universities, making possible the accomplishment
of all their definite commitments. Assistants
under temporary appointment for work on
projects can be carried for at least one year, and
in cases where the printing of finished work has
begun, the process of publication will not be
interrupted.
The increasing concentration of Foundation
program is leading to a curtailment of the funds
available for the general support of national
councils and planning agencies internationally
useful to humanistic scholars. The American
Council of Learned Societies has received an
appropriation of 390,000 toward support of its
general activities, available at the rate of
230,000 a year over the three-year period from
July 1, 1936, to June 30, 1939. In addition
$25,000 was appropriated to the council for
fellowships and grants in aid in the humanities
during the period ending June 30, 1937. These
grants represent greatly reduced support of the
central organization
and of aid to individual
scholars.
