buildings and equipment. The investments in such departments are there- 

 fore of a somewhat permanent character, and represent in many cases avail- 

 able assets approximating to the initial costs. Investments in minor projects, 

 on the other hand, represent in most cases no assets available to the Institu-

 and equipment purchased by aid of minor grants to individuals has been, and 

 will continue to be, of good service to productive investigators.
