Persons on definite appointment for two years or more may be granted the same privileges as those on annual appointment. 3. They may also be granted for the same purpose leave of absence, without pay, from September 1, 1917, until the close of their terms of appointment with the same consideration for reappointment. 4. Persons on indefinite tenure may enjoy the same privileges as those on annual appointment, and may be given leave of absence without pay from September 1, 1917, until the close of the war or until they are honorably discharged from the approved service in the national defense in which they have been engaged. Their positions will be held open for them and they may resume such positions on satisfying the President of the University of their physical and other ability to discharge the duties of the positions as satisfactorily as they did before taking leave of absence.
