TO MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY:

For the academic year 1939-40 the sum of $1250 is available
to help defray the traveling expenses of members of the faculty who attend
meetings of national societies. The Graduate Research Committee has
established the following regulations for the distribution of the fund:

A. A member of the faculty who attends a meeting of a national
society and presents, in person, either a research paper
which will probably be published or a paper especially re-
quested by the program committee shall be eligible to apply
for a grant.

Be A member of the faculty who is president or other official
presiding officer of a national society,or who is secretary
of a national society, or who is editor-in-chief of the official
journal of a national society, shall be eligible to apply for
a grant to attend one meeting of the society during the year.

C. The maximum of each grant shall be two cents per mile each
way with a maximum total of $50.00 per grant. In no case
shall a grant exceed the necessary cost of transportation
by railroad (not including pullman). In case several persons
travel by private automobile, the total amount granted to all
persons traveling in a single car shall not exceed four cents
per mile each way.

Members of the faculty desiring grants from this fund must
present written requests at the Graduate Office at least one month in
advance of the trip. The anplication so far in advance is made necessary |
by a law enacted by the Legislature requiring that approval by the Board
of Regents of each out-of-state trip be in the office of the State
Auditor before the trip is taken,

Applications for grants must be approved by a sub-committee of
the Graduate Research Committee. Each application should include a state-~
ment giving the following information:

1. Name of organization,

2. Place and date of meeting.

3e Title, brief abstract of contents,and vrobable place
of publication of papers to be presented.

4. Official title if applying for a grant as an officer.

Before payment of an approved grant can be made, the receipts

for railroad fare both ways, or other evidence of the cost of transportation,
mast be presented at the Graduate Office and the proper voucher signed there.
