(1) Such persons will be eligible for the socalled five per cent contributory plan adopted heretofore, participation being entirely optional with the individual. Under this provision when the individual makes a payment the College will make an equal contribution of not exceeding five per cent of the salary.
(2) The College will take out individual annuity contracts with the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America for an amount in each case available at age 70 equivalent to the difference between what the retiring allowance would be if the Carnegie Foundation rules of November 15,1922, were in effect and the individual were retiring at age 70 with his present salary (i.e., 1929- 1930) considered as the average salary for computation of allowance, and the sum of the following factors:
(a) the normal $1,000 allowance provided under the new rules of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching; (b) the $500 annuity provided for by the Carnegie Corporation; and (c) the amount of an annuity contract in the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America which would be available on the 5 per cent contributory plan, assuming that payments toward that contract are started May 1, 1930, and continued until age 70, based on the present salary. This provision for the supplementary annuity will be made regardless of whether or not the individual elects to participate in the contributory annuity plan mentioned under paragraph (1) above.
11. If any person eligible to the benefits of this plan has heretofore made provisions for life insurance or annuity contract of such a nature that it would appear equitable, the Treasurer is hereby authorized to make arrangements for the College to provide an annuity contract by contributing 5 per cent of the salary without requiring the five per cent contribution on the part of the person concerned.
EUGENE F. CLARK
Eugene F. Clark of the Class of 1901 died at Hanover February 21, 1930, a member of the faculty since 1908 and secretary of the college since 1919. Assuming successfully varied responsibilities in administrative work, he made a positive contribution in the field of alumni relationship to the college. There was a quiet unhurried tone about his work and a generous helpfulness towards his students and associates which were the distinguishing features of a character of simplicity and beauty. In grateful recognition of his services to the college and of their intimate friendship with him, the trustees record their sense of loss in his death.
