3 2 THE RUMFORD FUND 



The Rumford Committee will at any time receive 

 applications for aid from the Rumford Fund in further- 

 ance of researches in heat or light. Such applications 

 may be sent to the Chairman of the Committee or to 

 any of its members in care of the American Academy 

 of Arts and Sciences, Boston, Massachusetts. Full 

 statements should be made as to the object of the in- 

 vestigation for which aid is asked. A report of work is 

 expected yearly as to the progress of the research for 

 which a grant has been made. All apparatus purchased 

 from appropriations from the Rumford Fund is the 

 .property of the Academy and is to be returned to it 

 when the research in question is completed. 



The rule as to publication of papers embodying the 

 results of investigations furthered by grants from the 

 Fund is indicated in a vote of the Rumford Committee, 

 passed June 8, 1898. 



EXTRACT FROM THE RECORDS OF THE RUMFORD COMMITTEE. 



" It was voted that in the judgment of the Committee, persons 

 carrying on researches with the aid of the Rumford Fund should 

 submit to the Academy an account of their researches not less 

 complete than that published elsewhere. These researches may be 

 published in any place or form, with the proviso that due recogni- 

 tion be made of the grant, and of the presentation of the paper 

 to the Academy/ 1
