Rockefeller Foundatiol to
Conduct National Research
Aid Development of Purely American Scientists Along Line
of Physics and Chemistry

Self-interest. once fully aroused, will
amply provide for industrial investiga-
tons; but this is not true of the fun
damental scientific research on which
industrial progress. depends
3-The. advancement OF research in
pure science must be financed from
private funds. At present almost all
research In physics and chemistry Is
done at odd movements by over
worked teachers inadequately eatIip-
ped and without assistants to relieve
them of petty details. With adequate
funds these difficulties can be over
come.
il is expescted that under the plan
adopted the research personnc! will
consist largely of men not only OF
adequate training and special fitness.
but men still at an age ftwenty-five
10 thirty years. when Their magma
zion and creative powers are at their
best.
Their association in groups is ex~
pected to afford mutual stimulus that
will prove of the highest value.
From the educational standpoint the
plan will constitute climax or cui~
mination of the educational system
OF the country. 1t will not compete
with tn graduate work of our univer =
sites, but viii supplement and extend
il, %
The proposed plan Will. it is expect
ted, continually produce d considerable
number OF expert investigators. who.
after completing their work in the CO.
operating institutions, will take lead
ing positions in. industrial research
labora tories. where they Will organize
and conduct research work. or in uni
versities, where they will train their
students in research directions.
It is expected, too. that the annual
award Of Research Fellowships by
the National Research council will
serve to secure an appreciation OF the
importance of research on the part OF
the public. of the trustees and tacul-
lies of educa tional institutions, and of
their undergraduates students,

TN MEMORIAM.-

~ regular meeting of Richm ond
Lodge. No. 4. /. o. 0. F., held In their
lodge room March 20, 1919. the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were
adopted unanimously by rising vote:
Whereas, our honored and beloved
brother, J. TAYLOR Ellyson. will no
more mingle IN our lodge ,rleetir gs
his noble spirit having made Its flight

we will pnfxs his wise counsels and

itts love and zeal for the order. and
e.te@"'allv for Richmond Lodge, No.
4, were unquestioned. He Joined our
o'dar thirty years ago. God bless his
memory. In the rich and glowing
benignity of his nature were the re-
sponses to every call of duty--to visit
the sick. to bury the dead and cheer
the widow and the orphan. and they
linked him, as by chain OF affection.
TO his kind We mourn the loss of
this true friend and brother. His ex-
ample as a man and an Odd-Fellow is
worthy Of emulation, His influence
for good will long be felt. and his
memory cherished by his friends and
brothers who now live. but who in
time will follow him to the tomb.
His death has cast the shadow OF =
great Ertet upon our hearts. Tor we
truly loved him. He Is gone. We
shall look no more into his kindly
face But sooner or later, when LIES
labor song is sung, and we shall have
laid Its burdens down, we may hope
TO meet and greet our brother in that
better cline. where the links Of fra

ships are IMMORTAL. With bowed
heads and Borrowing hearts we offer
this, our feeble tribute, to his MEM

Resolved, second, That g. copy OF

did remarkably thrifty business

crowd had assembled at the place
