The statement was referred to the Finance Committee. SALARIES OF PROFESSORS. T h e Committee on Instruction presented the following report which was adopted: URBANA, ILLINOIS, Jan. 13, 1905. To the Board of Trustees, University of Illinois: The Committee on Instruction, to which was referred the matter of adjusting the salaries of the faculty, begs leave to report that it found the salary list extending over a series of years full of incongruities and inconsistencies. Among twenty-two (22) members of the faculty,. whose salaries during the last ten (10) years have been considered with the thought of a proper adjustment, we find the increase in individual cases to have ranged from nothing to $1,680. Within ten (10) years six (6) salaries have been raised $200 each; one (1) $480; five (5) $500 each; one (1) $750; one (1) $900; two (2) $1,000 each; one (1) $1,100; two (2) $1,300 each; one (1) $1,500; one (1) $1,680, and one (1) nothing. All these changes have been with those who have been in the faculty ten or more years. We, therefore, recommend that the whole subject of salaries be referred to*the President with a request that he investigate the entire matter and report to the Board as soon as practicable, in the interests of the University.
