UNIVEBSITYi 



In this agreement, " the institute " means 

 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 

 and " the university " means Harvard Univer- 

 sity. It is understood that any action of the 

 president and fellows of Harvard College shall 

 require the consent of the board of overseers 

 wherever such consent is necessary under the 

 laws governing the university. 



I. The university and the institute shall be 

 unaffected in name, organization, title to and 

 rights over property, or in any other way not 

 specifically mentioned in this agreement. 



II. The university and the institute shall 

 cooperate in the conduct of courses leading to 

 degi-ees in mechanical, electrical, civil and 

 sanitary engineering, mining and metallurgy, 

 and in the promotion of research in those 

 branches of applied science. The courses and 

 research shall be conducted in accordance with 

 the provisions of this agreement and on the 

 site in Cambridge recently acquired by the 

 institute bordering on Massachusetts Avenue 

 and the Charles River Embankment or on any 

 other site that may be agreed upon should 

 future conditions render an estension or 

 change of site desirable. 



m. Subject to the reservations hereinafter 

 set forth the university shall devote to the 

 purposes referred to in Section II. the net in- 

 come of all funds that are credited on its 

 books to the Lawrence Scientific School; also 

 the use of all machinery, instruments, and 

 equipment that are suited to these purposes 

 and that the university does not in its opinion 

 need more urgently for other purposes; also 

 not less than three fifths of the net income of 

 the Gordon McKay Endowment; also the in- 

 come of all property that it may acquire here- 

 after for the promotion of education or re- 

 search in the branches of applied science re- 

 ferred to in Section II. ; also such further sums 

 as it may from time to time feel able to con- 

 tribute. 



IV. Subject to the reservations hereinafter 

 1 Agreement ratified by the corporations of both 

 institutions on January 6. 



set forth, the institute shall devote to the pur- 

 poses referred to in Section II. all funds, or 

 the income of all funds, that it now holds or 

 hereafter acquires for the promotion of educa- 

 tion or research in the branches of applied 

 science mentioned in that section, and in ad- 

 dition to this as much of the funds, or income 

 of funds, that it holds for general purposes as 

 is not in its opinion more urgently required 

 for other purposes. 



V. Students' fees for courses in the branches 

 of applied science mentioned in Section II., 

 shall be devoted to the purposes referred to in 

 that section. These fees shall for the first ten 

 years be deemed to be contributed by the two 

 institutions in the proportion of the numbers 

 of the students following these courses in the 

 institute and in the university's graduate 

 schools of applied science, respectively, dur- 

 ing the year 1913-14. At the end of ten years 

 a different arrangement shall be made, if, in 

 the opinion of the two corporations, it appears 

 to be more equitable. The fees of students 

 pursuing courses in the subjects referred to 

 in Section II. in the university's graduate 

 schools of applied science at the time when this 

 agreement is adopted shall be unaffected by 

 any change brought about by this agreement. 

 For all other students the amount of the fees 

 for complete courses leading to those degrees 

 of the institute and of the university that are 

 granted through the operation of this agree- 

 ment shall be $250 per annum until changed 

 by agreement between the two corporations. 

 The amount of fees for partial courses and for 

 research shall be determined as may be agreed 

 upon from time to time. 



VI. The funds available for education and 

 research in the branches of applied science 

 referred to in Section II. shall be expended 

 through the bursary of the institute in the 

 payment of salaries, the maintenance of 

 scholarships, the care of grounds, and the erec- 

 tion and maintenance of buildings and equip- 

 ment or otherwise as may be agreed upon 

 from time to time, it being expressly provided 

 that all proposed appropriations shall be ap- 

 proved by the corporation that supplies the 

 funds, and that buildings shall be erected only
