(salaries deleted)

While this is a very small subset of colleges (ie, the principle 
research institutions, not the small undergraduate colleges with 
research programs) and only full professors, I found the range 
fascinating-the highest salaries were twice the lowest, making it 
impossible to say "a full professor earns X" without being grossly 
misleading.  I suspect saying "a starting professor earns X" is equally 
misleading.
