Sixteen Tears at the University of Illinois

The following tables show the number of persons receiving salaries of various amounts in 1903-04, and the number of those receiving similar salaries in 1919-20. It will be noted that whereas in the earlier year only the president of the University received a salary of more than $3,800, and only five persons other than he received as much as $3,000; in 1919-20 one hundred and five persons were receiving $3,000 or more a year, of whom nine received $4,000, three $4,500, sixteen $5,000, five $5,500 and five $6,000 or more. It may be further noted that in 1917-18 approximately 29 per cent of the faculty were receiving salaries of $2,500 or more, as against 10.3 per cent in 1903-04; 68 per cent were receiving $1,500 or over, as against 40 per cent in 1903-04; 98 per cent were receiving $1,000 or more; and 1.6 per cent were receiving less than $1,000 as against 30 per cent in 1903-4.
