TO MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY:

For the academic year 1943-44 the sum of $1000 is available to helv.
defray the traveling exvenses 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. Amember of the faculty who attends a meeting of a national
society and presents, in person, either a research paper
which will vrobably be published or a paper especially re-
quested by the program committee shall be eligible to avvly
for a grant.

B. Amember of the faculty who is president or secretary of a
national society or who is or-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.

   

CG. The maximum of each grant is the round-trip first-class
railroad fare by the most direct route, but with the follow
ing limitations: no grant to an individual for a single
trip shall exceed $85.00; if travel is by railroad, the grant »
shall not exceed the actual cost of transportation, including
Pullman fare; in case several persons to whom grants have been
made travel by vrivate 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

Applications for grants must be avvroved by a sub-committee of the
Graduate Research Committee. Each application should include a statement giving
