New page

'''Emeritus''', derived from the Latin ''e-'' or ''ex-'' ("out of") and the verb ''mereor, mereri, meritus sum'' ("to earn, deserve, merit"). Literally, it translates as "out of merit". It is an honorific appended to the end of university titles ("President Emeritus", "Provost Emeritus", "Professor Emeritus", "Trustee Emeritus") to signify the title holder's retirement from active service. It is not automatic, and must be approved by the [[Trustees]] of the University.

Emeritus is pluralized in the masculine as ''emerti''. The female singular form is ''emerita'', and feminine plural is ''emeritae''.

Some professors emeriti retire and withdraw into obscurity. Most, however, continue their teaching affiliation with the University. Professor [[Wm. Theodore de Bary]], for example, became President and Provost Emeritus in [[1990]], yet still keeps an active teaching and research schedule, teaching four or five courses per semester. Usually, an emeritus professor is no longer required to sponsor [[dissertation|dissertations]] or serve on academic committees. This is practical: if a professor is retired, and dies of old age during the dissertation's preparation, the candidate's degree will be negatively impacted.
