Y., under the Act of August 24, 1912 AMERICAN FOUNDATIONS FOR SOCIAL WELFARE: A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY In response to frequent requests for information relative to American foundations for social welfare, a tentative bibliography was prepared and published in June, 1915, revised in December, 1920, with a supplementary list issued in October, 1922. The December, 1920, list with the supplement issued in October, 1922, were revised and published as one bibliography in June, 1924. Since then many new foundations have come into existence necessitating the inclusion of new data and the revision of the various sections of the earlier bibliographies by officers of the several foundations. The whole is incorporated in this bulletin. Any additional data or suggestions which might increase the usefulness of this list will be received gladly and incorporated in later editions. In this bibliography are given only those official publications which are indicative of the work of the various foundations. Periodical literature, except by donors or members of staffs of the foundations, is not included, but may be found readily by reference to the various periodical indices. EDGAR F.

AMERICAN FUND FOR PUBLIC SERVICE, INC. “The American Fund for Public Service, Inc., is established to further movements for the public welfare. It is an association incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, en¬ titled to receive funds by gift or be¬ quest and to distribute them for pub¬ lic service. The initial gift to the Fund of $800,000 from Charles Gar¬ land of Massachusetts enables the Directors to initiate the work. The Fund aids those who desire to contrib¬ ute to new and experimental move¬ ments, either by advising them of the needs in that field, or by placing contributions for them, or by advising them in making bequests. This Fund exists to help movements which have not yet gained any sub¬ stantial public support and which rep¬ resent the ideas and aspirations of new and developing forces. In order more clearly to indicate the field of useful¬ ness which the Directors have in mind the following statement of policy has been adopted in dealing with applica¬ tions for assistance: It is not intended to follow rigid rules in administering the Fund and exceptions may be made where par¬ ticular needs justify them. The Board of Directors in general feels that the Fund’s field of usefulness does not in¬ clude relief of individuals, support of colonization schemes, mechanical in¬ ventions, partisan or sectarian move¬ ments, or social agencies of established conventional types. The Fund is more interested in experimental move¬ ments in the field of education and industrial organization, particularly those in the interest of the producing classes, and for the protection of minority groups.” Acting President,RobertM.Lovett; Secretary, Elizabeth G.

THE AMERICAN-HUNGARIAN FOUN¬ DATION The American-Hungarian Founda¬ tion, a national organization which has as its purpose the exchange of pro¬ fessors and students between Ameri¬ can and Hungarian colleges, was founded in 1922 through the efforts of Julius Madarasz. The society was incorporated under the laws of Michi¬ gan in April, 1924, with its central office at East Lansing, Michigan. The Foundation has been officially recognized by the Hungarian govern¬ ment and the League of University Professors of Hungary, as well as by the Michigan State Board of Agricul¬ ture which has made possible the awarding of fellowships in the Michi¬ gan State College. Negotiations with the Hungarian government are carried on through the Royal Hungarian Embassy at Washington, D. C. To carry out its purpose the Foun¬ dation depends upon voluntary con¬ tributions and annual membership dues. It plans to establish an endow¬ ment fund as soon as possible to make available scholarships in various uni¬ versities and colleges in America, as well as in Hungary. President, Clarence E. Bement, East Lansing, Mich. THE AMERICAN-SCANDINAVIAN FOUNDATION The American-Scandinavian Foun¬ dation was endowed in 1911 by the late Niels Poulson, with an annual in¬ come of $20,000 or more to maintain an interchange of students and teach¬ ers and to support other forms of educational intercourse between the United States and Scandinavia. Its funds are administered by a self-per¬ petuating Board of Trustees, who have the power, under their charter, to receive and manage any other funds entrusted to their care. At first, it was possible for the Foundation to appoint only six stu¬ dents to Fellowships each year, but from 1919 to 1924, other friends of the Foundation in America and abroad have donated funds annually so that the exchange has been increased to provide for forty travelling Fellows, twenty being appointed on each side. During this first decade of the Foun¬ dation’s existence, three hundred stu¬ dents, men and women, were appointed to Fellowships and scholarships of the Foundation.

JUDGE BAKER FOUNDATION After Harvey Humphrey Baker, the first Judge of the Boston Juvenile Court, had died and Frederick P. Cabot had been appointed his suc¬ cessor, it was suggested that the thing most necessary for the future well¬ being of the Court was to have a department which would present to Judge Cabot all the facts in relation to the physical, mental and social con¬ dition of the children who were brought before him. When it was found possible to induce Dr. William Healy and Dr. Augusta F. Bronner to come to Boston, steps were taken to organize the Judge Baker Foundation, and pledges were obtained to carry out the experiment over a series of years. The Judge Baker Foundation was incorporated under the laws of Massa¬ chusetts on April 26, 1917, “for the purpose of promoting the better un¬ derstanding of juvenile delinquents which admit of desirable development and the ways and means by which to develop them, establishing and main¬ taining a clinic, medical, psychological, or other kind, which shall study, examine and make diagnoses, prog¬ noses, and reports on juvenile delin¬ quents; conducting such activities as shall advance general and special knowledge of the causes of delin¬ quency and of the care and treatment of delinquents; and generally carrying on civic and educational purposes and thereby establishing and maintaining a living memorial to Harvey Hum¬ phrey Baker, first Justice of the Bos¬ ton Juvenile Court.” Directors, William Healy, M.D., Augusta F.

BARNES FOUNDATION The Barnes Foundation was incor¬ porated in the State of Pennsylvania on December 4,1922, as an educational institution. Its purpose is educational in the widest sense of the word though it centers primarily in advancement of the understanding and appreciation of the fine arts. The Foundation’s program for edu¬ cation is based upon the fundamental conceptions of “ democracy” and “education” as these are set forth in the work of modern thinkers, and more particularly in that of John Dewey. The Foundation, though its official status as an educational insti¬ tution dates back only a little more than two years, has been actively engaged in educational work for more than twenty years. It grew out of a business which was from the start a co-operative affair in that all the principals were animated by a com¬ mon interest and that, in the division of labor, each of them was intrusted with individual initiative and respon¬ sibility. The Foundation does not aim to confine its scope to art or even aes¬ thetics but ultimately its intention is to assist in the work of making an appli¬ cation of scientific method, in the best sense of the word, to all phases of human nature. At present the Foun¬ dation conducts general courses in the appreciation of art at the University of Pennsylvania and at Columbia University as well as more specialized courses. It also supplies lecturers for colleges, schools, and clubs on various topics connected with art and educa¬ tion. President, Albert C. Barnes, Merion, Pa. Barnes Foundation.

MARY GASTON BARNWELL FOUNDA¬ TION James G. Barnwell bequeathed his entire residuary estate, amounting to upwards of $320,000, for the benefit of the students and graduates of the Central High School of Philadelphia. The Trust was named the Mary Gas¬ ton Barnwell Foundation in honor of the Testator’s mother, and is adminis¬ tered by the Philadelphia Trust Com¬ pany as Trustee. It maintains the Barnwell Lectureship in Ethics, the Barnwell Addresses and gives support to the Barnwell Library. New activi¬ ties will be undertaken from time to time for the benefit of students and alumni. Secretary, Joseph Faltermayer, Cen¬ tral High School, Philadelphia, Pa. JAMES BUCHANAN BRADY FOUNDATION The late James B. Brady left a clause in his will as follows: “ I do hereby give and bequeath the residue of my estate to the Society of the New York Hospital for establish¬ ment and maintenance as a part or branch thereof, of a department to be known as the Department of Urology, James Buchanan Brady Foundation. The technical head of said department shall be entitled Director and shall be appointed by the Society of the New York Hospital except in so far as the appointment of Dr. Oswald S. Lowsley is herein provided for. The necessary rooms for the care of ward and private patients, an out patient department, laboratories for the routine examina¬ tions of patients and for experimental and research work shall be provided, either by using rooms in the buildings belonging to the Society, or, if deemed requisite, by the construction of a new building or buildings. Dr. Oswald S. Lowsley, provided he is willing to serve, shall be the first Director 5 thereof and shall have supervision of the surgical, clinical and scientific work. All plans for such equipment and building as may be possible and necessary under this legacy shall be sub¬ mitted to him for his approval, should he be living; said plans shall also be submitted to my executors. “Should in the future development of surgery and medicine, such a depart¬ ment become unnecessary, I direct that this legacy shall be used by the Society of the New York Hospital for purposes as near akin to the above as practicable, always keeping this legacy as a separate and distinct fund to be known as the James Buchanan Brady Foundation and to be applied to the prosecution of hospital and research work in medicine and surgery with a view of preventing and curing diseases and of alleviating human suffering.’’ The residuum of the estate now in the possession of the New York Hospital amounts to a little over eight hundred thousand dollars in cash and securities which eventually will be increased to approximately $ 1 , 000 , 000 . Director, Dr. Oswald Swinney Lows- ley, 32 E. 65th St., New York, N. Y. BREZ FOUNDATION The Brez Foundation was incor¬ porated under the laws of the State of New York in 1917. Its purpose is to distribute in the City of New York and vicinity the income of its principal for charitable work, including hospitals, orphan asylums, relief associations, homes for the helpless and other charit¬ able institutions as donations which are decided upon and voted for by the board of directors. The Brez Founda¬ tion is self-sustaining and does not solicit any contributions. President and Treasurer, Jules Ra¬ cine, 20 W. 47th St., New York, N. Y. BROOKS-BRYCE FOUNDATION The Brooks-Bryce Movement was started in a small way about two years ago by Mrs. Brooks-Aten of New York City. She named it after her great-great-grandfather, David Brooks, a clergyman and a soldier in the Continental armies at the time the Colonies broke away from the Mother Country, and the late Lord Bryce, the author of The American Commonwealth, and formerly Am¬ bassador from the Court of St. James to this country. The object of this movement is, by means of essay contests in the second¬ ary schools throughout the English- speaking world, to impress upon the minds of the youth the fundamental and enduring reasons why Great Britain and her associated Common¬ wealths and the United States of America should be bound in under¬ standing and friendship, looking to¬ ward the peace of the world. Director General, John E. J. Fan- shawe, 19 W. 31st St., New York, N. Y. WILLIAM BUCHANAN FOUNDATION The William Buchanan Foundation was established on October 9, 1923, by Mr. William Buchanan, of Texarkana, Texas, at which time he conveyed to a Board of Trustees the sum of one million dollars. The Trust Fund and the income therefrom is to be held, used and expended by the Trustees and their successors in this Trust for charitable purposes and for the alle¬ viation of suffering and distress, and to that end the Trust Fund may be used for the establishment and main¬ tenance of charitable and benevolent activities, agencies and institutions and for the aid of such activities, agencies and institutions already es¬ tablished, or expended through such other means or agencies which, from time to time, shall seem expedient to the Trustees and their successors in this Trust. The Trust Fund and the income therefrom shall be adminis¬ tered in Bowie County, Texas, but for the benefit not only of the citizens or residents of that county, but also for the benefit of the citizens or residents of adjoining counties, as well as for the benefit of such other persons as in the judgment of the Trustees should receive the benefits of the activities or institutions established hereunder. BUREAU OF SOCIAL HYGIENE See Rockefeller Benefactions WINIFRED MASTERSON BURKE RELIEF FOUNDATION The Burke Foundation, incorpo¬ rated in 1902, was established by John M. Burke through his gifts made dur¬ ing his lifetime and the legacy derived through his will. The amount of the fund is not stated. The Deed of trust expresses the wishes of the founder as to its chief activities . . . “that the benefits of the Foundation should be reserved for intelligent and re¬ spectable men and women who, in consequence of sickness, before they have regained sufficient strength to earn their livelihood, may be in need of temporary assistance.” In the ful¬ fillment of these wishes the Founda¬ tion has erected and maintained at White Plains, N. Y., a convalescent institution of 300 beds capacity which has been in year-round operation since April, 1915, caring for 40,000 patients. A city Admission House, at 325 East 57th Street, New York City, functions broadly as a reception de¬ partment and clearing house in con¬ valescent and allied health activities. Through the Sturgis Research Fund (established by the Foundation’s presi¬ dent, Mr. Frank K. Sturgis, in 1917) and also directly, the Foundation gives aid and support to various pub¬ lic-health activities in line with its main purposes. An extensive ref¬ erence literature is available for free distribution. Secretary, Frederick H. Denman, 36 W. 44th St., New York, N. Y. Winifred Masterson Burke Relief Foun¬ dation.

(Commission for Re¬ lief in Belgium) Educational Founda¬ tion, Inc., was organized in January, 1920, to commemorate the work of the Commission for Relief in Belgium during the Great War, to assist in the extension of education in Belgium, and to promote the exchange of intel¬ lectual ideas and closer relations be¬ tween Belgium and the United States. In the furtherance of these aims, the Foundation has made grants in sup¬ port of educational institutions in Belgium, especially the Universities of Brussels and Louvain, and it regularly supports exchange fellowships and visiting professorships between the two countries. The Foundation holds invested capital of about $3,250,000. President, Herbert Hoover; Secre¬ tary, Perrin C. Galpin, 42 Broadway, New York, N. Y. CABOT FUND The Cabot Fund was created under the will of Charles M. Cabot, which was approved and allowed in Septem¬ ber, 1915. The Provisions of the will in regard to this fund are contained in Article V and are as follows:— “ I give devise bequeath and appoint a Trust Fund No. 5 to said Philip Cabot and his successors as trustee. This fund is to be of the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) to be held in trust to apply the same to such charitable uses as shall be ap¬ pointed by a board of three managers hereinafter described but always and only for such charitable uses for the public benefit as are allowed and can be sustained by law of the general character and for the general objects hereinafter described. Without in¬ tending to limit the discretion of said board by a definition I suggest as illustrating such general character and objects that said fund be used to pro¬ cure or encourage or promote the investigation and study of industrial 7 conditions in this country and in the publication of the results of such in¬ vestigation and study to the end that industrial abuses and hardships of in¬ dustrial laborers may be known and remedied. Said board of managers may in their discretion appoint and apply said fund in whole or in part directly for the charitable use or uses determined upon by them or they may appoint said fund upon trusts for such charit¬ able use or uses in whole or in part to an individual trustee or trustees or to any charitable or other corporation or body organized or to be organized for purposes which include the charitable purposes which they wish to see car¬ ried out.” Trustee, Philip Cabot, 18 Tremont St., Boston, Mass. The late Charles M. Cabot of Bos¬ ton, broker, believed that a stock¬ holder has responsibility toward the industry from which he draws his in¬ come in the same way that a citizen has responsibility toward the com¬ munity in which he lives. As a stock¬ holder of the United States Steel Cor¬ poration, roused by the findings of the Pittsburgh Survey, his first step was to exert himself to clear up Painters’ Row, a cluster of bedraggled company houses on the South Side; his second to promote the one-day-of-rest-in- seven schedule; his third to urge the elimination of the twelve-hour day. Mr. Cabot died. The war came. But he left a trust fund the first income from which has been devoted this past year to reopening by a series of investi¬ gations the question of the long day in the steel industry and the way out.— The Survey, v. 45, p. 781, March 5, 1921.

CARNEGIE CORPORATION OF NEW YORK The Carnegie Corporation of New York, the last and the greatest of the trusts established in this country by Andrew Carnegie, was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1911. Mr. Carnegie trans¬ ferred to it $125,000,000, of which the income alone may be used. It is ex¬ pected that this sum will be increased to $135,000,000 upon the settlement of Mr. Carnegie’s estate. Its charter purpose is: “to promote the advance¬ ment and diffusion of knowledge and understanding among the people of the United States by aiding technical schools, institutions of higher learning, libraries, scientific research, hero funds, useful publications, and by such other agencies and means as shall from time to time be found appropriate there¬ for.” In 1917 the charter was amended to include Canada and the British Colonies within the field of activity of the Corporation, $10,000,- 000 of the original endowment being set aside for this purpose. Since its inception, the Corporation has acted, not as an operating agency, but rather to further the work of estab¬ lished social and educational organi¬ zations. During the first ten years of its ex¬ istence, the bulk of the income of the trust was devoted to: Institutions founded by Mr. Carnegie; Public li¬ brary buildings; Colleges and uni¬ versities. A considerable modification of this distribution has taken place since 1921. While not permitting their interests to crystallize into fixed policies, the Trustees have devoted most of the income of the trust to: library service; adult education; the place of the arts in American life; scientific research and educational efforts and studies. The Constitution provides for a board of fifteen self- perpetuating trustees, of which five are ex officiis, the presidents of the five American foundations established by Mr. Carnegie.

CARNEGIE FOUNDATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING This Foundation was incorporated by act of Congress March 10, 1906, with an initial endowment of $10,000- 000, to which Mr. Carnegie added $5,000,000 in 1908 and the Carnegie Corporation added $12,000,000 in 1918. Its primary purpose is the establishment of retiring allowances for teachers in the colleges, universi¬ ties and technical schools of the United States, the Dominion of Canada and Newfoundland. A summary in the Twentieth Annual Report (1925) analyzes the distribution of $13,374,- 000, through 100 universities and colleges, in 1,274 retiring allowances and pensions for widows. In 1913 Mr. Carnegie added a Division of Educational Enquiry, for which he gave $1,250,000. The function of this 9 i Division he specified to be “ to conduct studies and to make investigations concerning universities, colleges, pro¬ fessional schools, and systems of edu¬ cation generally, to investigate prob¬ lems of education affecting the im¬ provement of educational methods, the advancement of teaching, or bet¬ terment of educational standards, and in general to investigate and to report upon those educational agencies which undertake to deal with the intellectual, social, and moral progress of man¬ kind, and to publish such results as the trustees may consider of value.” President, Henry S.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON The Carnegie Institution of Wash¬ ington was founded by Andrew Car¬ negie in January, 1902, “to encourage, in the broadest and most liberal man¬ ner, investigation, research, and dis¬ covery, and the application of knowl¬ edge to the improvement of mankind.” Mr. Carnegie’s gifts to the Institution have amounted to $22,000,000.

CARNEGIE RELIEF FUND, PITTSBURGH On the 12th of March, 1901, Mr. Carnegie set aside $4,000,000 to insure to the employees of the Carnegie com¬ panies some certain compensation in case of death, injury, old age, or in¬ capacity, coming to them in the course of their employment. This fund was merged on January 1, 1911, with a pension fund established by the United States Steel Corpora¬ tion, the joint fund bearing the title “United States Steel and Carnegie Pension Fund,” the Steel Corporation providing an additional $8,000,000, and making the total fund $12,000,000. The Carnegie Relief Fund thereupon virtually ceased to exist. Manager, United States Steel and Carnegie Pension Fund, J. B. Erskine, Oliver Bldg., Pittsburgh, Pa.

Seeks to promote international friendship and world peace through the churches. Has established through its subsidiary organization the World alliance for promoting international friendship through the churches, na¬ tional councils in twenty-eight nations including the United States. Holds annual international congress and annual All-American congress. Secretary, Rev. Henry A. Atkinson, 70 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y. INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL EDU¬ CATION Established in February, 1919, by the Carnegie Endowment for Inter¬ national Peace. Its general aim is to develop international good will by means of educational agencies and to act as a clearing house of information and advice for Americans concerning things educational in foreign countries and for foreigners concerning things educational in the United States. Director, Stephen P. Duggan, 522 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y. INSTITUTE OF ECONOMICS Founded by the Carnegie Corpora¬ tion of New York “for the purpose of assembling and interpreting the eco¬ nomic data which forms the bases of national and international policies. It is self-evident that the modern economic system has many defects, many sources of waste and friction, and that the annual avoidable eco¬ nomic losses are stupendous in amount. The Institute will endeavor through its investigations to ascertain the causes of the economic losses and, as 11 far as possible, to point the way to their elimination. The Carnegie Corporation of New York, in committing to the Trustees the administration of the endowment, over which the corporation will have no control whatsoever, has in mind a single purpose—namely, that the in¬ stitution so inaugurated shall be con¬ ducted with the sole object of ascer¬ taining the facts and of interpreting these facts for the people of the United States in the most simple and under¬ standable form. The Institute shall be administered by its Trustees with¬ out regard to the special interests of any group in the body politic, either political, social or economic.” Director, Harold G. Moulton, 26 Jackson Place, Washington, D. C. TEACHERS INSURANCE AND ANNUITY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA An Association organized by the Carnegie Foundation in 1918 and pro¬ vided in that year by the Carnegie Corporation with a capital and surplus of $1,000,000, the income from which provides for the expenses of manage¬ ment. “The purpose of the corpora¬ tion is to provide insurance and annuities for teachers and other per¬ sons employed by colleges, by uni¬ versities, or by institutions engaged primarily in educational or research work; to offer policies of a character best adapted to the needs of such per¬ sons on terms as advantageous to its policy holders as shall be practicable; and to conduct its business without profit to the corporation or to its stockholders.” At the end of 1925 the Association had written for teachers in 540 insti¬ tutions, 3,640 annuity contracts, rep¬ resenting annual annuities amounting to $5,640,290 and 3,251 life insurance contracts representing $17,450,035; 140 institutions were contributing toward annuities for their teachers.

Carter Child Help¬ ing Foundation was established in the University of Pennsylvania in Octo¬ ber, 1924, by the gift of Mrs. William T. Carter of Philadelphia endowing a Foundation to be administered by the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania through the medium of a Professorship of Child Helping, to be known as the William T. Carter Child Helping Foundation. The purposes of the Foundation, broadly stated in the deed of trust, are: “The study of the principles governing and necessary to the welfare of the child, and the proper education in those principles of those who, as parents, teachers and otherwise, are charged with or who undertake the upbringing of children and their moral and mental develop¬ ment to meet the obligations of life and discharge the duties of good citizenship.” The following are indi¬ cated as the particular methods whereby shall be sought the accom¬ plishment of the general purposes of the Foundation, and as the field of activities of such professorship, viz.: (a) Lectures and class discussions on child helping to University and Col¬ lege students and to classes for train¬ ing young men and women for the duties of parentage and for leadership in work with children, (b) Personal interviews and counsel to boys in pub¬ lic and private schools, (c) Com¬ munity surveys of child life, (d) Ad¬ dresses to Parent-Teacher Associa¬ tions, and similar groups interested in child welfare, (e) Publications, (f) Assisting public and private schools to organize systems of self-government by children, (g) Counsel and assist¬ ance to parents, guardians, and insti¬ tutional officials in the problems of individual children, (h) Organization and direction of regional conferences on child welfare, (i) Co-operating with existing agencies in the enact¬ ment and enforcement of social legisla¬ tion affecting the helping of children. The Foundation has become an in¬ tegral part of the University through its correlation with the Psychological Department and the School of Medi¬ cine in the counsel and guidance of both parents and children. The Foundation is in close contact with state and national organizations and associations for child welfare with the State Department of Public Instruc¬ tion and with outstanding individuals in the study and training of children for useful citizenship.

COFFIN FOUNDATION On May 16, 1922, Charles A. Coffin retired from the active leadership of the General Electric Company. In the same year, as an expression of appre¬ ciation of Mr. Coffin’s great work as the inspiring leader of the Company and, in fact, of the whole electrical industry, the Charles A. Coffin Foun¬ dation was established by the Direc¬ tors of the General Electric Company. A fund of $400,000 was set aside, the income from which, amounting to approximately $20,000 a year, being made available for encouraging and rewarding service in the electrical field. Prizes are awarded to employees of the General Electric Company, rec¬ ognition is given to lighting, power and railway companies for improvement in service to the public, and fellowships are given to graduate students for re¬ search work at technical schools and colleges. The Foundation is controlled and administered by a Foundation Com¬ mittee appointed by the Board. This Committee, within the limits of the purposes for which the Founda¬ tion is created, has power to change the conditions applicable to the distribu¬ tion of the fund and the amounts for each particular purpose. Secretary, W. W. Trench, Schenec¬ tady, N. Y. COMMONWEALTH FUND The Commonwealth Fund is a philanthropic foundation established “for the welfare of mankind” in 1918 13 with an initial gift amounting to approximately $17,000,000 by Mrs. Stephen V. Harkness. The donor has increased the endowment from time to time to a total of approximately $38,000,000. The Commonwealth Fund is en¬ gaged in several different lines of activity. Much of its effort has been devoted to the field of work for chil¬ dren where it is conducting two in¬ tensive programs—one in the field of child guidance or mental hygiene for children and one in the field of child health. Under the former project it has operated a number of demonstra¬ tion child guidance clinics in different parts of the country from which permanent clinics supported by the local community have resulted in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Dal¬ las, St. Louis and Memphis. At the present time it is operating demon¬ stration clinics in Cleveland and Phila¬ delphia. The Fund has also offered, largely through the New York School of Social Work, scholarships for the training of psychiatric social workers and has supported a special training clinic in this field known as the Bureau of Children’s Guidance located at 9 W. 48th St., New York. It has also financed demonstrations of visiting teacher work in thirty communities in various parts of the United States. In the field of child health, the Fund is operating four complete commun¬ ity demonstrations in Fargo, North Dakota; Marion County, Oregon; Rutherford County, Tennessee; and Athens, Clarke County, Georgia. The Fund is also operating a somewhat similar program of child health in Austria. The Fund recently established a Division of Education under which studies in Educational Research have been conducted. This Division in 1925 undertook the administration of twenty annual fellowships established by the Fund for British graduate stu¬ dents. The selection of these fellows is in charge of a British Committee of Award of which H. R. H. the Prince of Wales is the Honorary Chairman. The most recent activity of the Fund has been the establishment of a Division of Rural Hospitals which gives assistance in erecting hospitals in two rural communities each year. The general purpose of this plan is to assist in improving conditions of medi¬ cal practice and health conditions in the various communities to be reached. This activity was established in 1926. In addition, the Fund reserves a small portion of its income for the pur¬ pose of making appropriations in re¬ sponse to miscellaneous appeals. Pro¬ jects assisted may be in any field of educational, scientific or philanthropic work and the number of grants made for such purposes averages about twenty per annum. General Director, Barry C.

Conners, publisher of the Buffalo Courier and Star, has set aside $1,000,000 for a Charity fund to be known as the Conners Founda¬ tion. Its object is “ relief without red tape” of needy persons and families of Buffalo. No line of creed, race or other classification will be drawn. The Fund will be managed by a board of six trustees—two Catholics, two Protestants and two Jews. OSCAR C. DAVIS FOUNDATION See Amy D. Pratt and Oscar C. Davis Foundation HENRY P. DAVISON SCHOLARSHIP FUND Established by Mrs. Henry P. Davison, in 1923, in memory of her husband and its object is to aid in fostering good will between the United States and Great Britain, and rec¬ ognizing that mutual understanding is the essence of such good will. The income from the fund, the amount of which was not made known, is to be devoted to defraying the ex¬ penses of six English students who will pass at least one year as under¬ graduates in Harvard, Yale and Princeton universities, which have consented to co-operate with the fund and furnish the visiting scholars free tuition. 14 Wall St., New York, N. Y. THE DUKE ENDOWMENT In December, 1924, Mr. James B. Duke placed securities valued at $40,000,000 in a trust fund to be ad¬ ministered by a board of trustees for educational and charitable purposes in the states of North and South Carolina. The indenture of trust pro¬ vided for the establishment in North Carolina of an institution of learning to be known as Duke University. Mr. Duke also directed that in case the trustees of Trinity College should decide to amend their charter and expand Trinity into an institution under the name of Duke University, the College at Durham should be the beneficiary of the provisions above stated. On December 29, 1924, the Trustees of Trinity College voted unanimously to accept the terms of the indenture of trust, and on December 30, the legal formalities were com¬ pleted under which Trinity College became Duke University. By the terms of Mr. Duke’s will $7,000,000 was added to the building fund. In addition $4,000,000 was given for buildings for a Medical School, and $6,000,000 to the endowment of the University. Of his residuary estate 90% is to go to the Hospital fund and 10% to the Duke University. “The indenture which creates Duke University provides also for hospitals, for orphans, for the higher education of white and colored youth, and it is a peculiar satisfaction to us to have this institution associated in this way with these undertakings for the promotion of the physical, intellectual, and moral well-being of men.” EASTMAN MEMORIAL FOUNDATION Created by Lauren C. Eastman in memory of his grandson, Lauren East¬ man Rogers. Its objects and purposes are the advancement of learning and of the arts and sciences, and the pro¬ motion of the public welfare by such means and through the furnishing of such facilities as, from time to time, may be devised and lawfully employed including (but without limiting in any manner the future ultimate scope of the institution appropriate to its ob¬ jects and purposes as broadly stated above) the operation, and/or the furnishing of facilities for the opera¬ tion of others, of a library, the collec¬ tion and exhibition of books, pictures, sculptures, curios and other objects, the issuance of publications, and, through lectures, exhibitions and oth¬ erwise, the dissemination of informa¬ tion. President, S. M. Jones; Secretary, Charles Green, Laurel, Miss. ECONOMIC FOUNDATION The Economic Foundation has been organized to further impartial investi¬ gation in the field of economic, social and industrial science. The Foundation will act as a trust fund for donations made by persons who desire to have a group of im¬ partial and scientific-minded men seek the important facts of social, economic and industrial problems. Under the plan of organization the trustees were chosen to represent vari¬ ous economic viewpoints, including banking, organized labor, manufac¬ turing, the legal profession, academic interests, agriculture and movements for social and economic reform. The inauguration of the foundation was said to be the first move in the direction of creating a permanent fund for impartial investigation in this field and the primary beneficiary is to be the National Bureau of Economic Research. “The purpose of the Economic Foundation is not to provide economic cure-alls, not to indulge in propaganda nor to attempt to make the world over in a day, but simply and solely to bring together a group of impartial and scientific-minded men who shall be charged with the duty of seeing that the funds of the Foundation are applied year after year through the National Bureau, or otherwise if cir¬ cumstances require, in bringing the searchlight of scientifically deter¬ mined facts to bear upon our social, economic and industrial problems.” Secretary, Nicholas Kelley, 80 Broadway, New York, N. Y. THOMAS J. EMERY MEMORIAL Incorporated as a non-profit cor¬ poration under the laws of Ohio by Mrs. Mary Muhlenberg Emery to perpetuate the name of her husband. Object of the Memorial as given in the articles of incorporation—“To bring about the physical, social, civic and educational betterment on hu¬ manitarian lines of residents of the United States and preferably of those residing in the State of Ohio; to take such steps as shall be calculated to produce a citizenry which shall be more sane, sound and effective because of more satisfactory conditions of environment and education; to im¬ prove the physical, mental and moral condition of humanity, and generally to advance charitable and benevolent objects.” President, Charles J. Livingood, 2766 Baker Place, Cincinnati, Ohio; Secretary, Thomas Hogan, care of Thomas Emery’s Sons, 115 E. 4th St., Cincinnati, Ohio. ENGINEERING FOUNDATION Engineering Foundation is the joint organization for research and closely related activities established by the four senior national societies of Civil, Mining & Metallurgical, Mechanical and Electrical engineers, known jointly as the Founder Societies. It origi¬ nated in a purpose long entertained by Ambrose Swasey, of Cleveland, Ohio, and a gift of $200,000 by him in 1914, as the nucleus of a great endowment “for the furtherance of research in science and in engineering, or for the advancement in any other manner of the profession of engineering and the good of mankind.” Engineering Foundation funds and other trusts are owned and adminis¬ tered by United Engineering Society, as the trustee of the Founder Societies. It was incorporated by special Act, Chapter 703 of the Laws of New York, May 11, 1904. Engineering Founda¬ tion Board is a department of United Engineering Society and has discre¬ tionary power in disposition of income from the endowment and of other funds for current expenditure, but no voice in the administration of the en¬ dowment principal. The Foundation acts also as treasurer for co-operative researches. For several years the Foundation has helped to bring about the use of approximately one hundred thousand dollars of contributed funds as an annual average. In addition contributions of services, equipment and materials have been made by in¬ dividuals and organizations which would have cost a large sum if com¬ pensated. The Foundation has been favored with the co-operation of in¬ dustries, societies of engineers and scientists, engineering and construct¬ ing firms, governmental departments, universities and engineering colleges, groups of bankers, power companies, and many individuals. It is a research foundation, an institution of higher learning, seeking additional knowl¬ edge to improve practise and instruc¬ tion in engineering. Engineering Foundation aided in establishing the National Research Council, and later, its Division of Engineering and Industrial Research, Personnel Research Federation, Inc., American Bureau of Welding and the Highway Research Board, and co¬ operated with the Council in the Fa¬ tigue of Metals Research, Marine Piling Investigation and other pro¬ jects.

THE ENGINEERING-ECONOMICS FOUNDATION The Engineering-Economics Foun¬ dation, a post-graduate college con¬ cerned with Public Health, uses Re¬ search and Teaching to minimize the paralyzing effect of emergency on the normal actions on which life and well¬ being in the complex modern city depend. The Foundation conducts research on man as endangered by blizzard, con¬ flagration, earthquake, famine, flood, pestilence and tornado. It organizes knowledge of all means of protecting man against the destructive forces of these emergencies. The Foundation teaches health offi¬ cers, business executives and citizens to know the dangers of emergency and to use existing means of protection. President, Hollis Godfrey, 3 Joy St., Boston, Mass. ALICE MANDELICK FLAGLER FOUNDATION The particular objects of the Alice Mandelick Flagler Foundation are as follows: “To receive, maintain and dispose of a fund or funds and to apply the income and principal thereof, in part or in whole, to relieve poverty, sick¬ ness and infirmity and to eradicate their causes, and in connection there¬ with to encourage the training of nurses and to promote their comfort and welfare; and to use as a means to those ends research, publication, the establishment and maintenance of homes for training schools for nurses, clubs for nurses, and the aid and as¬ sistance of any such activities, agen¬ cies and institutions, as well as of hospitals, infirmaries, dispensaries and medical and educational institutions already established or hereafter to be established; and also to use any other means and agencies which from time to time shall seem expedient to the members or trustees of the corpora¬ tion.” The Foundation has been recently incorporated and has as yet received no funds. It is not now, therefore, in a position to entertain applications for funds. President, Edward W. Sheldon; Sec¬ retary, Miss Helen C. Miller, 129 E. 52nd St., New York, N. Y. CARL FORSTMANN MEMORIAL FOUNDATION “The Carl Forstmann Memorial Foundation has been incorporated under the laws of New Jersey with an initial capital of $250,000, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Forstmann in memory of their son, Carl Edward Forstmann. The primary purpose is to assist boys and young men of ability, char¬ acter and promise, whose financial circumstances make impossible the proper development of their powers and ambitions, to attain, through such assistance, a large measure of self- realization and social usefulness. Grants of assistance are to be of two kinds, awards and loans, and are to be made always for the achievement of specific purposes. An award is to be given outright and the recipient is under no obligation to return any part of the money furnished unless he chooses to do so. In the case of a loan, the recipient is expected to return the amount received when he is able.” President, Julius Forstmann; Secre¬ tary, Robert M. Reinhold, 2 Barbour Ave., Passaic, N. J. i FRANKLIN FOUNDATION Maintains Franklin Union, a tech¬ nical institute, established through a bequest made by Benjamin Franklin over a century ago. Franklin be¬ queathed the sum of one thousand pounds sterling to the city of Boston which was to be loaned at 5 per cent to aid young “married artificers” in starting business and which at the end of one hundred years was to be divided, a portion being continued at interest for a second century, and a portion being expended in '‘public works which may be judged of most general utility to the inhabitants.” An industrial school and technical in¬ stitute seemed of the most general utility and the building and equip¬ ment of Franklin Union is the result of this bequest. The land was provided by the city and Mr. Andrew Carnegie donated the first maintenance fund. Since the opening in September, 1908, over 20,000 men and women have enrolled as students.

The Edwin Gould Foundation for Children was incorporated March 7, 1923, by special act of the Legislature of the State of New York for the pur¬ pose as set forth in such act of “re¬ ceiving and maintaining a fund or funds and applying the income and principal thereof to promote the wel¬ fare of children in the state of New York and elsewhere throughout the United States of America and to pro¬ mote and improve social and living conditions in the United States of America.” The Policy of the Foundation is to give direct present aid to the normal, dependent white child and to develop the individuality and personality along the lines best fitted for its maintenance and to avoid the repressed so-called Institutional type. The Object of the Foundation is to re-establish each child in its own family circle or to place it in a family suited to the child or in a self-support¬ ing life. A Clearing Bureau is established through which all children pass the quarantine period. They are distrib¬ uted to the Institutions affiliated with the Foundation or to the Institu¬ tions clearing through its Bureau. Each child carries with it the record of examination, tests and observation giving as fully as possible the moral background and the child’s physical and mental condition. These reports are for the guidance of those who take on the responsibility of the child. In 1925 there were 1,050 children distributed through the Bureau to 30 Institutions and to the families. The following are established and operated by the Foundation: Clearing Bureau. Pelham Parkway No. and Stillwell Avenue, Bronx, New York City. For 185 children with an average stay of 30 days. Annual turnover about 2,200. Camp Gould South. Spring Valley, New York. For 100 girls for the summer. Camp Gould North. Summit Park, New York. For 400 girls and boys for sum¬ mer. Camp Gould Bronx. Pelham Parkway No. Bronx, N. Y. C. For 100 boys and girls for the summer. Cherry Tree Farm. Spring Valley, New York. Operated in connection with the Lakeside School and Camp Gould South. The following are Institutions to which the Foundation has furnished land, buildings and equipment: Gould Club. 94, 99, 100 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, New York. For 70 older girls in business. Continuous. Baiting Hollow Camp. Baiting Hollow, Long Island. For 150 boys for the summer. Traveler’s Aid Society. 142-144 East 44th Street and 139 East 43d Street, N. Y. C. Scholarships. Are provided in seven colleges and trade schools for those showing particular development among the older children coming under observation in the different Institutions. President, Mrs. George F. Shrady; Vice-President and Secretary, Ed¬ mund G. Vaughan, 598 Madison Ave., New York, N. Y. JOHN SIMON GUGGENHEIM MEMORIAL FOUNDATION Founded by Mr. and Mrs. Simon Guggenheim in memory of their son and incorporated by special act of the Legislature of the State of New York on March 16, 1925. To promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and under¬ standing, and the appreciation of beauty, by aiding without distinction on account of race, color or creed, scholars, scientists and artists of either sex in the prosecution of their labors and by such other lawful means as the trustees shall from time to time deem appropriate. In his Letter of Gift addressed to the Trustees of the Foundation, Senator Guggenheim said: . . . It is Mrs. Guggenheim’s and my desire, in memory of our son, through the agency of this Founda¬ tion, to add to the educational, liter¬ ary, artistic and scientific power of this country, and also to provide for the cause of better international un¬ derstanding. Our thought was that the income of the fund devoted to these purposes should be used to pro¬ vide opportunities for both men and women to carry on advanced study in any field of knowledge, or in any of the fine arts, including music; and that systematic arrangements should be made to assure these opportunities under the freest possible conditions, and to make available for the public benefit the results of such studies. Believing as we do that such oppor¬ tunities may be found in every coun¬ try of the world, we purposely make no specification of locality, domestic or foreign, for the pursuit of these aims. . . .” Secretary, Henry Allen Moe, 2300 Pershing Square Bldg., New York, N. Y. HARMON FOUNDATION, INC. The Harmon Foundation was incor¬ porated under the Membership Laws of the State of New York in February, 1922, for charitable and humanitarian purposes, and to promote the well¬ being of mankind throughout the United States. It is primarily inter¬ ested in the application of business methods which will advance efficiency in educational, community and phil¬ anthropic work. The Foundation operates on the principle that a gift of service is of more lasting benefit than a donation of money which involves no corre¬ sponding exercise of initiative or responsibility on the part of the in¬ dividual or group receiving the benefit. Except in the limited financing of practical programs which are directed toward ultimate self-support, it is the purpose of the Foundation to assist in working out constructive plans, rather than give toward an immediate de¬ mand which may later prove to be of temporary value only and not a real solution of the difficulty. The work of the Foundation is divided into four main departments: The Division of Student Loans; The Division of Playgrounds; The Divi¬ sion of Awards for Constructive and Creative Achievement; The Division of Social Research and Experimenta¬ tion. In the Division of Student Loans, the Foundation is engaged in an ex¬ periment of making business loans to college students with character and group responsibility as the basis of credit without the usual forms of com¬ mercial collateral. The four principal features of the plan are: careful selec¬ tion of risks through the loan commit¬ tee in each affiliated college; install¬ ment form of repayment beginning one year after graduation; strict follow-up; mutual or group guarantee as the protection against loss. Not more than $250 is loaned to a student in a given year and the total loans may not exceed $500. In the Division of Playgrounds the Foundation is endeavoring to arouse national interest in the permanent playground movement, by assisting small, rapidly growing towns and cities to secure suitable land while costs are still low. Titles are vested in the Town Council or Board of Educa¬ tion and dedicated in perpetuity for recreation uses. In the Division of Awards for Con¬ structive and Creative Achievement the Foundation hopes to stimulate worthwhile production in the fields of art, industry, social and philanthropic endeavor, through bringing to wider attention outstanding accomplish¬ ments not now receiving public rec¬ ognition. This part of the Founda¬ tion’s activities is carried on by organizations functioning in the fields it is desired to cover. The Division of Social Research and Experimentation is concerned with activities in which the Foundation becomes interested which have not yet been developed sufficiently to deter¬ mine whether or not it is desirable to carry them on in a larger way.

HARTLEY CORPORATION The Hartley Corporation was or¬ ganized by special act of the Connecti¬ cut legislature of 1921. The object to be attained by its organization was to perpetuate the gifts of Helen Hartley Jenkins of New York City beyond her life time and to work out a system of giving which would accomplish certain policies which Mrs. Jenkins had in mind. These policies may be broadly stated by saying that the Corporation’s policy is to give for experimental work along new lines of educational and charitable endeavor. The Corporation is not one which is giving large sums of money for build¬ ings or for educational endowments or anything of that kind, but it is pro¬ moting certain lines of work, such as the conduct of a clinic for the exami¬ nation of defective children in Hartford for the State of Connecticut, the or¬ ganization of a conference regarding accidents in traffic at Yale, the man¬ agement and support of Hartley House which is a settlement house in New York City, the management and sup¬ port of certain experimental work in the Marcellus Hartley Laboratory in Columbia University, which is doing experimental work with radio tele¬ phones, controls, etc. It has made gifts to Columbia University for Teachers College, which was founded and is maintained largely by Mrs. Jenkins through the Corporation. There are also a number of other activities now on the program of the Corporation. President, Mrs. Helen Hartley Jen¬ kins; Secretary, Robbins B. Stoeckel, Norfolk, Conn. HAVENS RELIEF FUND SOCIETY This Society, incorporated in 1870, administers an endowment received from Charles G. Havens.

SAMUEL AND HENRIETTE HECHT FOUNDATION Mr. Israel Hecht, of Philadelphia, provided in his will that his estate, after the death of Mrs. Hecht, is to be administered as the Samuel and Henriette Hecht Foundation to fur¬ nish free coal to the poor. The foundation is designed as a memorial to his parents. The trustees are given sweeping powers in administering the founda¬ tion and they are given the discretion to practice other forms of philan¬ thropy. The will states that “no worthy poor family shall be denied its benefits by reason of any discrimina¬ tion because of race, creed, color or nationality.” From article in Herald- Tribune, July 10, 1926. HECKSCHER FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN The Heckscher Foundation for Chil¬ dren was incorporated by special act of Legislature in 1921 (Chapter 73) and the stated purpose is “the receiv¬ ing and maintaining a fund or funds and applying the income, and/or principal thereof, to promote the wel- fare of children in the State of New York and elsewhere throughout the United States of America.” This was the gift of Mr. and Mrs. August Heckscher, through whose munificence a new building has been erected on the block front, from 104th to 105th Streets and Fifth Avenue. The entire structure is given over to the work of child protection and welfare, and the activities now in full operation com¬ prise a swimming pool, gymnasium, out-door and in-door playgrounds, manual and musical training, includ¬ ing a printery, a children’s theatre equipped in every detail, and any other activity that may promote the happiness of such children as have been in need of it most. The Foundation, which has hereto¬ fore functioned in conjunction with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, has been segre¬ gated and now addresses itself pri¬ marily to the care of very small chil¬ dren abandoned by their parents or whose mothers are unable to protect them temporarily. It has also by agreement with the New York Infantorium allotted space to the latter which addresses itself to the care of very small undernourished and undeveloped children, thus saving many lives. The activities of the Foundation in respect of clubs, printing office facili¬ ties, vocational training, swimming pool, gymnasium and corrective gym¬ nasium are functioning normally but not by any means to capacity. The Theatre is in charge of Mrs. Major and is constantly used mainly in the interest of and for the children of New York, largely for vocational training, partly for lectures and ama¬ teur theatricals. The building needs to be better known and to be more generally used. General Manager, Victor Desbor- ough, 1 E. 104th St., New York, N. Y. New York (City).

Hershey and his wife gave title to a tract of 486 acres just outside the town of Hershey to establish the Hershey Industrial School. It is understood that Mr. Hershey has since then turned over in trust all of his holdings amounting to approximately $40,000,000. The Hershey Industrial School is to be a “ permanent, non-sectarian insti¬ tution for the residence, physical and moral welfare, maintenance, support and education of poor, healthy, white, male orphans (an orphan being a child whose father is deceased) admitted be¬ tween the ages of four and eight years, for their instruction in useful trades and occupations, and to make pro¬ vision for their further education, be¬ fore or after their arrival at the age of eighteen years, at some other school, college, or university, . . . bear¬ ing in mind that the main object in view is to train young men to useful trades and occupations, so that they can earn their own livelihood.” Trustee, Hershey Trust Company, Hershey, Pa. BARON DE HIRSCH FUND The Baron de Hirsch Fund was or¬ ganized March 13, 1890, and was incorporated February 12, 1891, under the New York Membership Corpora¬ tions law. The endowment fund, given by the Baron and Baroness de Hirsch, amounts now to $3,800,000, to be used for the aid of resident Jewish immigrants. Its activities are (1) promotion of agricultural instruc¬ tion through subsidies to the National Farm School at Doylestown, Pa., and the granting of scholarships to Jewish young men at the State Institute of Applied Agriculture at Farmingdale, Long Island, N. Y., and other state schools; these are substitutes for the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School, maintained by the Fund for many years at Woodbine, N. J.; (2) aid to agriculturalists by way of selection of farm loans and loans on real or chattel security through the Jewish Agricul¬ tural Society; (3) Baron de Hirsch Trade School, New York City; (4) Immigrant aid port work through subsidized societies located in New York and Baltimore; (5) the Wood¬ bine Land & Improvement Company which founded Woodbine, N. J., is a subsidiary organization. The Fund has, latterly, concentrated more on trade and agricultural instruction and extensive aid to farmers, and given up some of its pioneer Americanization work and charitable pecuniary aid, as local communities and the State and its agencies have taken over work formerly done by it.

LAURA SPELMAN ROCKEFELLER MEMORIAL See Rockefeller Benefactions EMANUEL LEHMAN FOUNDATION The Emanuel Lehman Foundation was established December 31, 1907, by the children of the late Emanuel Lehman, Philip Lehman, Harriet Lehman and Evelyn L. Ehrich. The late Emanuel Lehman had expressed a desire to celebrate his 80th birthday by a gift for charitable purposes and had directed the purchase of the premises known as 155, 157 and 159 Henry Street, intending to erect thereon a building designed for the use of crippled children, but he died in January, 1907, before his purposes were achieved. The Foundation was incorporated under the laws of New York on December 31, 1907: “To acquire and take by grant, de¬ vise or bequest, and to hold and man¬ age in trust and in perpetuity or otherwise, real and personal property, or either, for the maintenance of a school for the education of crippled children, or for any charitable or benevolent or educational purpose, or for two or more such purposes; to maintain and carry on a school for the education of crippled children, and to carry on any charitable, benevolent or educational purpose for which a cor¬ poration may be created under Article II of the Membership Corporation Law, and to do all things necessary or convenient and lawful in the premises. The territory in which its operations are to be principally conducted, is the Borough of Manhattan.” In 1908 the Emanuel Lehman Foundation conveyed to the Crippled Children’s East Side Free School, the free and unrestricted use and control of the premises 155, 157 and 159 Henry Street, New York City, on which there was newly erected a school building with a roof playground, for the education, instruction, medical and surgical treatment of crippled children. The average daily atten¬ dance for 1925 including the workroom was 234. There was also provided a country home at Oakhurst, New Jersey, accom¬ modating 130, where children may remain from three to ten weeks during the summer. The total sum of the gifts of the Emanuel Lehman Founda¬ tion approximates $300,000. The institution is an entirely non-sectarian school. President, Philip Lehman, 16 Wil¬ liam St., New York, N. Y. HENRY M. LEIPZIGER MEMORIAL FOUNDATION This Memorial lectureship was created by the gift of $10,000 which was in part a bequest of Dr. Leip- ziger’s and in part given by his family. The League of Political Education is the trustee of this fund and is to arrange one or more lectures each year on some subject related to the ad¬ vancement of American institutions and ideals. Director, Robert E. Ely, 123 W, 43d. St., New York, N. Y. JACOB L. LOOSE MILLION DOLLAR CHARITY FUND ASSOCIATION Mr. Jacob L.

Loose the sum of five thousand ($5,000) shall be paid to the Jacob L. Loose Million Dollar Charity Fund Associa¬ tion. Upon her death the entire in¬ come is to be received by the associa¬ tion, and “shall be by it used for the purpose of relieving personal distress and sickness among the poor and needy of Kansas City, Missouri, espe¬ cially among children, such as to assist in providing food, fresh milk, free ice, medical aid and surgical attention, and the like. The method of distribution of said fund and the determination of the persons who are within the object of the trust are left to the judgment of said directors or committee of said charity trust fund.” President, Judge Arba S. Van Val- kenburgh; Secretary, W. Scott Bates, Kansas City, Mo. ELIZABETH McCORMICK MEMORIAL FUND The Elizabeth McCormick Memor¬ ial Fund was established May 20, 1908, by Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Hall McCormick, of Chicago, in memory of their daughter Elizabeth, who died January 25, 1905, at the age of twelve years, the object of the organization being “to improve the condition of child life in the United States.” Four Trustees were asked to join Mr. and Mrs. McCormick in administering the fund and in deciding questions of policy. Later, the Board of Trustees was increased to eight members. On June 10, 1913, the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund was in¬ corporated under the laws of the State of Illinois, the object as then stated being “to engage in such works of public charity as may from time to time appear to the Board of Trustees to be most urgently needed; to pre¬ vent or to ameliorate suffering, dis¬ ease, poverty and crime; to promote education; to establish, promote or assist any agency designed to improve the conditions of human society and especially to study the conditions of child life and to take such measures from time to time as may promise to promote the health, happiness and general welfare of children.” The Fund’s work has included con¬ structive efforts to reduce infant mortality; the establishment and maintenance of open air schools in Chicago and propaganda for the estab¬ lishment of such schools in other com¬ munities; the promotion of state and national legislation to better condi¬ tions for children; studies of the problem of malnutrition among chil¬ dren; experiments in school systems in order to develop a program of health education; the securing of data on the physical and mental condition of school children. In 1919-20 the Fund conducted the Children’s Year Cam¬ paign in Illinois. The Fund conducts nutrition and health classes and co-operates with social agencies and institutions in establishing standards for the physical care and welfare of children. It pro¬ vides continuous health supervision for children referred by the Pension Department of the Juvenile Court and the United Charities, and co-operates with the United Charities in the nutri¬ tion program of a summer camp. One division is devoted to work with the pre-school child, including a program for the physical care of children in certain day nurseries, and a co-opera¬ tive program with other agencies in a nursery school. The Fund’s plans include a variety of methods for the education of parents in child care. The Fund maintains a Speakers’ Bureau, through which speakers may be secured for single lectures or for courses, and a Child Welfare Library. The services of the trained librarian are available for bibliographical and ref¬ erence work. The Fund also acts as a distributing center for child welfare publications and loans exhibit mate¬ rial on child health subjects. The loan material includes a comprehensive child health exhibit which is sent out only under the charge of a member of the staff of the Fund. Director, Mary E. Murphy, 848 North Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. alice McDermott memorial FUND Established in memory of the daugh¬ ter of Mrs. Josephine McDermott of Seattle, Washington. The terms of the will specify that the fund of $100,000 shall be used by the Univer¬ sity of Washington for one or both of two purposes: “first, research work in or in connection with said univer¬ sity tending to promote the prevention or cure of tuberculosis; second, the purchase of radium, and research work in connection with and actual use of same in the treatment of disease.” No definite plans have been made as to the exact direction the research is to take, but doubtless it will be co-ordi¬ nated with the work that is being done in other foundations in order that duplication may be avoided. University of Washington, Seattle, Wash. MARSH FOUNDATION Mr. George H. Marsh left a bequest of several millions of dollars to estab¬ lish a trust fund to be known as the Marsh Foundation. Under the terms of the will a school and home in Van Wert County, Ohio, was to be estab¬ lished and maintained for: “First, the benefit of orphan and other children, residents of said county; Second, the benefit of orphan and other children, residents of other counties of Northwestern Ohio, who, by reason of misfortune or for any other cause, are denied the oppor¬ tunity to secure home training, educa¬ tion and instruction as hereinafter provided for; and, Third, the benefit, if the income and capacity of the school warrant, of such other children as may be received into the school alone, who may not be dependent upon the Foundation for a home. Van Wert County pupils shall al¬ ways be given preference in matters of admission.” Director of the School, R. R. Reeder, Ph.D., Van Wert, Ohio. MILBANK MEMORIAL FUND The Milbank Memorial Fund was established and endowed by Mrs. Elizabeth Milbank Anderson as a me¬ morial to her mother and father. It was incorporated under the Member¬ ship Corporations Law of the State of New York on April 3, 1905, under the name of “The Memorial Fund Asso¬ ciation.” Shortly after Mrs. Ander¬ son’s death, which occurred on Feb¬ ruary 22, 1921, pursuant to request expressed in her will, the name was changed to the Milbank Memorial Fund. The following quotation from the statement of purposes in the cer¬ tificate of incorporation indicates the broad scope of this foundation: “to improve the physical, mental and moral condition of humanity, and generally to advance charitable and benevolent objects.” The wide range of the philanthropic work carried on by Mrs. Anderson as an individual for many years was in¬ creasingly and independently assumed during her lifetime by this Fund. While not crystallizing its interests into fixed policies, this Fund has shown a clear tendency to devote a large part of its income to child welfare and pub¬ lic health work, including mental hygiene. The Milbank Memorial Fund is not an operating agency, but works through recognized organizations, either in re¬ sponse to requests for support or by a discriminating selection of organiza¬ tions which the Directors feel are best 27 qualified to carry out the aims and purposes of the Fund. Its major work is a series of health demonstrations, the aim of which is to ascertain the effectiveness and cost of certain health measures, the preven¬ tion of unnecessary disease, and the promotion of individual and commu¬ nity health in typical American com¬ munities. In general the work is mod¬ elled on the Home Hospital demon¬ stration, which has been financed largely by the Milbank Memorial Fund and carried on by the New York Association for Improving the Condi¬ tion of the Poor, and the Community Health and Tuberculosis Demonstra¬ tion of the National Tuberculosis Association in Framingham, Mass. The communities selected as demon¬ stration centers are: (1) Cattaraugus County, with a population, truly rural, of approxi¬ mately 74,000. (2) Syracuse, a city of approxi¬ mately 188,000. (3) Bellevue-Yorkville District of New York City, with a population of approximately 175,000. These demonstrations are under the general supervision of an Advisory Council of Experts and a Technical Board, both created by and responsi¬ ble to the Board of Directors of the Milbank Memorial Fund. The Fund, however, will not itself undertake the responsibility for operation. It will operate through the local public health authorities and recognized vol¬ untary health and social agencies.

The Society of The Musicians’ Foundation, Inc., established by The Bohemians, New York Musicians’ Club, has completed the ninth year of its work. The objects for which the corporation has been formed are to foster the interests and advance the condition of and give social assistance to professional musicians and their families in case of need, all in such manner as may be provided by the laws of the State of New York or the United States of America. The ideal of this society is a high one both as regards attainment and obligation. The affairs are managed without any overhead expenses. Every dollar collected is added to the capital and invested in first mortgage bonds. The Farmers’ Loan and Trust Com¬ pany is the custodian of the fund. Only the income of this fund is em¬ ployed for purposes of relief. The Musicians’ Foundation was in¬ corporated November 14, 1914. Since then assistance has been rendered to aged musicians, to the sick, to families of deceased musicians and money has been advanced without interest charges to help musicians over periods of non¬ employment, etc. Besides voluntary contributions from 28 various sources the Musicians’ Foun¬ dation has received valuable acces¬ sions from the proceeds of concerts given for its benefit.

The amount of the Fund is about $1,000,000, bequeathed by Miss Caroline Phelps Stokes, the interest and net income to be used for various philanthropic purposes.

The report of the Commis¬ sion which made the study entitled “Education in Africa” was published in the fall of 1922; (6) in accordance with the expressed wish of the British colonial office and the further co¬ operation of foreign mission societies of Europe and the Colonial Govern¬ ment, a similar study of East Africa was undertaken in 1923-24. The report of this second Commission en¬ titled “ Education in East Africa, ” was published in 1925. In 1921-22 a tenement house was erected in 97th Street (New York City) for the purpose of demonstrating that comfortable, sanitary housing could be built and operated on sound business principles in New York City for fami¬ lies with moderate incomes at monthly rentals between $9.00 and $12.00 a room.

THE RELIGIOUS MOTION PICTURE FOUNDATION, INC. Financed by an appropriation of $50,000 on the part of William E. Harmon for the initial experimental work, the Religious Motion Picture Foundation was incorporated in June, 1925. This fund is being used to make a few short demonstration pictures of a truly religious character to be used as part of a service of worship. It is hoped that the vitality and appeal of these pictures will be such as to in¬ crease church attendance. President, William E. Harmon; Technical Director, Herbert M. Daw- ley, 140 Nassau St., New York, N. Y. E. O. ROBINSON MOUNTAIN FUND Mr. E. O. Robinson of Newport, Kentucky, executed a deed of trust some two years ago, in which he set apart and delivered to the trustee, Fidelity & Columbia Trust Co. of Louisville, Kentucky, securities of the value of one million dollars approxi¬ mately. At the time of the execution of this deed of trust Mr. Robinson caused to be incorporated the E. O. Robinson Mountain Fund. In the deed of trust it is provided that upon the death of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson this entire trust fund be turned over to the E. O. Robinson Mountain Fund. The object of the Mountain Fund, as stated in the articles of incor¬ poration, is to help the people and particularly the youth of the moun¬ tain region and particularly in Eastern Kentucky, to attain a better condition of living and better understanding thereof. It contemplates vocational education and could include academic instruction also. In addition to this fund Mr. Robinson conveyed some fifteen thousand acres of land located in the counties of Breathitt, Perry and Knott in Kentucky. The principal part of the timber had been cut from this land. Such mineral deposits as it might have were reserved. The pur¬ pose was to establish a school of forestry. This has been worked out with the University of Kentucky, and the land has been conveyed to the University for that purpose, as well as for farm experimental work, horticul¬ ture, etc. The Legislature of Ken¬ tucky of 1924, appropriated twenty- five thousand dollars a year, and the session of 1926 continued the appro¬ priation for the ensuing two years for the reforestry work, as well as for farm demonstration on these prop¬ erties.

Rockefeller, Jr., in 1912, and incorporated in 1913 for the “study, amelioration and prevention of those social conditions, crimes and diseases which adversely affect the well-being of society, with special reference to prostitution and the evils associated therewith.” The Bureau has made important investigations on these sub¬ jects. It also maintained for six years a laboratory of social hygiene at the New York State Reformatory for Women at Bedford, N. Y., and has issued several books and pamphlets giving results of that work.

LAURA SPELMAN ROCKEFELLER MEMORIAL The Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial was founded in October, 33 1918, by John D. Rockefeller, in memory of his wife, Laura Spelman Rockefeller. The Memorial is incorporated for general charitable and philanthropic purposes, and is not limited geograph¬ ically in its field of operations. The principal of the fund (approximately $73,000,000), as well as its income, may be used by the Trustees in for¬ warding its humanitarian activities. The Trustees of the Memorial, keeping in mind the purposes for which the fund was created, have sup¬ ported the work of a number of organizations in the fields of social welfare and social betterment. Con¬ sonant with this, they have sought to support the development of the social sciences generally, regarding the knowledge thus derived as desirable in itself and as providing criteria useful to the Memorial in the determination of its further development. The social sciences, such as sociology, economics, political science, history, psychology and ethnology, considered both in¬ dividually and as parts of a single larger field of knowledge, have been encouraged through fellowships, visit¬ ing professors, and support to aca¬ demic and research institutions. Prob¬ lems in the fields of child development, child guidance and parent education, mental and social hygiene, and of in¬ terracial relations may be mentioned as having received special attention. Director, Beardsley Ruml; Secre¬ tary, Willard S. Richardson, 61 Broad¬ way, New York, N. Y. ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION The Rockefeller Foundation was in¬ corporated under the laws of New York, May 14, 1913. It was chart¬ ered “to promote the well-being of mankind throughout the world,” to provide an agency which shall deal with problems of human welfare in accordance with the principles and methods most approved in each generation. The general fund of the Foundation is approximately $165,000,000, both the income and principal of which are available for appropriation. The Foundation has devoted its attention and its funds for the most part to large comprehensive programs whose aims are: (a) to eradicate cer¬ tain causes of human ill and to build up positive programs for bettering conditions and (b) to make demon¬ strations in various fields and to inau¬ gurate helpful work, responsibility for which may later be assumed by that portion of the public most intimately concerned. The Foundation has undertaken particularly work in public health, medical education and the biological sciences. It carries on its principal activities through its departmental organizations. The International Health Board, Dr. F. F. Russell, General Director; for co-operation with governmental agencies for promotion of public sani¬ tation and the spread of the knowl¬ edge of hygiene.

ROCKEFELLER INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH The objects of the Institute, founded in 1901, are “to conduct, assist, and encourage investigations in the sci¬ ences and arts of hygiene, medicine and surgery, and allied subjects, in the nature and causes of disease and the methods of its prevention and treat¬ ment, and to make knowledge relating to these various subjects available for the protection of the health of the public and the improved treatment of disease and injury/' The Institute has been generously endowed by Mr. John D. Rockefeller by a series of gifts which have from time to time capital¬ ized its growing needs. Its property is in charge of a Board of Trustees; a Board of Scientific Directors has super¬ vision of its scientific work. The Institute maintains a series of lab¬ oratories and a hospital at 66th Street and Avenue A, New York City, and a Department of Animal Pathology near Princeton, New Jersey.

JULIUS ROSENWALD FUND “Julius Rosenwald of Chicago on August 12,1912, as one of several nota¬ ble gifts in commemoration of his 50th birthday anniversary, contrib¬ uted $25,000 to Tuskegee Institute to be distributed among such offshoots of Tuskegee as Principal Booker T. Washington should designate. Of this amount Mr. Washington asked permission to use $2,100 for an ex¬ periment in building in Alabama six rural schools for Negroes. The con¬ ditions of the experiment required that the Negroes, by their own contribu¬ tions of cash, land or labor, by gifts from white friends, or by grants from public funds, should raise in each community an amount equal to or larger than the $300 assigned as Rosen wald aid. The interest aroused by the campaigns for constructing these buildings was so great and so many other communities sought simi¬ lar offers of aid that between 1912 and 1920, under the same co-operative plan, Mr. Rosen wald contributed to the erection in the South of 600 such schoolhouses. Up to May 1, 1926, 3,270 buildings, requiring 8,305 teach¬ ers and providing accommodations for 373,725 pupils, were completed at a total cost of $14,015,995. Of this amount the Negroes gave $2,954,131, the whites $645,944, public funds $7,927,106, and The Julius Rosenwald Fund, $2,488,814.” Nashville, Tenn. RUDNICK CHARITABLE FOUNDA¬ TION, INC. Established and incorporated 1921. Object—to extend material aid to needy and deserving, to those less for¬ tunate, as well as to financially aid charitable, religious and educational institutions; to loan money to individ¬ uals without interest charges with ulti¬ mate aim of helping them to help themselves; to give aid primarily for relief of persons of Jewish faith, pro¬ vided, however, that the Board of trustees of the corporation may in their discretion extend relief and aid to persons not of that faith. Supported by donations by members who also subscribe to stock—the amount is at present $33,754.77 of which the in¬ come only is spent. President, Joseph Rudnick, 333 Washington St., Boston, Mass. RUSSELL SAGE FOUNDATION The Russell Sage Foundation was established in 1907 by Mrs. Russell Sage in memory of her husband. It was incorporated by an act of the Legislature of New York in April, 1907. Mrs. Sage gave to the Founda¬ tion an endowment of $10,000,000. By her will she bequeathed it an addi¬ tional sum of about $5,000,000. The income only may be spent. The purpose of the Foundation, as stated in its charter, is “the improve¬ ment of social and living conditions in the United States of America.” The charter further says: “It shall be within the purposes of said corpora¬ tion to use any means which from time to time shall seem expedient to its members or trustees, including re¬ search, publication, education, the establishment and maintenance of charitable and benevolent activities, agencies and institutions, and the aid of any such activities, agencies or in¬ stitutions already established.” It does not relieve individual need. The Foundation acts through a number of departments of its own and through a few other agencies which are especially equipped to deal with cer¬ tain evils, such as illness and bad housing. The departments of the Foundation are: Charity Organization Depart¬ ment, Department of Industrial Stu¬ dies, Library, Department of Recrea¬ tion, Department of Remedial Loans, Department of Social Legislation, De¬ partment of Statistics, Department of Surveys and Exhibits. The Founda¬ tion also maintains a consultation service in Delinquency and Penology. The publications of the Foundation, which now number about 100 books and375 pamphlets touching practically every field of social work, are tangible evidences of the undertakings of the Foundation through its own depart¬ ments and its work with other social organizations.

Purpose—to encourage the best im¬ pulses in a boy’s life; to help in a substantial way those who wish to make the most of their opportunities. Boys are required to sign a pledge to abstain from gambling and drinking among other things and if the pledge is kept for three years, the holder will be entitled to the sum of two hundred dollars. No conditions are attached to this gift but it is hoped that it will be used either to promote the holder’s education or to help establish him in business. Announcement has been made that the Foundation has completed plans to aid deserving girls of New York and its suburbs, to obtain scholarships in professional, trade and domestic courses. Director, Philip Ritter, 225 West 34th St., New York, N. Y. SCRIPPS FOUNDATION FOR RE¬ SEARCH IN POPULATION PROB¬ LEMS Established in 1922 by the late E. W. Scripps, to study “the problems arising out of the growth of population in the United States.” Mr. Scripps established this work because of his great interest in the subject; he had been interested in it for 30 years. The field of interest is as broad as the descriptive term “population problems,” but naturally is limited by the funds available and the interests of the men at work. At present Mr. Thompson and Mr. Whelpton, with assistants, constitute the staff. Mr. Thompson’s interest is rather general, but he is now engaged, in co-operation with the Census Bureau, on a mono¬ graph on the proportion of children to women in the United States, while Mr. Whelpton, who is an agricultural economist, is working on the efficiency of different types of farming from the standpoint of their ability to support population. The Foundation has been in exist¬ ence less than four years. Conse¬ quently no large projects have yet been completed. The publications up to this time consist of a number of papers on various phases of population questions. Warren S. Thompson, P. K. Whelp- ton, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. SEARS-ROEBUCK AGRICULTURAL FOUNDATION The establishment of the Sears- Roebuck Agricultural Foundation to render a constructively helpful service to the farming industry, was an¬ nounced in November, 1923, by Julius Rosenwald, President of the mail order company. Mr. Rosenwald said that the Foun¬ dation would be headed by “the most capable men to be found in the agricultural field.” The Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation maintains a staff of 50 workers. It owns and operates Radio Station W-L-S, conducts research investigations, maintains an extensive farm service, holds shows and demon¬ strations, and publicizes its findings. Director, Samuel R. Guard, Arl¬ ington St. and Homan Ave., Chicago, Ill. JOHN F. SLATER FUND In 1882 this Fund was created by Mr. Slater’s gift of $1,000,000. This fund is used largely in paying the salaries of teachers in schools which train young colored people in indus¬ trial pursuits and for the profession of teaching. For the past twelve years much of the resources of the Fund has been used in supporting Public County Training Schools established through the co-operation of the Slater Board. In 1912 these schools num¬ bered four; in 1926, two hundred and seventy-five. President and Director, James H. Dillard, Box 418, Charlottesville, Va. John F.

THE SYMES FOUNDATION The Symes Foundation was incor¬ porated under the laws of the State of New York in 1917. The purposes of incorporation are set forth in its ar¬ ticles as follows: “ (1) to take title to and ownership of certain lands, premises, rights and privileges represented by and existent under the 'Lancaster Symes Grant,’ which rights and interests are now vested in and exercised by the Ameri¬ can Title and Trust Company, a Dela¬ ware Corporation with its principal office in the Dupont Building, Wil¬ mington, Delaware; (2) to hold the same in fee, to sell and convey any part or parts, to devote to public use any part or parts; (3) to use such proceeds as may be available from said sale or otherwise together with any portion of said properties reserved and held to promote and develop the physical, mental, moral and spiritual welfare of the people of Staten Island and elsewhere, (a) by furnishing to the people of Staten Island certain bath¬ ing beaches, (b) by erecting thereon, equipping and sustaining fresh air camps and lodges, hospitals, rest cures and hotels for the benefit and recuperation of those needing such, (c) by conducting what is commonly known as Chautauqua courses; by operating moving pictures and other proper and lawful pleasure-giving and instructive amusements; by conduct¬ ing and maintaining musical, literary, gospel, and evangelistic services, which shall in every case be without admis¬ sion fee and free to the people, (d) pro¬ viding free pavilions and making all such other improvements as may be deemed necessary, desirable or con¬ venient for carrying out the purposes and objects of this corporation, (e) to pay out, beautify and improve parks, drives, roadways, board-walks on the seashores and to do each and every¬ thing proper both expressed and im¬ plied in the foregoing which may be deemed desirable to aid this corpora¬ tion in promoting and developing the benevolent work for which it is organized.” The document states that the “county within which its operations are to be conducted is Richmond County, New York State,” and that the “principal office is to be located in the Borough of Manhattan, in the County of New York and State of New York.” The Symes Foundation has become especially interested in the problem of higher education. It has been making a careful study of the educational situation in the Metropolitan area and has undertaken the organization of Trinity University as an aid in meet¬ ing the educational crisis. Its plan is to establish, or federate together, unit colleges in the important centers of population in this district under a University Charter with central ad¬ ministrative and educational head¬ quarters in a Post Graduate College, the proper location for which is now a matter of consideration. The Symes Foundation has asso¬ ciated with it in this enterprise eminent educators and other repre¬ sentative citizens of large resources who, together with the Foundation, are profoundly interested in the estab¬ lishment here of a great University which shall be founded upon the principles of our Christian civilization.

CHARLES FREMONT TAYLOR TRUST FUND The Charles Fremont Taylor Trust was founded May 19, 1914, by Charles Fremont Taylor, M.D., of Philadel¬ phia. The funds of the Trust are to be de¬ voted, according to Dr. Taylor’s deed of trust, to “Promote improvements in the structure and the methods of government, with especial reference to the initiative, referendum and recall; proportional representation; preferen¬ tial voting; ballot reform; the simpli¬ fication of municipal, state, and national government, and the revision or remaking of city charters, state constitutions and our national consti¬ tution, with a view to promote effi¬ ciency and popular control of govern¬ ment.” Secretary-Treasurer, C. G. Hoag, 1417 Locust St., Philadelphia, Pa. TEACHERS INSURANCE AND ANNUITY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA See Carnegie Benefactions THOMAS THOMPSON TRUST This Trust, which became effective in 1901, was created under the will of Thomas Thompson, who left over $1,000,000, the income to be put to benevolent uses in the towns of Brattleboro, Vermont, and Rhine- beck, New York. The desire of the founder was that this Fund should go “for or towards the relief and support of poor seamstresses, needle women and shop girls, who may be in tem¬ porary need from want of employ¬ ment, sickness or misfortune.” If the whole income were not needed for this form of relief, the Trustees were to apply the surplus to kindred charitable purposes. About one-fourth of the income has been spent in direct relief, but the Trustees have devoted their main activities to the prevention rather than palliation of the kind of distress that the testator had found to exist. They have worked out a comprehen¬ sive system for the care of the sick in Brattleboro and have assisted the New York State Charities Aid Associa¬ tion in a study of sickness in Dutchess county, New York, in which county Rhinebeck is located, with a view to working out the best system of care to be adopted in that county.

TRUDEAU FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH AND TEACHING IN TUBERCULOSIS This is an endowment created as a memorial to the late Dr. Edward L. Trudeau, to perpetuate his name and to continue the scientific investiga¬ tions that jvere a life-long interest to the American pioneer in tuberculosis research. The income is devoted to the following purposes: 1. To maintain laboratories and carry on research into the na¬ ture, causes and treatment of tuberculosis. 2. To maintain regular courses of instruction for physicians and others in the most advanced knowledge of the above subject, under the name of The Trudeau School of Tuberculosis. 3.

It shall be within the purposes of such corporation to use any means to such ends as may from time to time seem expedient to its members or trustees, including study, investiga¬ tion, research, publication, publicity, instruction, the organization of chari¬ table or educational activities, agen¬ cies, and institutions and the aid of any such activities, agencies and insti¬ tutions already established.” It is governed by a Board of nine Trustees. President, Edward A. Filene, 5 Park Square, Boston, Mass. UNION MEMORIAL FOUNDATION The Union Memorial Foundation is a philanthropic non-profit sharing organization incorporated under the Michigan state law and has been in existence about two years. It owns a building adjacent to Blodgett Me¬ morial Hospital in East Grand Rapids valued at approximately $250,000. The building is mortgaged for $75,000. The subscribers to the fund necessary to the erection of the building own non-profit sharing stock in the Foun¬ dation. They elect a Board of Trus¬ tees who control the affairs of the Foundation. The Foundation leases the building to a group of physicians without rent, but who agree over a period of years to meet all expenses connected with the maintenance of the building and grounds and within a period of thirteen and one-half years to pay the maturing bonds and interest. The purpose of the Foundation is to establish a diagnostic clinic (called the Grand Rapids Clinic) and to give such service to patients who come to the Clinic at a maximum fee of $25 includ¬ ing the cost of X-ray and laboratory work. Arrangements are made with the adjacent hospital (Blodgett Me¬ morial) whereby such laboratory and X-ray service is furnished the Clinic at cost. It is hoped that by definitely grouping together a number of physi¬ cians representing the various special¬ ists of the profession to give this com¬ munity an exceptionally good service at a moderate cost.

GEORGE ROBERT WHITE FUND The George Robert White Fund is a permanent charitable trust fund, willed to the City of Boston, the net income only to be used for “creating works of public utility and beauty, for the use and enjoyment of the inhabi¬ tants of the City of Boston.” No part of the income, however, is to be used for a religious, political, educa¬ tional or any purpose which it shall be the duty of the city in the ordinary course of events to provide. Control and management of the Fund is in the hands of a board of five trustees—to consist of the Mayor, President of the City Council, the City Auditor, President of the Cham¬ ber of Commerce, and the President of the Bar Association of the City of Boston. From will of George Robert White, Article fourteenth. THE WHITE MEMORIAL FOUNDATION The White Memorial Foundation is a Connecticut corporation, incor¬ porated in 1913 and located at Litch¬ field, Conn. It was founded by Alain C. White and his sister, Miss May W. White, as a memorial to their parents and to two brothers. The Foundation now has an endow¬ ment of about $500,000 and owns 3,000 acres of land on, and adjoining, Bantam Lake, in the towns of Litch¬ field and Morris, Conn. In addition it has donated to the State of Connecti¬ cut, for park and forestry purposes, additional tracts aggregating 4,500 acres, including Kent Falls, Mace¬ donia Brook, Mohawk Mountain, and one or two minor properties. The Foundation rents the hunting rights on 2,500 acres adjoining its tract in Litchfield and Morris, and this land is devoted to wild life sanctuary pur¬ poses. Aside from the sanctuary, the Foun¬ dation uses its tract in Litchfield and Morris for various semi-public pur¬ poses. Here is a wild garden; a country club and golf links; a chil¬ dren’s fresh air home, the summer branch of the Sheltering Arms of 504 West 129th St., New York City; a motor camping colony, with pro¬ visions for boating, swimming, etc.; and the like. The sanctuary is administered in conjunction with the Connecticut State Board of Fisheries and Game, who have located the State Game Farm on the tract, formerly estab¬ lished at Madison, Conn. The Foundation is administered by a board of seven trustees, who are self- perpetuating. President, Hon. George M. Wood¬ ruff, Litchfield, Conn.; Secretary, Alain C. White, Hotel Gotham, 5th Ave. and 55th St., New York, N. Y. WHITE-WILLIAMS FOUNDATION The White-Williams Foundation was organized in 1800 as the Magdalen Society of Philadelphia and was incor¬ porated in 1802. The Society main¬ tained a home for “unhappy females who . . . are desirous of return¬ ing to a life of rectitude.” In 1916 women were added to the Board, which up to that time had been com¬ posed entirely of men, and the organi¬ zation made a survey to discover how to reach the causes of the delinquency which they are now trying to remove. In February, 1920, the name was changed to The White-Williams Foundation, as a memorial to its first president, Bishop William White, the first Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Pennsylvania, and to George Williams, who, as chairman of the Board of Trustees in 1849, made a plea for the kind of work which the organization undertook in 1917. That same year the charter was amended and the constitution revised to permit the “progressive solution of . . . problems . . . which affect the immediate or ultimate inter¬ ests of children and youth of school age.” At that time the Foundation had a small capital of $71,615.72 and $140,- 079.95 from the sale of the Home to the Municipal Court. To inaugurate its new work and to introduce it into the public schools as soon as possible, it has regarded the latter amount as working capital and from time to time the Foundation has invested parts of it in its current activities. It carried on a campaign for funds until 1921, when it joined the Welfare Federation which was organized that year in Philadelphia. Purpose: The work in which the Foundation is now engaged is the development of a technique for study¬ ing the social background and personal characteristics of the individual child in the schools, in order that he may be given guidance adapted to his needs. Present Activities: School counseling. The Foundation has placed counselors in a selected group of Philadelphia schools: 1. To prove the value of social work in the schools by intensive case work with individual children in schools of various types, and 2. To develop a technique for hand¬ ling the social problems that present themselves in schools, in order that standards and ma¬ chinery may be readily adapted to the uses of the public school system when this work is adopted by the Board of Public Education. Scholarships: Grants scholarships to boys and girls over fourteen years of age who will profit by further edu¬ cation and who, without financial assistance, would not be able to keep on in school. Training for school counseling in co-operation with Pennsylvania school of social and health work, and Depart¬ ments of Education of the University of Pennsylvania, and of Swarthmore College. Development of Public Opinion: The Foundation endeavors to use the opportunities which come to it from time to time for disseminating infor¬ mation and developing public opinion, especially among educators and social workers, regarding the value of social work in the schools.

WIEBOLDT FOUNDATION The Wieboldt Foundation was es¬ tablished June 24, 1921, as the Chi¬ cago Charitable Corporation by Mr. and Mrs. William A. Wieboldt, through a gift of assets valued at approx¬ imately five million dollars. Its pur¬ pose is best expressed by a statement in the by-laws, which is as follows: “To benefit an indefinite number of persons, either by bringing their hearts under the influence of reli¬ gion or education, or relieving their bodies from disease, suffering, or re¬ straint, or maintaining public build¬ ings or works, or otherwise lessening the burdens of government.” The organization is controlled by a board of directors, elected annually by the members. The policy of the directors has been, in the past, to give financial assistance to philanthropic organizations, basing the amount of their donation upon first, the need of the community for the service rendered, and second, upon the effectiveness with which the or¬ ganization meets this need. The apportionment has been determined on a percentage basis, the larger part of the funds being allotted to construc¬ tive, rather than to relief work.

ALFRED L. WILLSON CHARITABLE FOUNDATION The Alfred L. Willson Charitable Foundation was incorporated in 1919 and has so far had for its general pur¬ pose the distribution of income for ordinary charitable activities. Later its aim and purpose will be changed to that of “Prevention”—so as to try to avoid the many calls now necessary for charitable aid, which might have been obviated. Some millions will finally be available for this purpose. President, Alfred L. Willson, 16 East Broad St., Columbus, Ohio. WILLIAM HOLLAND WILMER FOUN¬ DATION The William Holland Wilmer Foun¬ dation was incorporated under the code of laws of the District of Colum¬ bia as a perpetual corporation for char¬ itable purposes, December 18, 1922. The purpose of the Foundation is “to establish and endow, and if desirable, maintain and conduct an institute for the care, treatment and surgery of the human eye, as well as research in the field of medical science as it relates to the eye.” “The William Holland Wilmer Foundation is created as a tribute to the character, professional attain¬ ment and service to humanity of Dr. William Holland Wilmer.” In co-operation with the Johns Hopkins University, the Wilmer Foun¬ dation raised a fund of $3,000,000 for the establishment of the Wilmer Insti¬ tute in Baltimore at the Johns Hop¬ kins Medical School and Hospital. This Institute commenced operations October, 1925, under the direction of Dr. Wilmer and a staff of specialists. President, Robert W. Kelley, 16 E. 43rd St., New York, N.

Simonson and Mrs. Charles L. Tiffany, both of New York, the idea that a similar foundation should be established in this country in recognition of the national and in¬ ternational services of Mr. Wilson, twice President of the United States, who “furthered the cause of human freedom and was instrumental in pointing out effective methods for the co-operation of the liberal forces of mankind throughout the world.” The Foundation was actually established December 23, 1920, at Mrs. Tiffany’s home in New York. At a meeting held March 15, 1921, at the Hotel Biltmore, the organization of the Foundation was completed. The first appeal for funds was made January 16, 1922, and at a meeting held in New York City on December 27, 1922, when the permanent organization of the Foundation was accomplished, it was announced that the contributions to the proposed $1,000,000 fund at that time amounted to over $800,000. The fund was turned over on the date mentioned to the trustees of the Foundation and on the following December 28th the former President’s 66th birthday, a committee was sent to Washington to notify Mr. Wilson of the actual creation of the Founda¬ tion in his honor. An award from the income of the Foundation will be made from time to time by a nationally constituted com¬ mittee to the living individual who has rendered, within a specified period, un¬ selfish public service of enduring value.

SELMENE WINTER FOUNDATION The Selmene Winter Foundation is a fund started by Mrs. Lillian Winter in memory of her daughter, Selmene, and the purpose of the Foundation is to provide means for research concern¬ ing children. The Foundation has as its object the developmental study of children. The present problem is the one of de¬ termining the normal and abnormal development of the child-chest as well as the earliest indications of diseases as evidenced therein. The Foundation has the direct co¬ operation and use of the research de¬ partments and laboratories of the University of Colorado. It also has the co-operation of the following social service agencies: Visiting Nurses’ As¬ sociation of Denver, Colo.; The Central Jewish Aid Society; The Home Service Section of the Red Cross, Denver, Colo.; The Selmene Winter Foundation Motor Corps; A Board of Consulting Physicians; and the State Bureau of Child Welfare. The financial support has been carried entirely by Mrs. Winter, but the mem¬ bership is now open to friends and sympathizers. Address, 258 Metropolitan Bldg., Denver, Colo.

COMMUNITY TRUSTS The Community Trust aims “to re¬ ceive and to safeguard donations in trust under supervisions and regula¬ tions imposed by State legislation; to employ the principal, or income, or both, for educational and charitable purposes in a broader and more useful manner in future years than it is now possible to anticipate.” The funds of community trusts are usually held by trust companies which are responsible for their investment and the collection of income. The disbursement of income is directed by a committee, a minority of whose members are appointed by the trust company. The rest of the members are selected by designated local public officials, such as mayors and judges, and by the chief officers of local educational institutions. Akron Foundation. L. S.
