KU gets oil grant
The Humble Oil Education Foundation has made a $5,500 grant to KU for assistantships in paleontology and engineering research.
The fund, presented to the University by Merrill Haas, an alumnus who is vice president for exploration of the Humble Oil and Refining Company, Houston, Tex., will provide $3,000 for the Wallace Everett Pratt Research Fund. This will pay graduate assistants to senior staff members of the KU Paleontological Institute.
WEATHER
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts partly cloudy skies with southerly winds from 15 to 30 miles per hour. There is a chance of scattered showers Saturday. The low is expected to be in the 50s, with a high Saturday around 70.
The new grant supplements a gift of $4,500 made earlier this year to the Pratt fund by Esso Production Research, a subsidiary of the Humble company.
The Pratt fund honors a KU alumnus who was chief geologist for Humble and later vice president and director of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Mr. Pratt, who retired in 1945, now lives in Tucson, Ariz.
Dr. Curt Teichert, Regents professor of geology, is director of the Paleontological Institute in which Dr. Raymond C. Moore, emeritus Summerfield professor of geology, has remained extremely active since formal retirement from the faculty in 1962.
