But in such cases the approval of the President to the giving of the lectures or the doing of other work shall be required. Nor shall the prohibition be interpreted to forbid the acceptance by a professor, while on leave, of a scholarship or fellowship carrying a pecuniary stipend for the purpose of study, research, or scientific investigation, or the acceptance of a grant of money made for such purposes, provided the acceptance of the grant does not impose on the professor accepting it duties and obligations the performance of which would be incompatible with the pursuit of the general purpose for which leaves of absence are granted.

30. WHEREAS, It is believed by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, that the stability and permanency of its faculty and educational, administrative, and mechanical staff is an essential factor in the success of the University; and that such stability and permanency cannot be acquired and maintained to its full extent unless reasonable provision is made for death benefits and retiring allowances for certain members of said faculty and staff, thus to induce them to remain with the University for long periods of time, and thereby develop their best work and zeal for its welfare:
