awards. They are for the 1951-52
academic year.
Granting of the fellowships is a
continuation of the company's plan
originated in 1918 to encourage
graduate research in chemistry. It
has since been expanded to include
ether fields. 1t provides support
for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral
training of students in these bran
ches of science in institutions of
higher learning.
1t is expected that the program
will help maintain the flow of
technically trained men and wo-
men into teaching and research
work at universities and into tech
nical positions in industry.
The grants-in-aid to universities
are for unrestricted use in the field
OF fundamental chemical research.
They provide $4,000 for each of 10
universities, all of which received
similar awards for the present
school year. The company also pro-
vided $4,000 to the University of
Chicago for calendar year 1851
membership in its Institute for the
Study of Metals.
The universities themselves Sc
lect the research projects for
which the grants will be used, the
only stipulation being that they be
free from any commercial implica-
tions at the time the work is ini-
tiated. The company emphasized
that there shall be complete free
dom in the communication and pub
