The Board received for record the following resolutions adopted by the Faculty of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts:

WHEREAS, Walter Bowers Pillsbury, Professor of Psychology and Chairman of the Department of Psychology, reaches the age of seventy on July 21, 1942 and will become eligible for retirement on September 26, 1942, and

WHEREAS, Professor Pillsbury, a graduate of the University of Nebraska in 1892 and recipient of the Ph.D. degree from Cornell University in 1896, has served for forty-five years as a member of the faculty of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts and as Chairman of the Department of Psychology since its establishment as a separate department in 1929; therefore be it

Resolved, That the faculty of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts express to Professor Pillsbury its appreciation of his long and distinguished career, which has reflected great credit on the University of Michigan, and be it further

Resolved, That Professor Pillsbury be recommended to the Regents for appointment as Professor Emeritus of Psychology and for the appropriate retirement allowance.

The Board adopted the following resolutions:

With the exception of two years, during which he was assistant to Professor Titchener at Cornell, the entire professional career of Dr. Walter Bowers Pillsbury has been at the University of Michigan, whose faculty he joined in 1897. During these forty-five years, instruction in psychology, at the time of his first appointment a recent and minor adjunct of the Department of Philosophy, has developed into one of the major departments of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, enjoying a prestige to which Professor Pillsbury's noteworthy research, teaching, and writing are acknowledged to have made the largest single contribution. Recognition of his eminence as a scholar has come to Professor Pillsbury in many forms, from sources both in this and in other countries, throughout this time, and to this has been added the genuine affection of students and colleagues inspired by his wholesome character and unassuming friendliness. The approach of his seventieth birthday, on July 21, 1942, makes it possible for Professor Pillsbury to retire from active service under the regulations of this institution. Accordingly, the Regents of the University of Michigan have incorporated this memoir as a part of their official Proceedings, and furthermore have adopted the following resolutions:

Resolved, By the Regents of the University of Michigan, that, since Dr. Walter Bowers Pillsbury, Professor of Psychology and Chairman of the Department of Psychology, becomes seventy years of age on July 21, 1942, he be permitted to retire from active service, in accordance with the Bylaws of this Board, on September 26, 1942, and be recommended for the usual retiring allowance as of that date; and be it further

Resolved, That the title Professor Emeritus of Psychology be conferred on Dr. Pillsbury in recognition of his long and eminent services, and that he be invited to continue to make use of the University's facilities in connection with his personal studies and researches.
