 institute. 



X. As soon as this agreement goes into 

 eifect, the faculty of the institute shall be 

 enlarged by the addition thereto of the pro- 

 fessors, associate professors and assistant pro- 

 fessors of mechanical, electrical, civil and 

 sanitary engineering, mining and metallurgy, 

 in the university's schools of applied science. 

 These persons shall acquire the titles and 

 privileges of the same rank in the institute 

 while retaining their titles and privileges in 

 Harvard University, and the terms and con- 

 ditions of their employment and their salaries 

 shall be unaffected by the change. The pro- 

 fessors, associate professors and assistant pro- 

 fessors of the institute in the departments of 

 mechanical, electrical, civil and sanitary engi- 

 neering, mining and metallurgy, shall acquire 



the titles and privileges of the same rank in 

 Harvard University while retaining their 

 titles and privileges in the institute, and the 

 terms and conditions of their employment and 

 their salaries shall be unaffected by the change. 

 All professors, associate professors and assist- 

 ant professors appointed under the operation 

 of Section VII. shall have the titles and privi- 

 leges of professors of the university and of the 

 institute, including the right to benefit from 

 the pension system of both institutions. 



Additions to the faculty of the institute

 sors, associate professors or assistant profes- 

 sors, under the operation of Section VII., or 

 by the corporation of the institute for other 

 purposes. The faculty constituted as indi- 

 cated above shall, subject to such directions as 

 may be given by the corporation of the insti- 

 tute, prescribe the courses and conditions of 

 entrance thereto leading to all degrees granted 

 by the institute. The same faculty shall, sub- 

 ject to such directions as may be given by the 

 corporation of the university, prescribe the 

 courses and conditions of entrance thereto 

 leading to all degrees granted by the university 

 under the operation of this agreement.

XII. It is expressly provided that, as re-

 and of the institute respectively referred to 

 in Sections III. and IV., this agreement shall 

 be subject to any special terms and require-

 may be held; and any property or funds that 

 may be held at any time by either corporation 

 under such terms and restrictions as would pre- 

 vent their use precisely as is indicated in this 

 agreement, shall, nevertheless, be used by the 

 two corporations respectively for the support, 

 benefit or encouragement of a cooperative 

 effort in the field of education and research in 

 engineering and mining in such manner as 

 may be permissible or in accordance with the 

 trusts upon which they may be held.
