Show 167 President Thomas presented the following letter, addressed to Dr. Paul, and the reply of Dr. Paul thereto: June 23, 1926. Professor J. H. Paul, 448 West Market Street, York, Pa. Deer Professor Paul: Inasmuch as you have sent a copy of each letter to Hr. Hull to me, may I say to you that I shall be glad to present any statement that you wish to the Board of Regents, or if you prefer, when you return, to meet them in person, I have no obiection. There is not any disposition on my pert to preclude -e discussion of the matter referred to in your letter. There is not any expectation of providing e system of retiring allowances for the University of Utah. There is a disposition on the pert of the Board, where men have remained with the Uni~ yersity for a long series of years, and in such cases where their finances require it, to provide a smell retiring alloWence. In the case of President Kingsbury, Professors Corey, Allen and flershell, the Carnegie people are willing to contribute one-third of the total grant made per month. In the case of Professor Fellows, they silos him a pension without any obliga- tion an the part of the university to do anything. President Kingebury has been receiving an allowance for sometime and -Professor Corey is to receive a smell sllowance beginning July 4 let. The other cases have not been determined upon and they 33 are merely problematic. As far as I can learn, the Carnegie tf' peaple are not willing to go any farther in the matter of grants HC' and are not making any allowances to retiring professors sho 3", have sufficient means of their own to live upon. I think you will remember ehen I talked the matter over . with you, I asked you very pointedly if you did not have sufficient . means to care for you and your wife and you responded in the affirnetive, so the matter was not even raised or discussed in -¥9ur case at the Bosrd meetingo Again, I repeat that as fer es I as concerned, there is no disposition to do an unfair thing and I will either present any written material that you have to the Beard, or I have no -‘ J. obgection if you appear in person. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) George Thomas President. |
