members of the faculty is for a period of twelve months during each
year. Those continuously employed must hold themselves in readiness
for service at any time during the year and receive their salaries in

monthly installments. It is assumed that all persons worthy of employ—
ment in the instructional staff will be interested above all else in
developing the work of their departments, will have no interests incom-
patible therewith, and will give the utmost of their pOWers at all
times to the promoti n of that endo '

Members of the University staff may be permitted to do
professional work of an expert character outside the University, and

not readily be obtained elsewhere, provided that no piece of such out—
side work shall be undertaken except on the prior authorization of

Trustees, for public record in their minutes the facts relating to
every such authorization which he gives.

authority. This shall not be interpreted as prohibiting any one from
tutoring for remuneration in subjects over which he has no control.

ognized, and it is desired that all shall have reasonable vacations
and shall use their vacations rationally to promote the end for which
they are intended. All members of the faculty shall be in actual at—
tendance at least until after Commencement and until all reports have
been made, and at least three days prior to the first day of registra»

President. All above the rank of instructor shall keep the President
informed as to their whereabouts in periods of absence, and be in read—
iness to respond quickly to any call for service.
