Abstract
AN inquiry is being made by the Council of the Federated Superannuation System for Universities as to “what capital sums would be involved to place senior members of the staffs of university institutions in receipt of Treasury grants in a position comparable with that they would have enjoyed had the federated scheme been in operation during the tenure of their university appointments.” This inquiry has been authorised by the Treasury through the University Grants Committee. It may not be generally known, however, that the suggestion arose in the Council of the Federated Superannuation System, and the authorisation simply means that the Treasury is paying the expenses involved in the inquiry. No doubt by this time the staffs of the various university institutions have received copies of the relative form of inquiry with a request to fill in certain particulars, and most of them will not require to be told that the simplicity of the questions has no obvious relation to the difficulty of answering them.
