,000 a year (Y basis).

On motion of Mr. Nickell, the action of the President was confirmed and the appointment of Professor Lendrum was approved.

SCHOLARSHIPS I N LAW

(4) The Dean of the College of Law recommends that there be established ten scholarships at $250 each plus exemption from tuition, to be made available each year to beginning law students selected on the basis of scholarship and promise of achievement and renewable as the holders progress through the years of their attendance. The renewal in each case would be conditioned upon the student having made (1) at least a B average in his first year to be eligible for a scholarship in his second year and (2) at least a B average in his law work for two years to be eligible for a scholarship in his third year. These scholarships will be awarded by a committee of the faculty of the College of Law. Provision for the scholarships has been made in the budget for I95I-I9S2. I concur.

This proposal was referred to the Committee on General Policy for consideration and advice.
