Done in Carbondale, Illinois, this 8th day of July, 1954. Chairman. Secre tary MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT MORRIS The following matters were presented by the Administration for considera­ tion by the Board: (A) Honorary Degrees for Auigust, 1954, Commencement In accordance with notices! previously sent to the1 members of the Board, we recommend that at the August 13, 1954, commencement ceremonies the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws be awarded to Lieutenant General Robert W. Harper, Commanding General, U. S. Air Training Command, Scott Air Force Base. Robert Wells Harper was born November 7, 1900, at Seattle, Washington. He was graduated from the United States Military Academy, 1924; Air Corps Advanced Flying School, 1926; Air Corps Tactical School and Chemical Warfare School, Field Officers Course, 1937; and Command and General Staff School, 1938. Commissioned Second Lieutenant in 1924, he advanced through the grades to Lieutenant General, United States Air Force. He served as Commanding General of the Air University and Air Transport Com­ mand, and at the time of his retirement on July 1, 1954, was Commanding General, United States Air Training Command, Scott Air Force Base. Gen­ eral Harper has followed with close interest the AF ROTO Detachment at Southern since its establishment in 1951. The honor group in the Arnold SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY 9 Air Soicety was named the “Harper Squadron” in his honor. Recently the 80 men in this squadron were the General’s guests for an airlift to Scott Air Force Base for a tour of the Base and a dinner. We also recommend that the honorary degree of Doctor of Science be awarded to Dr. M. M„ Leighton, Chief of the Illinois Geological Survey. It was originally proposed to award the Doctor of Laws degree to Dr. Leighton, but the Faculty Committee on Honorary Degrees feels that since Dr. Leigh­ ton is a distinguished scientist, the Doctor of Science degree would be more appropriate. Morris Morgan Leighton was born near Wellman, Iowa, on August 4, 1887. He received the Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Iowa, 1912.; the Master of Science degree, 1913; and the Doctor’s degree from the Uni­ versity of Chicago, 1916. Dr. Leighton has taught geology in sis universi­ ties; he has served as geologist with the Washington Geological Survey and the Illinois Geological Survey; he is the author of many books and articles of importance, and has been honored by numerous scientific societies. He has come to be regarded as one of the genuinely outstanding scientists in the nation. Since 1923, Dr. Leighton has served as Chief of the Illinois Geological Survey, and his effective administration has made it a model o f its kind. Dr. Leighton retired on July 1, 1954, to continue his scientific research. These recommendations have been initiated by the Faculty Committee on Honorary Degrees and have the endorsement of the Administration. On motion of Kenneth L. Davis, the Board unanimously approved the awarding of honorary degrees as recommended. (B) Report on Regulation Concerning Outside Employment At the November 5, 1953, meeting of the Board of Trustees the policy concerning the reporting of outside employment by staff members of the University, as set forth in Part IV, Article V, Section 7 of the By-Laws and Statutes of the Board of Trustees, was discussed.

    Digital Archive digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org International History Declassified June 01, 1954 Telegram, Zhou Enlai to Mao Zedong and Others, Regarding the Situation at the Ninth Restricted Session Citation: “Telegram, Zhou Enlai to Mao Zedong and Others, Regarding the Situation at the Ninth Restricted Session,” June 01, 1954, History and Public Policy Program Digital Archive, PRC FMA 206-Y0050. Translated by Gao Bei. http://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/111479 Summary: Zhou reports on his conversation with Molotov and on the ninth restricted session on Indochina. Molotov describes his earlier meeting with Eden. Later, at the ninth session, Zhou insists to his opponents that the NNSC on Korea should serve as a model for NNSC on Indochina. Original Language: Chinese Contents: English Translation (Top Secret) Chairman Mao, Comrade [Liu] Shaoqi, and the Central Committee: (1) Comrade Molotov flew back to Moscow on the morning of the 30th [of May 1954]. He has already arrived today. On the afternoon of the 30th, the Chinese and the Soviet sides discussed their estimation of general situation of the conference. Molotov had met with Eden before he left. Regarding the Korean issue, Eden is inclined towards holding small meetings, to present proposals on general principles. Molotov did not accept that, nor did he refuse immediately at the time. He said that there should be a conclusion of the Korean issue so that it could consolidate the situation of the armistice in Korea to benefit peace. Eden agreed with that. We believe that we can hold restricted sessions. [We should] put aside [Republic of Korea Foreign Minister] Pyun Yung Tai's proposals and solely discuss basic principles for the peaceful resolution of the Korean issue and seek common ground for both sides so that we can reach some agreements.
