to take part in internal University examinations, at present

without payment, and also to take part in conducting the

Katriculation and Local Examinations, payment in the latter

case being made according to a scale fixed by Council,

Owing to the difficulty of replacing members of the

staff absent on long leave, members of the staff in service

are required to assist in any reasonable way in carrying on

the teaching work of the University, and may in this connection

be required from time to time to deliver lectures on subjects

of which they have a sufficient knowledge but which are

outside the work for which they are primarily engaged. It

is a rule of the University that for such additional work

no special payment is made.

Members of the staff are not entitled to take

outside work without the authorisation of the Council.

The first contract does not carry the right to

long leave, but upon renewal of the contract the time already

served counts for long leave in the future. So far as the

exigencies of the service permit, the long leave granted

(which is on full sterling pay) approximate to 9 months leave

(in which a long vacation is included) after 4 years of

actual service.

Full passages (up to a maximum equivalent

to the P. and 0. return fare) are at present paid for members

of the staff, their wives and children under sixteen when

proceeding on and returning from long leave.

Members of the staff, are generally speaking, free

to travel in the Far East during the summer long vacation,

though the conduct of the summer Matriculation Examination

may to some extent limit this right.

Faculty, members of the Faculty may be required to take

charge in rotation of the engineering plant during the summer

months.

It should perhaps be stated that hotel expenses in

the Far East are at present decidedly high.
