Here is Francis Bacon in Book II of the Advancement of Learning, explaining to King James why more funding is needed for university lecturers: “And because founders of colleges do plant and founders of lectures do water, it followeth well in order to speak of the defect which is in public lectures; namely, in the smallness and meanness of the salary or reward which in most places is assigned to them, whether they be lectures of arts or of professions.”
Amen, Francis.
