TO MEMBERS OF THE FaCuULTY:

For the academic year 1941-2 the sum of $1250 is available to
help defray the traveling expenses of members of the faculty who attend meet-
ings 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 paver
which will probably be published or a paper especially re-
quested by the program committee shall be eligible to apply
for a grant.

B. Amember of the faculty who is president or secretary of a
national society or who is editor-in-chicf 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 is the round-trip first-class rail-
- road fare by the most direct route with the following limita-

tions: No grant to an individual for a single trip shall ex-
ceed $65.00; if travel is by railroad, the grant shall not
exceed the actual cost of transportation (not including pull-
man); in case several persons to whom grants have been made
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
trip. The apnlication 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 filed in the office of the State Auditor before the
trin is taken.

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

1. Name of organization,

2. Place and date of meeting.

3. If a research paper, title of paper, brief abstract of contents,
and probable vlace of vublication.

4, If an invited paper, title of paper and name of person extending
invitation.

5. Office held if application is 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,
must be presented at the Graduate Office and the proper voucher signed there,
