THE purpose of the institute" :"
said DR.. Perkins, "is to serve as a
Icoordinating agency through which
representatives of the several sci
ences, arts, and professions bear
ing upon human relations may ex-
change ideas, integrate findings,
and cooperate in working toward a
unified body of knowledge about
man, his institutions, and his inter-
actions.
''The institute will sponsor re-
search and service projects in the
general area of human relations
and establish programs of educa-
tion concerned with the solution of
problems of human relations"
In addition to conferences on
topics related to the institutes
goals, there will be bulletins pub
lished and training programs ar
ranged. Educational programs in
the U. of D. leading to undergrad
uate and graduate degrees are ex-
pected to be established, and spec
ial university services will be made
available for research and consul
tation. These facilities will include
the Psychological Services Center,
statistics laboratory, placement
service, and the Bureau of Econ
omic and Business Research.
Membership in the institute will
be open to all persons who attend

the conferences and Indicate a de-
sire to affiliate. The members will
elect a nine-member executive
committee. The committees func-
tions will include: formulating
overall policy procedures, main
tanning an inventory of research
services and opportunities, initial
ing projects where needed, and
considering requests for research
and service.
Ordinarily, similar institutes in
other universities restrict their
membership to the faculty, DIR.
Perkins said, making the Delaware
institute rather unusual in this re-
spect. He commented that the In
stitute of Human Relations poten-
TALLY offers a new means in which
the university will serve the state.

the university, is chairman of the
joint planning committee for the
institute. Other members from the
university are: DR.. Frederick B.

delve. These problems, he said, in

"For example" explains
Groucho, ''there is the sporting

for one of the racetracks, equip
