One reason for this sat isfactory condition lies in the adop tion by the board of regents some years ago of the policy Of giving sab | batical leave on three-fifths pay tol those of professional rank who have served in that capacity at the Uni yersity for six years or more The gain to the university from this sys- tenn as well as the gain to the professor is obvious, for the sat- tatical is almost invariably used for study and research rather than mere ' recreation and travel. In various ways the members of the faculty are rendering distinct service to the public outside the boundaries of the campus thus keeping the uni versity in closer touch with the in- terests of the territory as a whole Director R. H. Forbes of the expeI1 ment station served by appointment of the Governor of the Arizona Horticultural commission. Professor c. F. Holman, head Of the depart ment of geology, is preparing for the United States Geological survey, the Tucson sheet, which includes the important prospecting region of Pima county.
