212 CARNEGIE INSTITUTION 



which the Advisory Committee may find it wise to recommend. 

 This would include all applications which come to the Institution 

 and are favorably considered under the terms of the deed of trust. 



By Research Felloivships your Committee intends the establishment 

 of certain bursaries, to be awarded to mature and most capable in- 

 dividuals, to enable them to carrj^ out important researches at the 

 Institution or elsevx'here, as maj- be determined, for one year or a 

 term of years. These should be awarded ou recommendation of 

 the Advisory Committee. It is thought that six such bursaries, 

 yielding ^i.ooo each, will, at any rate for a certain number of years, 

 be sufficient. 



The third item, Lectures, publications, etc., is one which your 

 Committee recommends v»'ith a view to adopting means of fur- 

 thering in a public manner the interests of the science. We think 

 it would be extremely helpful if experts should be secured to give 

 at intervals, in Washington, lectures devoted especially to topics of 

 the interconnection of the sciences and of different branches of 

 science, with resumes of the progress of science, and to topics which 

 would, in general, serve to unify the work of the Carnegie Institu- 

 tion. This should be undertaken in cooperation with other depart- 

 ments. 



Summing up the recommendations made in this section of the re- 

 port, we reach the following condensed statement : 



Recommendation for equipment, maintenance, and salaries, as given 



above, annually |45,ooo 



Recommendations for special objects, as given above 20,000 



Total annual appropriation. $65 ,000 



The total recomm.endations thus involved amount to from $60,000 

 to $65,000. The maximum sum recommended, namely, $65,000, is, 

 in the mind of your Committee, by no means excessive. 



(5) Partial Schemes. — Partial, or lesser provisions, in case reduc- 

 tion is imperative, could be carried out by omitting one of the prin- 

 cipal bureaus or departm.ents. In this case the Equipment of the 

 Laboratory may be reduced to the essentials of the special bureaus 

 and many researches undertaken v.'ithout such full equipment. 

 This gives a reduction in salaries and equipment to the amount of 

 $io,ooo a year. This reduction would make the entire requisition 

 for psychology' $50,000 per year (when the whole scheme has been 

 put in operation).
