Unprofitable investments and the economic crunch have victimized the prestigious Danforth Fellowships, which will be awarded for the final time this year, Warren Martin, director of graduate education at the Danforth Foundation, said yesterday.
The foundation's income has decreased from $12 million during its best year to between $4 and $4.4 million this year, Martin said. "We continue the fellowship program, he said.
"The Danfort Foundation was expending a lot more than the income it was taking in and this worked for several years, but now we have to live off the income," he said.
THE DANFORTH FOUNDATION operates in conjunction with the Ralston Purina Company. The company was established by a member of the Danforth stock portfolio and is the Danforth's stock portfolio is Ralston Purina stock and the remaining 15 percent is diversified.
"Our portfolio has not been doing well. In particular, the past few year's costs have compressed," he said. "It wasn't a bad investment. For a time Ralston Purina diversified into mushrooms, tuna and fast food and there just wasn't enough return."
B THE FOUNDATION awards 60 baccalaureate and 40 post-baccalaureate fellowships annually. The fellowships pay tuition and fees and provide a $2,500 bill.
The graduate fellowship program is the largest in the foundation, so it was the logical place to cut expenditures, Martin said.
In 1972 and 1737 the foundation gave some very large awards, $20 million to the University of Louisiana and Louis University," he said. "Those plus other awards reduced the portfolio considerably. In 1737 and 1747, there was a significant decrease in the portfolio recovering; it just hasn't bounced back."
He added that two major donations to Washington University and St. Louis University had reduced the stock portfolio.
The foundation decided to discontinue the grants at the end of last summer.
About 90 Danforth Fellows met last August in Keystone, Colo., to discuss ways of helping the foundation. One option the
fellows discussed was offering to return between 1 and 5 percent of their grants to the foundation, but Martin said that would not have enough money to continue the program.
THE FELLOWS also considered continuing only the conferences and workshops that Danfort sponsors at a cost of $75-$100,000 if done nationally.
Another proposal was to have the fellows offer what they could to provide for the students in the future.
Norman Yetman, KU post-baccalaureate liaison, said that KU graduate students had been invited for interviews this year and that the foundation would fulfill the obligations of previously granted fellowships.
"Danforth is a foundation based on the faith of our family of St. Louis, which means the Rakuten company," he said. "They have dipped into it, and it's true that there is not as much money in it."
