The image shows a page from the "Harvard University Gazette," specifically page 157, dated September 1, 1928, and March 1928. The page includes sections titled "For one year from September 1, 1928" and "Resignations," which detail the appointments and resignations of various individuals in different departments and schools of Harvard University, including the School of Architecture, Theological School, Law School, and others.
On the right side of the page, there is a section titled "AWARDS FROM THE MILTON FUND," which discusses awards made to officers of instruction or administration in the University based on the provisions of the Milton Fund for Research. The text explains that the fund awards grants for not more than two years and that the committee considers applications to avoid regular annual grants to the same applicant to prevent limiting the freedom of the funds and to extend aid to other worthy applicants. The amount awarded for the coming year (1928-29) is $49,750, with varying amounts in grants.
The page also mentions that the Milton Fund was established by the legacy of William F. Milton, who left his estate to Harvard University for the building of a University library or to defray the expenses of any special investigation of a medical, geographical, historical, or scientific nature. The fund's purpose is to promote the physical and material welfare and prosperity of the human race, to assist in the discovery and perfecting of means of alleviating or curing human disease, or to investigate and determine the value or importance of any discovery or invention.
