The details of the university OF
cbtcapo's pension system have now
been worked. out, and it is announced
that the funds available will provide
at once for zoe teachers, the pensions
paid varying from $1,000 to $1,000.
AT present the university is paying
pensions to six retired members OF the
faculty. Under the new rule any
professor or assistant professor OF Ia
years standing may retire at 20 or
may be retired by the trustees on a
pension based OF length of service,
but not to be less than 40 per cent
nor more than 50 per cent. of the aver
age salary. The widow of such
pcnsioner will be entitled to half this
allowance. At present heads OF de-
partments are paid from $500 to
$4,000, professors from $4,000 to $500,
associate professors from $500 to
$4,000. and assistant professors $4,000
and $500 after four years service. 1t
is estimated that the annual cost will
be 100000 and s2,Oo0,0O0 will be set
aside for the purpose from Mr..

which has been blot on the adminis-
