ARTIC1.E XV. Instructing Staff, Appointment, and Tenure of Office. 1. The President, all full professors, acting professors, and assistant professors of the higher grade shall be elected by the full Board of Trustees by ballot. When the Board shall receive from the President the nomination of a professor or assistant professor of the higher grade the Board shall proceed to confirm or reject such nomination, but such confirmation or rejection shall be by ballot, said ballot to be not by single open vote cast by any one person but by the ballots of all trustees voting, provided, however, that an appointment or re-ap- pointment for a period not exceeding one year may be made without ballot. 2. There shall be two grades of assistant professors. Advance- ment from the first to the second grade shall not be made as matter of course, but only in the cases of those whose services are deemed to be of special value and whose ability, character, and scholarship justify the Board of Trustees in regarding them as qualified to become full professors here or elsewhere. 3. Subject to other provisions herein for the retirement and re- moval of members of the instructing staff, all appointments thereto shall be for the following periods respectively: In the Medical College 17 in New York City and in the State Colleges for one year ; in all other colleges, in the case of full professors, for an indeterminate period unless otherwise specified at the time of appointment ; in the case of assistant professors for the term of five years ; and in the case of instructors and assistants, for one year, unless otherwise specified at the time of appointment and in any event for not more than two years ; in the cases of lecturers for one year or for such period not longer than a year as is specified at the time. Members of said staff appointed for a definite period shall not hold over, but at the expira- tion of said period their connection with the University shall cease unless they be reappointed. 4. The term of appointment of every professor shall terminate, un- less sooner ended, at the June commencement next following his sixty-fifth birthday, unless such birthday occurs between commence- ment and the opening of the fall term, in which case such term of appointment shall cease with such birthday, but if such birthday occurs during the first term of the University year, the professor shall have the right to retire at the end of such term, subject to the right of the University to continue the services of any professor in the per. formance of all or part of his former professorial duties for one or more years thereafter under such title and at such compensation as may be agreed upon. 5. If it becomes necessary to terminate the appointment of any pro- fessor before he arrives at the age of sixty-five, by reason of physical or mental infirmity (or other cause than misconduct) which renders him unable to perform satisfactorily some or all of his duties, the date of retirement shall be not earlier than the June commencement following the action of the Trustees in regard thereto. And in the event of retirement as last above specified before the age of sixty- five of some worthy professor who has faithfully served the University for many years, such professor thus retired may be retained to perform such duties as the President may direct and under such title and at such compensation and for such length of time as may be fixed by the Board of Trustees. 6. It shall be the duty of members of the instructing staff to give to their University work all of their time which may be necessary to a full and satisfactory discharge of their duties and they shall be subject to removal at any time for inadequate or unsatisfactory performance of their duties and for misconduct. ART1C1.E XVI. I^EAVE OF Absence.

Application for such absence must be made through the Presi- dent prior to the term preceding the term during which absence is desired. 2. Not more than one absence from any department of instruction will be granted in any one year, and where more than one application from any department is made, precedence will be given in the order of seniority of service. 3. Arrangements for continuing the work of instruction in case of such application must be made without expense to the University beyond the full salary of the absentee. 4. Such a professor while remaining in Ithaca under a leave of absence as above provided shall not exercise the rights and duties of a professor in residence. Article XVII. The William H.

Sage Pension Fund as set forth in the preceding table shall be paid in two equal installments, to-wit: on the 15th of May and the 15th of December. E. In case of the resignation, removal, or death before reaching the age of sixty-five years of any beneficiary who contributes to the 20 Fund, his accumulated contributions, with interest thereon at the rate of three per cent per annum compounded semi-annually, shall be re- paid to him or to his estate, or if after being placed on the pension roll at sixty-five any beneficiary dies before he has received in pen- sion payments as much as the amount of his accumulated contribu- tions and interest thereon at the rate of three per cent per annum compounded semi-annually, the difference shall be paid to his estate. F. No annual contributions to the Pension Fund will be required from any beneficiary after he shall arrive at the age of sixty-five years. If after arriving at the age of sixty-five years any beneficiary, other than a professor, still remains in oflace, then the payment of his pension shall date from the time of his retirement from office. If, however, his retirement from office is because of his death, then the amount of his accumulated contributions with interest thereon at the rate of three per cent per annum, compounded semi- annually to the time of his death shall be paid to his estate. If in any contingency the aggregate amount of pensions paid to any bene- ficiary to the date of his death do not amount to as much as his accumulated contributions with interest thereon at the rate of three per cent per annum compounded semi-annually, then the difference shall be paid to his estate. G. The Pension Fund shall be subject entirely to the control of the Board of Trustees and shall be free from any claims except for pen- sions actually matured. And the Board reserves to itself the right, if, after an actuarial examination of the state of the Fund and of all matters connected therewith, it shall deem advisable, to amend the rules as to the terms of contribution, the rate of pension, or any other feature or circumstance ; and also in any particular case after a pro- fessor or other beneficiary has been admitted to the prospective bene- fits of the Pension Fund, to discontinue and terminate his position as a prospective pensioner, upon condition, however, that the Univer- sity return to him all of his contributions, with interest thereon at three per cent per annum compounded semi-annually to the date of such discontinuance. 4.
