Under the auspices of The Karl P. Schmidt Fund (see Annual 

 Report 1958, page 30) three students were enabled to carry on studies 

 at the Museum. These were Robert C. Feuer of the University of 

 Michigan, who came to study turtles in the Museum collections, 

 John Ostrom of Beloit College, who came to study certain dinosaurs 

 in our collections, and Jose" M. Gallardo of Museo Nacional in 

 Buenos Aires, who came to study South American amphibians in 

 the Museum collections. 



This Fund, contributed by friends of the late Dr. Karl P. Schmidt 

 of the Museum staff, is administered by the Museum except that 

 grants-in-aid are awarded by a special committee that includes 

 both Museum and non-Museum personnel and does not involve the 

 Museum administration. An additional sum of $471.06 was turned 

 over to the Museum in 1959 for investment.
