In June 1935 the following terminal grants
were made, in each case to provide a general research
fund under institutional administration:
(1) The University of Chicago: 375,000 during
the four-year period July 1, 1935, to June 30,
1939; (2) Columbia University: 325,000 during
the calendar years 1936and 1937; (3) Harvard
University: $30,000 during the calendar years
1936 and 1937; (4) Johns Hopkins University:
330,000 during the two-year period July 1, 1935,
to June 30, 1937; (5) University of Michigan:
247,500 during the three-year period July 1,
1935, to June 30, 1938; (6) Princeton University:
?7,500 during the year July 1, 1935, to June 30,
1936; (7) University of Virginia: 310,000 during
the two-year period July 1, 1935, to June 30,
1937.
These sums are believed adequate to care for
projects involving employment of assistants
during the academic year 1935-36 and those in
process of publication at the time of review. The
grants will not carry all projects now under way
to the point of completion, but they are believed
sufficient for the more pressing needs of these
