 pointment for a period not exceeding one year may be made without 
 ballot. 
 
 2. There shall be two grades of assistant professors. Advance- 
 ment from the fiirst to the second grade shall not be made as matter

 moval of members of the instructing staff, all appointments thereto 
 shall be for the following periods respectively: In the Medical College

 unless they be reappointed. 
 
 4. The term of appointment of every professor shall terminate, un- 
 less sooner ended, at the June commencement next following his 
 sixty-fifth birthday, unless such birthday occurs between commence- 
 ment and the opening of the fall term, in which case such term of 
 appointment shall cease with such birthday, but if such birthday 
 occurs during the first term of the University year, the professor shall 
 have the right to retire at the end of such term, subject to the right 
 of the University to continue the services of any professor in the per. 
 formance of all or part of his former professorial duties for one or 
 more years tljereafter under such title and at such compensation as 
 may be agreed upon. 
 
 5. If it becomes necessary to terminate the appointment of any pro- 
 fessor before he arrives at the age of sixty-five, by reason of physical 
 
 ■or mental infirmity (or other cause than misconduct) which renders 
 him unable to perform satisfactorily some or all of his duties, the date 
 of retirement shall be not earlier than the June commencement 
 following the action of the Trustees in regard thereto. And in the 
 event of retirement as last above specified before the age of sixty- 
 five of some worthy professor who has faithfully served the University 
 for many years, such professor thus retired may be retained to 
 perform such duties as the President may direct and under such title 
 and at such compensation and for such length of time as may be 
 fixed by the Board of Trustees. 
 
 6. It shall be the duty of members of the instructing staff to give 
 to their University work all of their time which may be necessary 
 to a full and satisfactory discharge of their duties and they shall be 
 subject to removal at any time for inadequate or unsatisfactory 
 performance of their duties and for misconduct.

 dent prior to the term preceding the term during which absence is 
 desired. 
 
 2. Not more than one absence from any department of instruction 
 will be granted in any one year, and where more than one application 
 from any department is made, precedence will be given in the order 
 of seniority of service. 
 
 3. Arrangements for continuing the work of instruction in case of 
 such application must be made without expense to the University 
 beyond the full salary of the absentee. 
 
 4. Such a professor while remaining in Ithaca under a leave of

 plication is made. Blank forms for application may be obtained 
 from the Dean. 
 
 2. The term of each fellowship and graduate scholarship shall be 
 one year, but this term may be extended to two years, providing the

 be payable at the office of the Treasurer of the University in six equal

 graduate scholarship, except in the case hereafter specified under 
 paragraph 9 of these rules, and any fellow or scholar may be dis- 
 possessed of the income of the fellowship or graduate scholarship by 
 action of the Faculty of the Graduate School, if guilty of any offense 
 or of any course of conduct which in the opinion of said Faculty shall 
 
31 
 
 render the holder unworthy of retaining such fellowship or graduate 
 scholarship, but final action in such cases by the Faculty shall be by 
 ballot, and shall require a two-thirds vote of those present. 
 
 5. Vacancies in fellowships and graduate scholarships which occur 
 after October ist, shall be filled only by a three-fourths vote of the 
 Faculty present.

 may have received.

 case of a student of very exceptional ability and promise in the fields

 search, be combined for a single year into one. 
 
 9. Upon the recommendation of the Faculty of the Graduate 
 School, a University fellowship may be divided for a single year into 
 two graduate scholarships, the value of each to be one-half of that 
 of the divided fellowship. No fellowship shall be thus divided 
 oftener than once in two years.

 versity, or in any other university or college. 
 
 3. Any such scholarship shall be forfeited at any time in case 
 two-thirds of the ^University Faculty present at any meeting, notice 
 of such proposed action having been given at the last preceding meet- 
 ing of said Faculty, shall decide that the holder thereof has been 
 guilty of negligence or of failure to maintain a high standard of

 ship holder.

 vacant, the vacancy shall be filled as the University Faculty may 
 determine.
