charge in whose department the candidate is eminent. The recom- 

 mendation shall be accompanied by the scientific history of the 

 candidate. 



These associateships shall be granted to men of the recognized 

 exceptional eminence already specified, connected with other insti- 

 tutions of learning, in consideration of their past and present con- 

 tinuous ser\dces to scientific research in physics. 



It is hoped that in the interest of the advance of science, the per- 

 son in question will be found deserving of additional encouragement 

 on the part of the university or college to which he belongs, which 

 encouragement may be an increase in salary, or relief from exces- 

 .sive teaching, or from routine duties, or any other reciprocal cour- 

 tesy. It is to be specifically understood that the associateship is to 

 be an addition to whatever material rank the recipient may have 

 previously attained at his own institution. 



The associateships shall be filled only when the person of the 

 recognized ability has been found. They need not be filled continu-

The temporarj' associateships shall consist of a grant of two thou- 

 sand dollars per annum and be subject "to renewal every five years, 

 and after five renewals they shall be permanent and constitute a 

 pension. 



In return for the honor extended to the associate by the Carnegie 

 Institution, the Council will ask for no further service than a con- 

 nected annual account from the recipient, of the work on which 

 during the term of his appointment he has been engaged. Each 

 such account shall be given with the necessary scientific rigor and 

 they shall together constitute his qualification for reelection. 



(14) Resident associates. In addition to the non-resident associ- 

 ateships, there shall be not more than fifteen resident associate- 

 ships established at an average salary of $3,000 per annum. These 

 associateships will probably fall to the lot of those showing most 

 ability among the resident assistants hereinafter specified. The 

 appointment shall be made for three years, after which it may 

 be renewed. 



The resident associates shall be nominated by the Council, after 

 consultation with the physicist in charge in whose department the 

 assistant has worked, and the Council shall state the scientific ac- 

 complishments of the candidate. 



(15) Research assistants. — In order further to encourage research 

 throughout the country, it is recommended that the Council be
