FACULTY WRITES
TO SENATOR KYLE
Enters Protest Against Reduc.
ton OF Salaries OF Teach
ers In Our College.

The following letter has been adj
dressed to Senator A. S. Kyle, Chair
man of the Finance Committee of the
Senate, with reference to his pro-
posed plan of reduction of salaries OF
men teachers at M. S. G. w. and else
where. The letter is signed by a
committee of the Faculty Club, of
which Miss Martha Eckford is Chair
man. 1t represents recent action tax
en- by the Faculty Club, in protest OF
the proposed cut in salaries.
Senator A. S. Kyle,
Jackson, Mississippi.
Dear Senator Kyle:--
We note with interest in recent
statement to the press that you are
in favor of equalization of pay for
men and women in the states educa-
tional institutions, and that you pro-
pose to equalize salaries by cutting
the pay Of the men. There are only
four men professors at M. S. C. W.,
and the women advocates of equal
ization of pay have never contemplate
ed such a scheme as your plan sug-
gests. We have been working for
years for equalization, but we meant
by that equalization with salaries paid
at other institutions.
AS you perhaps know, salaries at |
M. S. c. w. have never Appropriated |
those at the University and A. & NJ,
and much as we deplore any cut in |
the support Of those institutions, we
do not feel that conditions at M. S.
c. w. warrant any cut whatsoever.
The men here have never drawn the
pay given men at the other institu-
tiOns. In 1920 men professors at
University, A. & NJ, and Normal Col
lege had their pay raised so that they
received 5000 per year more than
our men, and $1100 per year more
than the women professors of M. S.
c. w. These figures represent the
present wide discrepancy in salaries
