     Doctor Marks and P. P. Johnston, Jr., on the call of

the College of Arts and Science that Professor C. P. Weaver
be given a leave of absence for one year with $1000 of his
salary, in order thrt he might take a Ph.D. degree in anhther

Professor C. P. Weaver be granted upon the following conditions:

     First--The University to pay him $1000 for the year, as
other salaries are paid unless prevented from so doing.

     Second--That the University shall have the right up to
July 1, 1918 to require Professor Weaver to return to the
University, but unles8 the said Professor Weaver is so noti-
fled, his services not to be required. Duly seconded, this
motion was adopted by unanimous vote.

     Dean Miller of the Oollee of Arts and Scienoe submitted
the following communication:

                                 July 16, 1917.
