THE COLLEGES HELPED
Sixty Professors VIII Immediatel,
Apply for Pensions from
the Fund.

The donation by Andrew Carnegie Of
I5,0OJOO0 additional 10 the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement OF
Teaching will open the retiring pension
fund TO the members of faculties OF
thIrty-nlne state universities. This
Will increase the list of institutions In
which retiring professors Will receive
pensions from the Foundation from
hfty-hve TO nlnety-four.
The thlrty-nine state universities
VIII all have to pass the educational re-
quirement set by the board OF trustees
of the Foundation before they can be
placed on the list, but it is probable
that with the exception of three or
four universities In the south all Of
them will be admitted at once. The
few exceptions also will be admitted
AZ soon as they have made their en-
trance requirements little more strict.
The list Of institutions whose facul-
ties are at present receiving the bene-
fits Of the Foundation includes all the
principal privately endowed colleges
and universities IN the country The
state universities that will be admit
ted under the new endowment are
4 scattered all over the United states,
but principally In the west and south.
The list in the order Of the date Of
foundation OF tho universities is as
follows:
University Of Georgia. University Of
North Carolina, University of Tonnes
see, University of South Carolina, Ohio
university at Athens, University Of In
diana, Miami university OF Ohio, Uni
versity Of Virginia. University Of Ala
bama, University of Michigan, Univer-
slty OF Missouri, state University OF

ty OF Nevada, University of Wyoming,
University Of Idaho, University of

II is believed that not less than sixty
professors IN these institutions who
come up to the requirements of age
and length of service, and whose sal
aries run from $4,000 to $4,000 year
will make application at once for PEN
sons from the Foundation.
Universities of the type of the Uni
versity of Vermont. University of
Pennsylvania, and New York universe
ty, not being supported by the state,
are already on the list of the Founda-
ton. It Is noticeable that few of the
Eastern states have what can properly
be called state universities Massachu-
sets has only the Massachusetts, State
Agricultural College at Amherst, and
the same Is true of New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and other
states
There arc twenty-six OF these agricul-
tura and technical schools in the diff
rercnt states supported by the State
legislatures Many Of them are In
States that also have state universi-
tics, as North Dakota, Montana, and
Colorado.
These institutions are not included in
the new endowment, although a spo-
clal ruling may be made by the board
Of trustees of the Foundation in ono or
two instances The most notable in
STANCE is Purdue university supported
: by the state Of Indiana, which is one
of the foremost technical schools in tho
country.
