Employee Benefit Plan

As you may be aware, the College Board, at its meeting of

November 28, 1984, approved, in principle, the establishment of a plan
to allow administrators'and permanent regular faculty to defer a portion
of their regular salary for retirement or sabbatical leave purposes.

Initially, it was hoped that we could implement the plan as early
as December, 1984 based on the premise that an advance tax ruling from
Revenue Canada would not be required.

Some concerns in this regard were expressed by the College Board
and, upon investigation, proved to be very valid. Accordingly, it was

deemed, in the mutual best interests of the College, the Plan Administ¬
ration Committee and the prospective members of the Plan to seek an
advanced tax ruling from Revenue Canada, Taxation.

We are proceeding immediately to make such an application and
anticipate approval to be forthcoming in the near future. Until then,
we cannot formally execute the Trust Agreement and other plan documents

and participation by individuals in the Plan cannot begin.
When all details are finalized, an announcement will be made.
