Introduction. 



Among the applications and projects received by the Institution 

 were several of large scope that have not been mentioned in the 

 reports of the Advisory Committees, printed in Appendix A. There 

 are others not yet considered that may be referred to in a future 

 report. The Advisor}^ Committees reported them to be of great in- 

 terest and importance, but deemed it unnecessary to say more until 

 the plans and policy of the Institution had been further developed 

 and determined. Nine of the more important projects are given 

 here.
