Grant Renewed To KU Prof
Renewal of an Army Medical Corps grant to Dr. Dwight J. Mulford, professor of biochemistry, has been announced.
The grant, for $8,525, will enable Dr. Mulford to continue his work on the development of a modified plasma that can be pasteurized to prevent the transmission of the virus which causes jaundice. Dr. Mulford has been working on the project since 1952. The U. S. Public Health Service supported the research until 1954, when the Army took over the sponsorship.
Working with Dr. Mulford on the lasmia study are Edward H. Mealey, Dorchester, Mass., and P. Sundara Rao, Bombay, India, graduate students. Dr. Mulford and Mealey are co-authors of an article on the study, which appeared in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
In 1948, ten persons were accepted for a city management training program at the University after a group of midwestern city managers requested the program.
City Manager Program Grows
Sixty-nine men have graduated with a degree of master of public administration. So many city managers are asking for graduates that more men may be trained in each class.
Prof. E. O. Stene, director of the training program, said it is a 2-year course. A student studies one year on the campus and 1-year under an experienced city manager.
A graduate presents plans to a city council or commission and is chief administrator of different city departments, such as police and fire departments.
About 75 per cent of the graduates make between $5,000 to $10,000.
a year. Four graduates are making above $10,000.
Nearly one-half of the graduates take positions as city managers, but the rest usually enter city administration. The graduates have positions in 20 different states.
The program is open only to graduate students on a selective basis. Nearly one-third of the students taking the program have been undergraduates at the University. The remainder have come from 32 schools.
Originally the program was financed by help of the Carnegie Corporation. Now it is financed by the University and cooperating cities.
Employees employed by the University at Lawrence and at the Medical Center in Kansas City total nearly 3,000.
