Professor Joseph R. Hayden was designated as the James Orin
Murfin Professor of Political Science, beginning with the University
year 1941-1942, with salary of $6,200 per year, $6,000 of which is
expected to be derived from the James Orin Murfin endowment fund
and $200 from the regular budget of the Department of Political
Science (p. 351).
In place of the "Institute of Archaeological Research," (R.P. 1929 -1932, p. 602), the Regents set up a research committee for the
Museum of Art and Archaeology. The duties of this committee are
specifically limited to the formulation and administration of plans
for the study and publication of the University's archaeological materials from the Mediterranean lands and the Near East, including the
papyrological and palaeographical collections, to the acquisition of
similar materials, and to the promotion of archaeological excavations
in those regions. It is expected that the Librarian will refer to this
committee all requests for the use and study of the collections mentioned, with a view of publication, and the committee shall be empowered to rule on such requests. To this committee the Board
appointed, on recommendation of the President, the Dean of the
College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, the Dean of the Graduate
School, the University Librarian, Dr. F. E. Robbins, Professors Campbell Bonner and A. E. R. Boak, Associate Professor Clark Hopkins, and
Professor Emeritus Henry A. Sanders. According to Sec. 30.01 of the
Bylaws the Director of the Museum of Art and Archaeology at
present Professor John G. Winter, is a member of this committee
ex officio.
