1 Associates are selected in annual competition from the academic staff of all departments and colleges to carry out self-initiated programs of scholarly research or professional activity. T h e center is able to contribute only a modest fraction of the salary funds necessary to replace associates in their regular duties; thus the appointment of associates is possible due to the cooperation of the departments with which they are affiliated.
