On motion of Mrs. Watkins, these certificates were awarded. APPOINTMENT OF PROFESSOR GORDON RAY AS VICE-PRESIDENT AND PROVOST OF T H E UNIVERSITY (5) I recommend the appointment of Dr. Gordon Ray, now Professor and Head of the Department of English, as Professor of English on indefinite tenure and Vice-President and Provost of the University for two years beginning September I, 1957, at a total salary of $21,000, on a twelve-months' basis, with the understanding that this salary will be subject to adjustment upward when adjustments of other academic and administrative salaries are in order. I also request authorization to appoint Professor Ray on special administrative assignment for two months during the summer of 1957 so that he may work with Vice-President and Provost Larsen prior to taking over the latter's duties. This administrative appointment will be at the standard summer session rate. In considering potential candidates for this appointment, I consulted the deans of the colleges, directors of the schools and institutes, other administrative officers, and representative members of the faculty. On motion of Mr. Swain, this appointment was approved. AWARD OF HONORARY DEGREE (6) The University Senate recommends that the honorary degree of Doctor of Science be awarded in June, 1957, to Professor Roger Adams of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, who will retire on September 1, 1957. after forty-one years of active service. H e served as Head of the Department of Chemistry from 1926 until 1954 when he asked to be relieved of the headship. Since then he has been Research Professor of Organic Chemistry. I submit the report of the Senate Committee on H o n o r a r y Degrees in support of its recommendation to the Senate and a copy is filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. On motion of Mr. Herrick, authority to confer this degree was granted the President of the University.
