ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON PSYCHOLOGY 211 



The scheme of expenditure which this arrangement will involve 



may be indicated as follows : 



(a) Salary of Chairman of Advisory Committee, $3,000 (besides 



office and other necessary expenses of the committee, and to be 



paid only in case he holds no other position in the Institution) . 



{b) Salary of Director, $6,000 or $10,000 (according as he gives a 

 part or the whole of his time) . Great flexibility should character- 

 ize the arrangements in order to secure the right man. 



{c) Salaries of two heads of departments or professors at $3,000 

 or $5,000 (according as they give part or the whole of their time) — 

 $6,000 or $10,000. It would seem quite feasible for a university 

 professor to conduct one of these departments while still serving 

 his university, provided competent assistants or associates be given 

 him. 



{d) Salaries of staff officers or associates — one or two for each of 

 the three departments, at $2,000 to $3,000 each : First year, $6,000 ; 

 second year, $7,500; third year, $10,000. 



First year. Second year. Third year. 



Totals |20,ooo (about) $25,000 (about) $30,000 



Uniting these two estimates for equipment and ^naintenance and for 

 salaries, we have as follows : 



First Second 



year. year. 



Annual 

 appropria- 

 tion. 



Equipment and maintenance $25,000 $20,000 $15,000 



Salaries 20,000 25,000 30,000 



Totals $45,000 $45,000 $45,000 



That is, an expenditure of $45,000 per year, divided as indicated 

 above, will give adequate equipment and permanent maintenance to 

 such a department as we have sketched. 



(4) Special Objects. — In addition to the foregoing, we recommend 

 the establishment of a fund for certain special objects, the total to be 

 very flexible. The objects to be covered by this fund are, in our 

 opinion, these : 



Grants and subsidies $10,000 



Research fellowships (by whatever name they may be known) 6,000 



Lectures, publications, etc 4,000 



Total $20,000 



In explanation of this class of special objects, we may say that by 

 Grants and Subsidies we understand particular cases of research
