THE CARNEOIE FOUNDATION FOB THE 



ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING 

 At the meeting of the trustees of the foun- 

 dation, held on November lY, the rules for the 

 granting of retiring allowances were amended 

 so as to recognize service as an instructor in 



the retirement on the basis of age or disabil 

 ity, and the right to retirement for professors 

 under sixty-five years of age with a minimum 

 of service of twenty-five years was restricted 

 to cases of disability. The retiring allowances 

 of widows of professors who have served 

 twenty-five years are retained. 



The amended rules read as follows: 



BULE I 



Any person sisty-iive years of age who has had 

 not less than fifteen years of service as a pro- 

 fessor, or not less than twenty-five years of service 

 as instructor^ or as instructor and professor, and 

 who is at the time a professor or an instructor 

 in an accepted institution, shall be entitled to an 

 annual retiring allowance computed as follows: 



(a) For an active pay of twelve hundred dol- 

 lars or less, an allowance of one thousand dollars, 

 provided no retiring allowance shall exceed ninety 

 per cent, of the active pay. 



(6) For an active pay greater than twelve hun- 

 dred dollars the retiring allowance shall equal 

 one thousand dollars, increased by fifty dollars 

 for each one hundred dollars of active pay in 

 excess of twelve hundred dollars. 



(c) No retiring allowance shall exceed four 

 thousand dollars. 



Computed by the formula: R = A/2 -1-400, 

 where B = annual retiring allowance and A = 

 active pay. 



BULE u 



Any person who has had twenty-five years of 

 service as a professor or thirty years of service 

 as professor and instructor, and who is at the 

 time either a professor or an instructor in an 

 accepted institution, shall, in the case of dis- 

 ability unfitting him for the work of a teacher as 

 shown by medical examination, be entitled to a 

 retiring allowance computed as follows: 



^ An instructor is held to be a college or uni- 

 versity teacher to whom is assigned independent 

 teaching or the conduct of laboratory work or of 

 classes under the direction or supervision of a 

 professor or head of a department. The term is 

 not intended to include demonstrators, mechan- 

 icians, laboratory helpers or other assistants who 

 are not charged with the responsibility for the 

 conduct of college classes, nor is it held to include 

 those who give any considerable part of their 

 time to gainful occupations other than college 

 teaching. The foundation reserves the right to 

 decide in all doubtful cases what constitutes 

 service as an instructor.
