THEIR RETIREMENT
CALLED AUTOMATIC
Professors Rising, Ho.ison and
Loughridge Dropped From
State University Roll
Former Members of Faculty I'm
certain if They Will Get
Pensions and Emeritus

BERKELEY, May 11.-Three pro-
fessors disappeared from the faculty
roll of the University of California to-
day, but how 1T happened neither they
nor their friends are able to tell. At
the Office of the secretary the situa-
tion was covered in the brief phrase,
automatic retirement" That is the
nearest to an announcement that the
unusual occurrence has developed. The
three thus unceremoniously showed off
the faculty bench are: Prof W. B.
Rising of the chemistry department
Prof. George III. Howison of the de-
partment of philosophy and Prof. r. H.
Loughridge. expert in soil analysis
That their retirement was slated was
stated in these columns yesterday. The
event was brought off as scheduled,
but with strange accompanying si-
lence.
The three professors decline to enter
into any discussion of the subject. In
fact, they are in a large degree un-
certain of their fate.
NEW ORDER WORKS LIKE CLOCK
The process of automatic retirement,
which appears to have been invoked
with abundant success by President
Wheeler, operates with something of
the precision of time clock. When
the professor reaches the age of 65
the combination breaks, the bars drop
and out slides the victim. 1t is re-
garded as a far more satisfactory sys-
tenn than the ancient method of calling
the professor into council, telling him
how valuable he has been to the col
lege and how sorry we are to lose
you. but / have decided to allow you
an indefinite leave on half pay"
Under the new order of things, the
professor is placed on the long incline
and tobaggoned into space. IL he takes
the chute gracefully, he gets an "emer-
itus' and a Carnegie pension.
NO SONG, SERVICE NOR FLOWERS
Professor Hilgard retired some time
ago and due and formal announcement
was made. Similar announcement was
made recently when Prof. Isaac Flagg
was placed on the pension roll. In the
wholesale retirement of yesterday there
was neither song, service, nor flowers.
Professor Howison passed the age
limit some time ago, but declined to re-
tire. He is regarded as an authority
on philosophical subjects. His early
students are the professors OF today in
many of the big eastern colleges
Professor Rising has long been the
head of the department OF chemistry.
In close association with him has been
Professor O'Neil, who has gradually
taken over much of his work.
Professor Loughridge has been one OF
the active workers in the agricultural
department. Through his expert re-
searches in soils, he has contributed
largely to the upbuilding of the agri-
cultural resources OF the state.

According to the story of the
PainesvilIe machinist he and his beau
tiful wife were not aboard the ship.
They went ashore at Cusavana, small
port on the Rio de la Plata. 1t was
planned that they should meet the ship
at Valparaiso, but the craft sank en-
route.

met in the cathedral Sunday Quiroz
tainted the man he had challenged,
accusing him of cowardice.
Farias at once drew his knife and be-
gan slashing. In an instant Quiroz's
knife was also at work and before
the combatants were separated. both
were bleeding from number of
wounds. The fight created a panic
among the worshipers.
