XIV CARNEGIE INSTITUTION 



6. To ensure the prompt publication and distribution of the re- 

 sults of scientific investigation, a field considered highly important. 



If in any year the full income of the Trust cannot be usefully 

 expended or devoted to the purposes herein enumerated, the Com- 

 mittee may pay such sums as they think 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 maj- 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 purpose 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. 



In Witness Whereof, I have subscribed these presents, con- 

 •sisting of what is printed or typewritten on this and the preceding 

 seven pages, on [twenty-eighth] day of [January], Nineteen Hun- 

 dred and Two, before these witnesses.
