received research support for several years from the National Institute of Mental Health. A book based on this work is to be published in 1969 by John Wiley and Sons, under the authorship of Professor Cronbach and several associates. The University Committee on Copyrights and Recordings was asked to review recommendations from the College of Education concerning the distribution of royalties from the book, and the Committee concurs in the proposed payment of the royalties, as follows: 1. $1,000 to reimburse Professor Cronbach for direct costs incurred in preparation of the manuscript. 2. Up to $1,000 each to Professor Nanda and to the son of Professor Rajaratnam (the latter having died during the time of revision of the manuscript). 3. All additional royalty income to go to the University of Illinois. The Executive Vice-President and Provost endorses the Committee's recommendations in both of these cases. I concur.
