24 CARNEGIE INSTITUTION 



for optical research is estimated at $125,000, and its equipment at 

 $30,000. When the laboratorj'^ is sufficiently advanced and equipped, 

 a third research associate and six research assistants in residence, 

 together with instrument makers, clerks, computers, etc., should be 

 appointed. 



With regard to appointments not in residence, your Committee 

 after prolonged and careful consideration, with testimony, recom- 

 mend that in view of the opportunities of the laboratorj^ but one 

 permanent research associateship and seven temporary research 

 associateships be established at once. This implies an outlay of 

 $34,000. 



Finally the Committee are of the opinion that $10,000 should be 

 made available for grants. 



The total expenditure for the first year would therefore be 

 $200,000.
