This is the second series of awards not in accordance with the Milton Fund Awards for 1921–1922, and twenty-seven awards are made this time, amounting to something over $41,000 for 1923–1925.

Purpose of the Milton Fund

• Purpose:
  The fund is established in memory of William F. Milton, who died in 1897. The bulk of the estate of the late William F. Milton is to be used for building a University Library, or if the University had a suitable building, to defray the expense of any installation “in the interests of, or for promoting the human race, or to assist in the discovery and perfection of any special means of alleviating or curing human disease, or of discovering or inventing the value or importance of any investigative or investigative apparatus or temporary object of the nature above stated.”
  Specifically, it was mentioned that the investigation might be of medical, geographical, historical, or scientific character.

Milton Legacy Trust

• Details:
  The Milton legacy yields an annual income of about $80,000. A committee was appointed to advise the Corporation in making a selection among the investigations proposed by members of the instructing, scientific, or administrative staff of the University.

Award Recipients

• EARNEST ALBERT HOOTON – Assistant Professor of Anthropology in the Psychological Laboratories, recently developed for the purchase of a machine to be used for calculating coefficients of correlation in research in the anthropological laboratory.
• HAROLD SHAPLEY – Professor of Practical Astronomy and Director of the Harvard College Observatory, to purchase apparatus providing access to temperature controls and comparison spectrum accessories.
• GILBERT PAUL BAXTER – Theodore Williams Richards Professor of Chemistry, for two years, for research connected with the determination of atomic weights through the density and composition of gases. Results obtained with oxygen and helium have provided very valuable, and it is hoped that the immediate future will supply definitive representations of hydrogen, nitrogen, and some of the rare gases.
• CHEMISTRY SHANNON FORBES – Associate Professor of Chemistry, for supplies and apparatus connected with the excitation potentials in liquid ammonia.

General Observations
