Fund is the property of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 

 and is to be returned to it when the research for which it was provided 

 is completed, unless otherwise directed by the Committee. 



In case of the purchase of standard apparatus which might be of 

 use in various researches, it is the policy of the Committee to purchase 

 it directly and to loan it to the grantee for such period as may be 

 desirable. 



Recipients of grants for investigations are expected to report 

 annually to the Committee as to the progress of the work for which 

 the grant was made. 



Researches carried on with aid from the Rumford Fund may be 

 published in any place or form with the proviso that due recognition 

 be made of the grant as from the Rumford Fund of the American 

 Academy of Arts and Sciences. A complete copy of every publica- 

 tion shall be presented to the Academy. 



Persons making application for grants from the Rumford Fund 

 are expected to inform the Committee of similar applications made by 

 them for grants from other funds in aid of the same research or of 

 related researches. 



Applications for grants should be made to the Chairman of the 

 Rumford Committee, Care of the American Academy of Arts and 

 Sciences, 28 Newbury St., Boston.
