Since my salary there has been reduced materially, I thought maybe you might be willing to carry me on the pay roll during the coming school year. I think there are a few that have been carried on the pay roll one way or the othere If a deal of this nature can be arranged, it would be a great help to me in getting adjusted elsewhere. ; Before I resign formally, there is a matter I would like to have brought to the attention of the Universitye I came to Kansas University in the fall of 1925 at a salary of $2200 for twelve monthse The fiscal year on the contract reads from September 1925.. July Ist 1926 the contract was changed to read fiscal year from July lst. This case carries the same status as that of Cappon, Steele, Lookabaugh and Sabee According to my addition I have $366.66 due me from the University of Kansas. What do you intend to do about it? Very truly yours, Herbert Ge. Allphin 556 Spurgeon Ft. Worth, Texas University of Kansas Lawrence Office of The Chancellor September 23, 190 TO THE FaCULTY AND EMPLOYEES: Pursuant to a regulation of the Board of Regents, each member of the Faculty and each employee of the University is required to be given an annual tuberculin test. This regulation is designed for the further pro- tection of our students against tuberculosis, and will be offered by the Watkins Memorial Hospital, on the Hill. Please report to the hospital at your earliest convenience between the hours of 8 to 12 a.m. and 2 to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday inclusive or from & to 12 a.m. on Saturday. The test consists of a minute skin injection. If the test is positive a slight irritation will be produced. It will be necessary to return to the hospital in two days for observation of the test. Those having a positive reaction, indicating sensi- tivity to the tubercle bacilli, will be X-rayed as a further check. Positive reaction does not at all necessarily indicate tuberculosis. No charge will be made for the tuterculin, X-ray, or laboratory tests necessary to establish diagnosis. ae For uniformity of examination, the tests and X-ray must be taken at the student hospital; subsequent examination, if indicated, may be done by your family physician or a chest specialist. Please do not be alarmed at this requirement. I have taken the test and assure you it is merely a nuisance, but I believe a worth-while one in the protection afforded — for us all. Your promt cooperation will save time and bother for us all. Just go to the hospital at the first opportunity during the hours indicated; the hospital will do its best to make your visit brief.

I feel very strongly that it is the duty of every member of the instructional staff to be present and in the pro- cession. The University makes comparatively few demands of this sort upon us -~ an Opening Convocation, the Baccalaureate exercises, and Commencement. The Opening Exercises cannot be very impressive un- less we all participate. It is the first time the new students meet with us. I feel some embarrassment in urging your attendance to listen to me speak! But I at least promise to be brief!! All members of the Faculty are requested to assemble “in the first-floor corridor of Frank Strong Hall at 9:50 and march together to the Auditorium. Academic dress will not be worn. In cise of rain, please go directly to the Auditorium and find seats on the stuge. The convocation will start at 10 o'clock and classes will follow this schedule.

MALOTT, Chancellor UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Lawrence Office of The Chancellor June 20, 1940 TO DEANS AND HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS; Some months ago at the request of this office a committee of deans in the University made a study of the matter of retirement from administrative duties. The various deans have met with me for the pur- pose of further discussion of this problem. Upon their recommendation, and in light of the general approval of a retirement plan as shown in the minutes of the Senate for May 20, 1935, the following policy will go into effect as of July 1, 19413 Academic administrative officers--deans and department heads--shall retire at sixty-five from their administrative duties but carry on full teaching loads thereafter;--except that on the initiative of the Chancellor in exceptional cir- cumstances the individual may be continued in administrative work for a year at a time up to age seventy. DEANE W. MALOTT, Chancellor University of Kansas Lawrence Office of The Chancellor June 19, 1940 TO DEANS AND HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS: In order to keep within the out-of-state travel allowance set by the Board of Regents it is necessary for us to make up a budget for the fiscal year starting July 1, 190. Will you kindly send to my office not later than Monday, June 24, a list of out-of-state trips which you believe members of your staff should make next year at state expense, This should include the name of the individual, the purpose of the trip, the approximate dates and probable place, and the esti- mated total cost distributed between railroad fare, Pullman, hotel room, and meals. Please make your report on the attached form. Trips made under grants from the Graduate Research fund should not be included. These items will be covered in the request from the Graduate School. There is a law at present in force requiring that we file with the State Auditor the advance written approval of the Board of Regents for all out-of-state travel. Requests made after the 1940-41 travel budget is approved should be anticinated far enough in advance for their inclusion in the regular Board of Regents minutes, which are written on the 15th of each month.

C. Allen Professor of Physical Education University of Kansas Dear Dr. Allen, Finding that you were out of town Saturday May 18 I talked to Mr. DeGroot relative to the advisability of holding the horse show on the intramural playing field. There is a very real danger of infecting the field with tetanus spores, and I would strongly recommend that horses not be allowed on the field. As you have long recognized in the care of the Stadium field, use of artificial fertilizer and motor equipment is important in avoiding animal contamination of the field. Sincerely, Kaeph.
