Clark, Milton Awards Made For Harvard Research Men

Awards of $36,200 to members of the Harvard faculty for purposes of research on subjects ranging from chimpanzees and department stores to cosmic rays, are announced today by the Corporation. There are 42 awards supplied by funds established by the late William F. Milton '58, and Joseph H. Clark '57.

Most of the research work will be done in Cambridge, but some will be in France, Santo Domingo, Esthonia, and Italy. The Milton Fund was established in 1924, and the Clark Fund in 1925, both to encourage research and to promote the welfare of the human race.

The subjects for the work include the investigation of skin color of chimpanzees, the thought of William James as revealed by unpublished correspondence, and research on choral music, personality and the modern department store.
