...Corris, for three seasons a standout in the breaststroke and individual medley, received the William J. Bingham Award last night at the first annual senior lettermen's dinner, held at the Varsity Club...
...first request is for an increase in salary from the present senior rate of $1200 for a fifth-time appointment: "That teaching fellows in the year beginning July 1, 1967 should not receive less than $1600 for a fifth-time teaching load." Perhaps we should say at the outset that such a request makes no sense unless we indicate what one-fifth of work amounts to. As we shall argue in more detail below in our request that a fifth-time teaching load should be equitably defined and administered throughout the University, we assume that a rating of one-fifth...

...compensation for 2/5ths of teaching is presently $2400 for those on senior rate, a figure that is actually reduced to something less than $2300 after taxes. For those on junior rate the compensation for 2/5ths after taxes is less than $1700. Even at the higher rate teaching fellows' incomes fall considerably below the poverty line of $3000 often used as a rough standard for designating poor families in United States Government statistics.

Harvard's senior rate, $6000, compares somewhat favorably with this average: twelve universities paid more, eighteen less. Harvard's junior rate. $4400, compares far less favorably: twenty-two paid more, eight less.... For senior faculty salaries Harvard in fact ranked first of all these schools in average compensation and surpassed the general average...
