'J'HE basis on which the commit
tee has decided what salary
each employee of the university
shall get, therefore, is clearly ar
bitiary. It is an almost unhelieve
able attempt to work out a de
tailed and complicated problem by
slipshod and hit-C'r-miss plucking
of figures out of thin atmosphere.
If any piool were needed of the
way the salary schedule was
queered, it is provided by a mere
glance at some of the results. One
faculty member, for example. :
picked at random, foimerly getting
$2,560, is now reduced to 52.225. :
Another, formerly receiving a ;
greater salaiy. namely S'2.710. is
to receive 2.200, or b ss than the
first faculty member.

It takes
resourcefulness . . .
'I :mc and ajirtin, Bell System cnoineers have
liejrionstrated tlieir ioneerinee bent in workinu; (ut
unusual telephone crjnstruction problems.
I'or example, tliey laid a hurje conduit under th,e
Harlem River. They dredged a trench in the river
bortom, lowered enormous sections of iron pipe,
sent down divers to join the sections, encased the
finished tube in concrete. Through this they ran
telephone cables forming one of New York's main
lines of communication. Across the Gila River in
Arizona they constructed a catenary span 2373 feet
long. To bridge oceans, they developed radio tele
phony. They have built telephone lines over moun
tains, across deserts, through swamps.
Their resourcefulness in getting through, over or
under natural barriers makes possible telephone ser
vice that is practically world wide in reach.
