GRANTS RECOMMENDED BY ADVISORY 

 COMMITTEES. 



In addition, the advisory committees 

 have submitted a number of recommenda- 

 tions not included in the foregoing- table. 

 These are printed on pages xxxiv-xxxv of 

 the confidential report to the trustees, is- 

 sued November 11, 1902, and that for the 

 southern and solar observatories in the 

 present report : 



Physics, per annum $ 250,000 



Geophysics, per annum 150,000 



Psychology, per annum 45,000 



Physiology, per annum 50,000 



Southern Observatory, twelve years 



($820,000) , first year 80,000 



Solar Observatory, twelve to fourteen 



years ($1,280,000), first year 150,000 



History, per annum 17,500 



Botany, per annum 24,000 



Exploration, per annum 120,000 



Geology, three years, per annum 25,000 



Total $ 911,500 



Adding this to the total amount in above 



summary 2,200,398 



Gives a total of $3,111,898 



The above total would have been still 

 larger if all the grants had been made as 

 requested. Frequently grants are re- 

 quested for one year which, if made, would 

 involve a number of suksequent grants 

 before the completion of the work. 



This is not intended as a close analysis 

 of the amount of money desired. It 

 merely shows the impossibility of making 

 the present income of the Carnegie Institu- 

 tion provide' for more than a small part of 

 the grants requested. 



Substantially all these applications have 

 been carefully examined and considered. 

 Many of the more important are explained 

 in the first ' Year Book. ' 



Most of these applications have been con- 

 sidered unfavorably by the committee be- 

 cause they are not regarded as proper or 

 useful purposes for expenditure from the 

 income of the trust. 



Some, however, have seemed to the com- 

 mittee only le.ss important than the matters 

 favorably reported upon, and these should, 

 the committee thinks, be regarded as sub- 

 jects of future consideration whenever 

 available funds shall permit.
