HARVARD PAYS MORE.
Faculty's Salaries at Cambridge Are IT,
Per Cent. Higher Than at Yale.

Some surprise has been felt at the re-
port that the salaries of Yale professors
even with an increase of from $1,000 to
$1,000 a year for thirty five members of
the faculty, are still about % per cent
lower than at Harvard. The comparison
is said by the Boston Transcript 10 be
ineXact, but apparently it is not far
from true.
Harvard professors under the new sal
AIRY scale which went into effect in 1908
receive a minimum salary of $1,000 Oh
appointment, and the maximum. which
many are receiving, is $500. This ap-
plies to the full professors only, of whom
there arr approximately seventy-five in
the departments under the faculty of
arts and sciences.
For associate professors. of whom
there are only one or two. the minimum
is $4,000 and the maximum $500. For
assistant professors the minimum is
$500 and the maximum is $4,000.
This scale of salaries was made pos
sible by the teachers endowment fund of
more than $2.00O,OO0. which was raised
in 1904 and 1905 under the leadership
of Bishop Lawrence. The express pur-
pose of the fund was TO increase the
salaries Of teachers in Harvard college
This was done both by making numer-
Gus promotions which had been long dc
lay2d by lack Of funds and by putting
INTO elect the new salary schedule.
which increases the salary for every
grade by 5000 \ number of teachers
thus benefited both 10y advancement III
grade and by the higher salary Of the
grade attained,
No recent figures have been made put
lie showing the proportion of the mem
bers Of the faculty receiving different
salaries within the prescribed schedule
The last figures published were con
tanned in tables in the Graduates Maga-
zine in September of 1904 before tlo
new schedule went into effect, and when
there were only tifty-three fun prpfns-
sors in the faculty of arts and sciences
instead of about seventy-ive as at pres
ent.
The principal figures, emitting two OF

receiving each figure, was $4,000.

A Just Before Christmas PARTY

The choosing of guests for a Christ
mas eve party Is difficult and delicate
matter; for Christmas, more than any
other time, is essentially family holi-
day. 1t is the time when all absent
members flock homeward, and when
present members are drawn more closer
together 1t certainly behooves the
wOuld-be hostess to go gently, lest her
invitations rush in where angels fear
TO tread. and prove the unhappy means
OF dividing households that prefer to re
main undivided. Perhaps the only per
sons that it is really altogether safe to
invite are the detached bachelors, the
lonely, far-fr0m-home schooma ans. the
childlesS. the widowed and the orphaned.
But when the scattered members Of a
large family flock homeward with their
accumulated babies. husbands. boys.
girls or wives, that is a different matter.
The house-mother finds herself confront
ed with the problem Of giving her flock
good time Christmas Eve.
No Christmas party should be formal
how can 1t be, when the guests ages
range anywhere from two to ninety-two
And. Of course, with big dinner im-
pending the next day. the refreshments
for o just-before- Christmas party should
be exceedingly simple. If they can be
prepared by the party itself while the
merriment is in full swing. so much
the better. Susan can make chocolate
fudge. George can pop corn-with the
pretty cousin helping-or Grace can
toast chestnurs over the CHEEKY CRATE fire.
If games are played they should be
Circle games, suited to any age or any
intelligence. In one household much
sport resulted from a simple little game
hastily invented for a Christmas Eve
emergency. 1t was played precisely like
the old-fashioned game of stage coach, P"
but each guest was named for one or an
other of the nouns in the well known
poem:
Twas the night before Christmas, and ali
through the house
Not a creature was strrlng--nOt even a
mouse
The hostess read the verses very
slowly and impressvely, and the person
named for each noun stood up when his
noun was mentioned turned around and
gravely saluted all the other guests If
he smiled or giggled he had to pay a for
felt Much of the fun was due to the
fact that the names were such remark
