agreed, that should it be decided to retain the

services of the Reader beyond the 31st December, 1932,

the University would not offer him a scale of pay of

which the minimum would be less than £750 a year at

the current rate of exchange. It must be clearly

understood that though the Council and Court of the

University have approved the scale recommended by the

1929 Committee, no definite undertaking can be given

or has been made, as to when, if ever, the se scales will

be actually put into effect. This will depend on the

financial position of theUniversity and this condition

is almost wholly contingent on the exchange value of the

dollar.

The Reader will receive full pay with effect from

the date of his arrival in Hong Kong, and half pay with

effect from the date of embarkation on his journey out

to Hong Kong. When the Reader is leaving the Service

of the University (save in the event of dismissal) he

will receive full salary during his voyage home.

The Reader will be required to become a contributor

to the University Superannuation Fund. The Reader' ន

obligatory contributions will be 5 per cent of the

number of dollars paid to him each month by way of salary

the University will contribute 10 per cent. The

retiring age is fixed at 60: Apart from the accumul a-

tions of the Superannuation Fund, there is no pension.

It may be possible to provide the Reader with

quarters in the University estate suitable for an

unmarried man. The Reader would be allowed to occupy

such quarters rent free, and no charge would be made

for water or electric current (up to a defined maximum).
