RF Annual Report - 1935 - The Rockefeller Foundation

342 THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION
foreign and local, has in the past been stressed
as an essential part of the China Program, in the
future it is intended to emphasize a local fellowship
program rather than fellowships abroad.
Local fellowships to the number of 140 were
awarded between July 1 and December 31,1935.
The majority of these were specifically for training
in rural work. The recipients include a certain
number of men and women who will be connected
with institutions primarily concerned with training
personnel for rural activities.
The
local fellowship program was organized
largely in terms of the major projects which were
being assisted by the Foundation. The table on
page 343 shows the distribution of these fellowships
by institution and subject of study.
The majority of the local fellows are receiving
training of a practical character which should
permit them to occupy positions of responsibility
in different fields of rural reconstruction. This
applies particularly to the fellowships granted to
the Mass Education Movement, Nankai University,
and Yenching University, and many of
those to the National Health Administration.
• The fellowships for the Commission on Medical
Education are for individuals who
are to
occupy professorships on faculties of medicine or
important positions in connection with nursing
schools.
