Among its aims are these — 



1. To promote original research, paying great attention thereto as 

 one of the most important of all departments. 



2. To discover the exceptional man in every department of study 

 whenever and wherever found, inside or outside of schools, and enable 

 him to make the work for which he seems specially designed his life 

 work. 



3. To increase facilities for higher education. 



4. To increase the efficiency of the universities and other institutions 

 of learning throughout the country, by utilizing and adding to their 

 existing facilities, and aiding teachers in the various institutions for 

 experimental and other work, in these institutions as far as advisable. 



5. To enable such students as may find Washington the best point 

 for their special studies to enjoy the advantages of the museums, li- 

 braries, laboratories, observatory, meteorological, piscicultural, and for- 

 estry schools, and kindred institutions of the several departments of the 

 Goverrmient. 



6. To ensure the prompt publication and distribution of the results 

 of scientific investigation, a field considered highly important. 



If in any year the full income of the trust cannot be usefully ex- 

 pended or devoted to the purposes herein enumerated, the Committee 

 may pay such sums as they thinlc fit into a reserve fund, to be ultimately 

 applied to those purposes, or to the construction of such buildings as it 

 may be found necessary to erect in Washington. 



The specific objects named are considered most important in our 

 day, but the Trustees shall have full power, by a majority of two-thirds 

 of their number, to modify the conditions and regulations under which 

 the funds may be dispensed, so as to secure that these shall always be 

 applied in the manner best adapted to the changed conditions of the 

 time; provided always that any modifications shall be in accordance 

 with the purposes of the donor, as expressed in the trust, and that the 

 revenues be applied to objects kindred to those named, the chief pur- 

 pose of the founder being to secure if possible for the United States of 

 America leadership in the domain of discovery and the utilization of 

 new forces for the benefit of man.
