Hi CARNEGIE INSTITUTION 



Grants Recommended by Advisory Committees. 



In addition, the Advisory Committees have submitted a number of 

 recommendations not included in the foregoing table. These are 

 printed on pages xxxiv-xxxv of the confidential report to the Trus- 

 tees, issued November n, 1902, and that for the southern and solar 

 observatories in the present report : 



Physics, per annum $250,000 



Geophysics, per annum 150,000 



Psychology, per annum 45,000 



Physiology, per annum 50,000 



Southern Observatory, twelve years ($820,000), first year 80,000 



Solar Observatory, twelve to fourteen years ($1,280,000), first year. . 150,000 



History, per annum 17,500 



Botany, per annum 24,000 



Exploration, per annum 120,000 



Geology, three years, per annum 25,000 



Total $911,500 



Adding this to the total amount in above summary. 2,200,398 



Gives a total of $3, 1 1 1 ,898 



The above total would have been still larger if all the grants had 

 been made as requested. Frequently grants are requested for one 

 year which, if made, would involve a number of subsequent grants 

 before the completion of the work. 



This is not intended as a close analysis of the amount of money 

 desired. It merely shows the impossibility of making the present 

 income of the Carnegie Institution provide for more than a small 

 part of the grants requested. 



Substantially all these applications have been carefully examined 

 and considered. Many of the more important are explained in the 

 first Year Book. All are set forth and explained in the papers on 

 file and ready to be produced for the consideration of the Trustees. 



Most of these applications have been considered unfavorably by 

 the Committee as being for less desirable purposes for expenditure 

 from the income of the trust than those for which grants have been 

 made. Some, however, have seemed only less important than the 

 matters favorably reported upon, and these should, the Committee 

 thinks, be regarded as subjects of future consideration whenever 

 available funds shall permit.
