20 ANNUAL REFOKT OF THE 



by the Corporation, whether officers or students of Harvard University 

 or not. The subject and the locality or field of research are to be 

 approved by the Division Committee, preference being given to studies 

 of an advanced and original character. The sums of money allotted 

 from the income for research are to be determined by the Division 

 Committee with the approval of the Corporation. The money appro- 

 priated for such work from the income of the fund shall be in addition 

 to the salary that would be otherwise paid to the person or persons 

 undertaking it; and any work or journey thus supported in whole or in 

 part shall be carried on under the name " Shaler Memorial Research " 

 or " Shaler Memorial Expedition." 



The publications here contemplated are to include the results of orig- 

 inal research carried on with the income of the fund, or independently 

 of such aid ; but the results must in all cases receive the approval of 

 the Division Committee as to subject and presentation — though not 

 necessarily as to the conclusions stated — before the}' are accepted for 

 publication. 



All publications thus approved, whether appearing in independent 

 volumes or in some established journal, shall bear the general title, 

 41 Shaler Memorial Series." The allotment of money for publication 

 shall be determined in the same way as for research. 



Beneficiaries under the fund, either as to research or publication, 

 ma} T be invited by the Division Committee to give one or more public 

 lectures in Cambridge on the results of their studies, under the general 

 title "Shaler Memorial Lectures," but no additional payment is to be 

 made for these lectures. 



The income of the fund may be allowed to accumulate in case an 

 investigation, expedition, or publication of considerable magnitude is 

 contemplated by the Division Committee, but it is not desired that such 

 accumulation shall continue beyond a reasonable period of time. 



In addition to any future subscriptions that may be added to the 

 fund, such part of the income as shall constitute one per cent of the 

 principal may be annually added to the principal; but action in this 

 regard is left to the discretion of the Corporation. 



It is wished that the fund shall be administered in accordance with 

 the conditions indicated above, so long as the objects there stated shall 

 be regarded as desirable by the Committee of the Division of Geology; 

 but if the time should come when such objects are no longer held by 

 them to be desirable, the income may be applied to such other objects 

 as the Corporation may determine ; providing only that it shall be ad- 

 ministered as a memorial of Nathaniel Southgate Shaler.
