UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Graduate School

TO MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY:

There remains a fund of about $350.00 which may be used for
assistance to research projects of members of the Faculty during the
present academic year. The Graduate Research Committee plans to give
early consideration to the distribution of the fund and is, therefore,
asking that any requests be submitted not later than Friday, October 20.

The fund available is entirely from the maintenance fund of
the University. Consequently, grants cannot be made involving direct
salaries or wageSe

It is very important that each request be considered carefully
before being submitted. The amount still available is small, and already
quite a number of requests have been filed. It would be helpful to the
Committee if each person submitting a request would obtain the endorse-
ment of the head or chairman of his devartment.

With each anplication there should be furnished as compvlete
and as accurate information as vossible on the following points:

1. Nature of the project and probable
results to be obtained

2. Its present state of completion

3. Total amount necessary during
1939-1940 from the Research Fund
and specific purposes for which
each portion of the sum is to be
used

4, Probable amount necessary from the

Research Fund in future years in
order to complete the project.
