37° BOARD OF TRUSTEES [September 24 qualified for the J . D . degree but due to an error in the recording of one of her final grades she was recommended to the University Senate (and by the Senate to the Board of Trustees) as a candidate for the LL.B. degree. Since this is a clerical error, the Secretary of the Board requests that the Minutes of the meeting of the Board of Trustees on September 19, 1951, in which the degrees conferred as of August 20, 1951, are listed, be amended on page 1247 to show that Mrs. Mary Hull Naumoff has been awarded the degree of Doctor of Law. O n m o t i o n of M r . H i c k m a n , t h i s a m e n d m e n t of t h e m i n u t e s w a s adopted. COLLEGE ADVISORY COMMITTEE IN VETERINARY MEDICINE (4) The Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine recommends the following new appointments to the advisory committee of the College of Veterinary Medicine for a term of three years beginning September 1, 1952, for the terms indicated. D R . ART H. GAFFIN, Clinton, 1952-1955 D R . CLIFFORD L. M C G I N N I S , Peoria, 1952-1955 D R . WAYNE H. RISER, Skokie, 1952-1955 D R . W. A. BEARD, Greenview, 1952-1955 The following members of the Committee, having been appointed in 1951 for a period of three years, are being continued. DR. DR. DR. MR. MR. DR. WARREN E. AMLING, Pana, 1951-1954 L E W I S A. DYKSTRA, Aurora, 1951-1954 CLIFFORD A. LEMEN, Warrensburg, 1951-1954 OSCAR LINN, Canton, 1951-1954 RUSSELL V. M C K E E , Varna, 1951-1954 ARTHUR M. ORUM, Carthage, 1951-1954 I concur. On motion of Mr. Grange, these appointments were approved. PATENTABLE DISCOVERIES (5) On October 23, 1951, the University Patent Committee recommended, and the Board of Trustees approved, the release to Dr. E. L. Hahn, former graduate student in the Department of Physics, the University's interest in his discovery of a transitron nuclear magnetic resonance detector. Prior thereto a patent search indicated that there would be no advantage to the University in securing patent protection since a fundamental patent on the device had been granted to others. It now appears that Dr. Hahn is not interested in patenting this device personally but t h e Office of Naval Research which supported the research work he was doing when he developed this device has expressed an interest. Hence, to clear the record, the Committee recommends that the action of the Board of Trustees of October 23, 1951, be rescinded and that all rights to this invention be released to the United States Navy. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . M e g r a n , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d .
