Fund

The National Academy of Sciences is seeking a fund which shall yield two million dollars annually to establish national research fellowships for the ablest scientists, so that they may devote their entire time to research in pure science instead of having to teach or employ their talents in the commercial field. If secured, this fund will free scientists from money worries and constitute the greatest help to scientific research since the organization of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations. Twenty-five leading U. S. scientists are to serve on the Board of Trustees to administer the fund.
