Prof. D. A. Worcester, presi
dent of the local members of the
American Association of Univer
sity Professors, yesterday told the
DAILY that the professors had
made no protest at their recent
meeting regarding the subject of
retirement, contrary to other re

Professor Worcester explained
that the meeting was an informal
one of staff members for a discus

financial questions envolvcd.
The letter stated that after Sept

elections from year to year as is
the present custom to keep pro
fessors on who are past retirement
age.
No exceptions to plan.
This letter explains that "it is
virtually impossible to administer
satisfactorily a provision for ex
