Minutes of the Faculty of the University - July 15. 1943

President Donovan, if such a policy should be adopted, that it should
be carefully publicized in advance. The Faculty approved the general
proposal and recommended that steps be taken to initiate it.

The Faculty heard a letter addressed to President Donovan by
E. L. McClurkan, a minister in Pineville, Kentucky. This letter was
written on behalf of Harry G. Mullens, a former student who was killed
in a plane crash on Saturday, June 26, While serving in the U.S. Army
Air Corps. Mr. McClurkan was inquiring as to whether it might not
be possible to grant this boy a degree posthumously. As investiga~
tion indicated that Mr. Mullens was approximately 60 quarter hours
short of graduation at the time he left the University, and that his
standing was below one, it was impossible for the Faculty to comply
with this request.

MINUTES or THE FACULTY or THE UNIVERSITY 9 August 25, 1943

The Faculty of the University met in President Donovan's Office,
Wednesday, August 25. President Donovan presided. Members present were
W. D. Funkhouser, Assistant Deans L. J. Horlacher, D. V. Terrell, and
M. M. White, and Professor Frank H. Randall also attended the meeting.

The minutes of July 15 were read and approved, with one amendment
which deleted the instruction to the Secretary to prepare a resolution
to be sent to the parents of Mr. Harry G. Midlins. It had appeared,
after due consideration, that such a resolution might, if given publij
ity, embarrass the University, since no such resolution had been pre'9
pared regarding any other boys who have lost their lives in the war.

The Secretary presented to the Faculty the revised copy of the
rules of the University Faculty. It was explained that an endeavor was
being made to bring these rules up to date in order that the new Univerw
sity Faculty might have available at the time of its first meeting both
a revised and modernized statement of the Governing Regulations of the
University and an upeto~date copy of the Rules of the Faculty. Most
of the changes submitted for the consideration of the Faculty were addia
tions that had been made to the rules from time to time by that body»

A few changes were suggested, the more important ones relating to
student load and social life. The Rules of the University Faculty as
approved are made a part of these minutes by reference to the files

of the Registrar's Office»

President Donovan announced to the Faculty that the University would
observe a holiday on Labor Day in all departments and offices, including
the ASTP.

President DonQVan also called the attention of the Faculty to an
apparent misunderstanding about the administration of departmental and
college budgets. He pointed out that when a person resigns or when for
some other reason a saving is effected in that part of the budget identi—
fied as ”personal services", such monies as are thus no longer assigned
revert to the unappointed funds of the University. He stated that such
monies could not be transferred to ”nonnpersonal services",to "supplies
and materials”, or to "capital outlay", and that they could only be
reassigned as salaries after formal approval by the Board of Trustees.

President Donovan also explained to the Faculty the reason for the
recent action of the Board of Trustees in changing the policy with
respect to faculty leaves of absence. He indicated thm; conditions are
now such that the University can no longer afford to release members
of its staff and that it would be necessary from now on to resist out~
side influences that seek to encourage staff members to enter other
types of service.
