In addition to the above there is also the 

 residence indemnity— called in Bavaria 

 "salary supplement" of $127 (540 M.) 

 for full professors and $99 (420 M.) for 

 associate professors. Besides this, there 

 is a further residence indemnity— called 

 "local supplement" in Bavaria — which 

 was added a few years ago because of the 

 increased cost of living. This amounts to 

 $64 (270 M.) at the Universities of Mu- 

 nich and of Wlirzburg— in cities of the 

 "first class"— and to $54 (225 M.) at the 

 University of Erlangen— in a city of the 

 "second class." In case the fees of a pro- 

 fessor amount to more than $286 

 (1,200 M.) in one year his residence in- 

 demnities for that year are cancelled. If 

 the fees do not amount to $286, so much of 

 the residence indemnities is paid to the 

 professor as is necessary to bring the total 

 up to $286. 



Grand Duchy of Hesse.— A full profes- 

 sor at the University of Giessen begins 

 his service with an annual government 

 salary of $1,069. This is increased every 

 four years by $95 until in twenty years 

 the maximum of $1,544 is attained. 



The associate professor is appointed at 

 an annual salary of $595 (2,500 M.) and 

 after each period of four years' service 

 $71 (300 M.) is added annually. The 

 maximum is $950 a year. Very recently 

 the grand-ducal government has author- 



ized a residence indemnity. This is cal- 

 culated on the basis of eight per centum 

 of the maximum salary, and is therefore 

 $123 (520 M.) a year for the full professor 

 and $75 (320 M.) for the associate pro- 

 fessor. There is in addition a special 

 fund, amounting at present to $2,350 a 

 year, at the disposal of the Grand Duke's 

 Minister of the Interior for the purpose of 

 adding supplements to individual salaries. 



Grand Duchy of Saxe-^¥ eimar. —TJutil 

 1902 government salaries at the University 

 of Jena were very meager, the professors 

 being released from all payments of taxes, 

 however, whether grand-ducal or com- 

 munal. In 1902 there was a salary re- 

 form, a schedule being introduced on the 

 Prussian model, optional as regarded the 

 holders of professorial chairs at that time. 

 About one fourth of the professors ad- 

 hered to the old arrangement. Those who 

 accepted the change and all professors ap- 

 pointed since are liable like other subjects 

 to taxes, all of the grand-ducal taxes so 

 collected and one third of the communal 

 taxes going, however, into the treasury of 

 the university. In return for this the full 

 professor begins his service at an annual 

 government salary of $950, which is raised 

 every four years, until in twenty years he 

 receives $1,425. The associate professor 

 receives a similar increase in the same 

 periods, his annual salary beginning at 

 $475 and reaching in twenty years $950. 

 A part of this increase in the university 

 salary schedules was made possible by the 

 income of the Karl Zeiss Foundation, 

 which is now annually $7,130. The grand- 

 ducal government of Saxe-Weimar, the 

 ducal governments of Saxe-Meiningen and 

 Saxe-Altenburg, and the Gotha duchy of 

 the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha 

 also contributed a similar amount. These 

 four governments jointly have royal rights 

 over the university.
