RF Annual Report - 1935 - The Rockefeller Foundation

THE MEDICAL SCIENCES 9!
During the year 1934-35 The Rockefeller
Foundation contributed funds to enable Dartmouth
College to provide Professor Ames with
the additional equipment and assistance necessary
for perfecting instruments for diagnosing
aniseikonia. Satisfactory progress was made in
this work as well as in detailed calculations for
grinding formulae for glasses; and the project
reached the stage where the services of ophthalmologists
of special training were required for
the clinical work which would prepare the physiological
and physical findings of Dr. Ames for
widespread application. The Foundation made
a second grant, amounting to $9*0,000, to be
used over a three-year period beginning September
1, 1935, for the salaries of the ophthalmologists
and for the equipment required for
this further research. It is expected that this
support will enable the investigators to bring
their work to a point which will insure its accurate
and sound application.
