22 SEA GRANT COLLEGES 



their extension service, their departments of pure and applied science have 

 over the years developed one of the smoothest and most efficient operations in 

 history in that very difficult task of bringing the knowledge and the discoveries 

 of science to immediate and practical application. Furthermore, through the 

 extension service and the experiment station they have developed efficient 

 feedback mechanisms whereby the problems of the farmers are brought back to 

 the laboratory for study and solution. It is this aspect of the land grant college 

 movement we wish to emulate. 



FUNDING THE SEA GRANT PROGRAM 



We believe that at least an important fraction of the sea grant college support 

 should be in the form of institutional grants. We believe that continual, broad- 

 based support, such as that on which the colleges of agriculture were originally 

 based, is important for the success of this program. Not all funds, however, 

 should be awarded on an institutional basis. The remainder could go to special 

 projects, either at existing sea-grant colleges or to other universities elsewhere 

 in the country on a competitive basis.

Changes Suggested by the National Sea Grant College Committee on S. 2439 



Page 2, line 22 through and including line 24 should be deleted and replaced 

 by: "(d) that the concept of the Sea Grant College: an institution of higher 

 learning devoted to increasing our nation's utilization of the world's marine 

 resources through activities in the area of education, public service, and research ; 

 and would relate these activities to the natural sciences which underlie them ; 

 to the social sciences, economics, sociology, psychology, political science and law, 

 as they are affected by and, in turn, affect the occupation of the sea, is a concept 

 which could accomplish the goals as set forth in (a), (b), and (e) above; and"

 grant colleges" with : qualified institutions.

 sciences and related fields resulting in the acquisition of knowledge".
