DIVIDENDS ARE "RECEIVED BY COLLEGE UNIT FACULTY OF ROLLINS COL- LEGE SET RETURNS FROM ANNUITY (By Asscctated Press) WINTER PARK, Fla. Aug. 16. —Members of the faculty of Rol- lins College are receiving at this time, according to W. H. Short, business manager, dividends from the Teachers Insurance and An- nuity Association of America, founded by Andrew Carnegie and endowed by him. These dividend: are on life insurance policies car- ried beyond the first ‘policy year. It was explained that the meth- od of computing dividends is sim- ilar to’ fact used in previous years, extra interest of one per cent on |the reserve being credited to- gether with a conservative part of } the saving from favorable mor- tality. These dividends reduce the net cost of the professional j insurance protection with the as- {sociation to an extremely low fig- j ure. ‘ The Teachers Insurance and An- Nuity Association was, established | by the late Andrew Carnegie to itake the place of the Carnegie | Founéation Pension System for , college professors.
