Research funds., prises, &c. RUMFORD FUND. Established by Benjamin 

 Thompson (Count Rumford) in 1796, and now administered by the 

 Rumford committee of the academy. A gold and silver medal (together 

 of the intrinsic value of $300), called the Rumford premium, may be 

 awarded at any annual meeting of the academy to the author of any 

 important discovery or useful improvement in light and heat, which shall 

 have been made and published by printing or in any way been made 

 known to the public, in any part of the continent of America or any of 

 the American islands, preference being always given to such discoveries 

 as shall, in the opinion of the academy, tend most to promote the good of 

 mankind. A sum not exceeding $300 may, at the discretion of the 

 academy, be added to such medals. Appropriations may also be made 

 from the Rumford fund in aid of such researches as may lead to discov- 

 eries and improvements which may merit the Rumford premium. 



Original amount, $5,000; amount in Apr. 1905, $58,722.16, from which the 



income for the year ending Apr. 30, 1905, was $2,550.73.
