plete a comprehensive monograph on the subject of 

 their researches. The subject matter of such mon- 

 ograph shall not contain specific information of the 

 process or methods of the Company but it shall be 

 confined to a statement of new discoveries of scien- 

 tific fact obtained by this Fellowship and such 

 statement shall not contain data or ioformation in 

 regard to the cost of manufacture by any process 

 revealed in such statement. A copy of this mono- 

 graph shall be forwarded to the Company and a 

 copy shall be signed and placed in the archives of 

 the Institute until the expiration of three years 

 from the time hereinafter provided for the termi- 

 nation of this Fellowship, when the Institute shall 

 be at liberty to publish it for the use and benefit 

 of the public. 



In the event that in the opinion of the Com- 

 pany such publication at such time will unduly in- 

 jure its interests, it shall have the privilege of ap- 

 pealing at any time for an extension of time of 

 such publication to the Board of Arbitration pro- 

 vided for herein, which, after considering the ap- 

 peal, shall, if in its opinion such publication will 

 unduly injure the Company's interests, extend the 

 time of publication to a time when in the Board's 

 opinion publication will not unduly injure the in- 

 terests of the Company.

 ment shall terminate the day of ,

The permanent building which will be in 

 occupation by the institute by next September 

 is splendidly fitted to correspond with its 

 needs. In order that the institute may not 

 grow too large for maximum eiSciency in its 

 different researches and for the maintenance 

 of its fraternal spirit it has been determined 

 to limit its members to seventy fellows. As 

 the present number of fellows is thirty-seven, 

 this will necessitate a considerable increase in 

 the directional and supervisional permanent 

 staff. Perhaps I may be permitted to say here 

 that I am eagerly on the watch tower for men 

 possessed of the rare qualities requisite for 

 such positions. 



The Graduate School of Specific Industries 

 which will be connected with the Institute on 

 the completion of its building, I shall make 

 the subject of a future statement. 



Finally it may be said, on the basis of the 

 two years intervening since my last statement 

 to this journal, that this system of coopera- 

 tion between industry and learning, between 

 the factory and the university, has positively 

 passed the tentative and experimental stage 

 and that it now stands as a valuable and per- 

 manent relation to both. Any anxieties I 

 may have are not now connected with this 

 example of the system, but with my desire 

 that it should be extended into other educa- 

 tional institutions. We believe that this can 

 be accomplished by handing over to the uni- 

 versities for this service some of our own men 

 inducted into a full knowledge of the working 

 of this system through years of connection 

 with it.
