CO! FCE PROFESSORS ARE HARD HIT
Bf THE HIGH COST OP LIVING
Problem of Providing Adequate Salaries For Men of Un
questioned Merit Has Occasioned Comment From
President Hibben and Other University Heads.
Among' the victims of the problem
Of the IukIi cost of living; there Is a
class of worker whose difficulties
have been overlooked. It comprises
the professors, assistant professors
and Instructors in American colleges
and universities. Never lavishly rec
ompensed for the service they ren
der, these wage earners are finding
It Increasingly hard to maintain
themselves on earnings that have by
no means kept pace with the advance
In the price of the necessaries of
life.
f Some IncrtfMra.
Thera have, it la true, been increas
es in compensation to the faculty
members of certain institutions, but
in no case can It be said that such In
creases have been measurable with
the advance In the cost of living. Ten
years or so ago there were compara
tively few professors who could
. boast of a salary of IS, 000 a year.
Now there are many, but ft Is evi
dent that the $5,000 of the present
"' day will buy no more even perhaps
less ithati would the $3,600 or $4,000
of 1905. .
Salaried workers In every class will
' testify to this. Furthermore, the fu
ture presents a grave menace, for un
less the Incomes of the colleges grow
, much more rapidly than they have In
the past decade the present scale of
recompense will be the maximum ot
the next (en year. ,
The problem of the business men
. of all such institutions is more and
more to get money io pay the teach
ers. It Is easy enough to persuade a
rich alumnus to contribute a few
Hundred thousand dollars or so for a
monument In the shape of a dormi
tory, a laboratory, a commons, a hail
or even a stadium, but It Is exceed
ingly troublesome to find the where
withal to employ the men who, as It
always has been and always will be,
: are the heart and marrow of the
university structure, without which
In sufficiency It Is a dull, Inarticu
late thing of stone and steel.
Princeton university is among the
latest to take cognizance of this prob
lem. It Is officially set forth In the
annual report of President John
Orler Hibben for ID 16, and its seri
ousness is Indicated by the fact that
Dr. Hibben appeals to the alumni of
his institution for a large Increase In
the endowment for the very purpose.
He says;
Pressing Need.
"One of the very pressing needs
which should be mentioned, In my
opinion, first of all, and whtoh I hope
to see supplied In the very near fu
ture. Is the substantial Increase of
the salaries of our faculty. Men who
are upon fixed salaries suffer untold
hardship and privations as a result
of the kind of prosperity which has
come to our country, a prosperity
which, while It Increases manv in
comes, has raised the price of living
to eiien an annormai degree that the
problem of living for the members of
our faculty has become a desperate
one.
"The question Is often asked why
more of our undergraduates are not
looking forward to teaching as a pro
fession. One of the reasons obviously
Is that they are afraid to volunteer
for a service, however Important and
admirable It may be, which neverthe
less gives no assurance of a living In
come. In order that our present sal
aries may he Increased In some Just
ratio to the Increased cost of living
we should have an additional endow
ment of $1,000,000."
It may be Interesting to note that
Dr. Hlbben's solicitude, for the mo
ment at least Is devoted mainly to
those who hold what are called full
professorships. This Is so because of
the fact that at Princeton, as well as
at numerous kindred Institutions, the
minimum pay of the assistants on
permanent tenure has, by action of
the board of trustees, been raised
from $1,500 to $2,000 and the sala
ries of Instructors from $1,000 to
11.200. with a graduating annual In
crease of $100 for every Ave years of
service to the maximum ot i,uw. in
other words, standardization of wages
has been applied to those of the
teaching force of lesser degree, wh'Ie
those at the top are left without the
gates.
The relief afforded the teachers of
lower rank Is minimised, however,
by consideration of the fact that the
men In such positions are of full
stature and standing and many of
them are married and the fathers of
families which they must support in
respectability and comfort. In such
a light the means of support, even
with the recert advance, are very far
from handsome.
Hard to Raise Money.
Dr Hibben emphasizes the difficul
ty of raising money for professional
salaries in another portion of his re
port. His statements of course are
concerned only with Princeton, but
they might as well be uttered by the
heads of a majority of the universities
and colleges In the country, partlcu-
larly the universities.
'Through the 170 years of Prince
ton's history," he says, "the endow
ment for professorships and assist
ant professorship has accumulated
very slowly and yields at present only
$107,000 of annual income. This in
crease of endowment has been far
behind the growth and development
of the university, which now requires
a total yearly expenditure for salaries
of $428,000. Of this amount less
than half Is furnished by student tui
tion fees, and consequently an annual
deficit of over $100,000 has been
raised annually by special subscrip
tions from the alumni, trustees and
other friends of the university."
At the same meeting which consid
ered Dr. Hlbben's message a special
committee of the trustees presented
an Interesting report of Investigation
of the salaries of professors, their as
sistants and the Instructors In other
universities. Yale, it appears, has
made the longest strides in providing
for the needs of Its teachers, for the
report says that "the scale of sala
ries at Yale has been decidedly In
creased within a few years, and In
his last annual report President Had
ley states that the average salary of
full professors at Yale Is approxl
mately $4,600."
Harvard Pays Well,
Harvard has a number of profes
sors to whom she pays from $6,000
to Id. 000. and has only half a doaen
who receive less than 4,M)0. Am.
herst has followed closely In the foot
steps of the New Haven institution
and now pays a number of her pro
fessors $6,000, the report says. No
full professor at Amherst now re
ceives less than $8,600. The Unl
verslty of California pays $6,000 to a
number of its men and the University
of Illinois Is known to have offered
$5,000 and even $6,000 to men whom
it was anxious to obtian.
Princeton has lagged behind In the
matter of salaries. The report to
the trustees by the Investigating com
mlttee states that the average salary
of the full professor at Princeton in
creased from 1906 to 1915 only from
S2.966.I2 to t2.S42.60 and In the pe
riod from then until the present only
to $'3,900. This latter increase of
less than 8 per cent It Is pointed out
Is by no means commensurate with
an Increase of about 10 per cent In the
price of commodities In which are
specified the elusive veal outlet which
has risen 62 per cent in mnceton,
and the potato, which has lumped St
per cent. This report aarrees with
Dr. Hlbben's that something must
be done.
Encouragement from the professo
rial point of view Is found in the
growing competition for the services
of the big men in me teacmng pro
fession. Those of general reputation
find no difficulty In securing reason
ably comfortable berths and there Is
a fear that the supply may not equ-i
the demand and that the smaller and
less prosperous Institutions may suf
fer In the strife with the more plu.
tocoratle.
Trnlvnnrittea wlch have bred and
trained men and made them eminent
find rivals bidding for their product
commercializing Intellect by mone
tary Inducements. To keep the men
who make the reputation of the
nlace manv boards of trustees are
finding It necessary to give their nro-
fessors a raise in pay. This Increases
the cost of existence to the university
and forges another link m tns end
less chain of "the high cost of education,"

CZECH HATRED OF AUSTRIA

LUCERNTD, Switzerland. Mar. 10. -Before
the war it was believed that
the death of the Emperor Francis
Joseph would provoke a revolution
In Austria, and yet the emperor died
and no revolution followed. Howev
er, the difficulties of the political sit
uation caused by the, death of Francis
Joseph have increased to such an ex

that the security ot the omp'.ie 1j se

that the dual monarchy will not sur

Sought Proof of loyalty.
The premier Insisted that al! these
acts of hostility should ' be publicly
condemned by the Czech members of
parliament as an example to the peo
ple and as a proof of loyalty. As
president of the upper house Clam
Martini raused a motion to be
passed exhorting the Czechs and the
Slavonians to modify their sentiments
of hostility against the monarchy.

la no doubt that the Czechs are strug
gling for their Independence despite
Austrian repressions and persecu
tions and that they rely absolutely
on tne allies' aid.
Prince Wlndlschgraeta, president
of the upper house, writing In the
review Das Neue Oesterrelch, appeals
to the Czechs, invoking conciliation,
and begs them to declare courage
ously their patriotism. Otherwise,. h
says, the concessions so far obtained
will be nullified.
This appeal, made by an Intimate
friend of the emperor Is significant.
It implies that the Czech aspirations.
as affirmed by the political refugees
in Paris under the leadership or. Pro r.
Masaryk, are considered a menace
to the safety of the empire. Such
appeals with veiled threats as well as
the efforts -of Clam Martlnlca have
not Impressed the Czechs, whose hos
tility against Austria remains un
changed. Demonstrations of jay took place
at Prague when the allies' reply to
President Wilson's note was known.
They were repressed with bloodsnea.
The association of railway men In
Bohemia, consisting of 40,000 mem
bers, has been dissolved by the police
and Its organ, the newspaper Zela
Eulcuillsty, suppressed.
Czech Ministry Abolished.
Meanwhile the post of the Czech
minister without portfolio at Vienna
has been abolished. The legacy of
one million and a half crowns left
by the archbishop of Olomouc for
the foundation of a second Caeca
Slavonian university In Moldavia has
been declared null and void and the
money has been confiscated by the
government. The works of the two
