CHEMICAL FOUNDATION FELLOWSHIPS IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY (37) T h e Chemical Foundation offers the University of Illinois the sum of $6,000 a year for three years, unless sooner withdrawn or terminated by the Chemical Foundation, to aid ten worthy graduate students in organic chemistry to take advanced work for the Ph.D. degree, under the following terms and conditions: 1. T h e fellowships shall be called "Organic Chemistry Fellowships." 2. Recommendations for appointments to these fellowships shall be by the H e a d of the Department of Chemistry or by the head of the division of organic chemistry of the Department of Chemistry. They must receive the approval of the fellowship committee of the Graduate School of the University. T h e standards of the candidates for appointment shall be the same as of the candidates for appointment to other University fellowships. 3. T h e stipend shall be $600 for ten months and shall be paid in ten installments. 4. These fellows shall be exempt from tuition and fees (except the matriculation and graduation fees). T h e y shall have the same privileges and shall observe the same regulations within the University as those holding regular University fellowships. They shall not be obligated to undertake any teaching assignments. 5. T h e appointment to an organic chemical fellowship shall be for one year only with no assurance of renewal. It is expected, however, that under ordinary circumstances the recipient will continue as a fellow until he obtains the Ph.D. degree. 6. T h e distribution of the organic chemistry fellows among the members of the staff of the organic division of the Department of Chemistry is to be determined by the H e a d of the Department, or in case the Head of the Department is not an organic chemist, by the head of the division of organic chemistry. 7. Appointments may be made so that a candidate may start work at the beginning of the first or the second semester. 8. Funds for the fellowships shall be paid to the University which shall act as disbursing agent to the fellows. 9. T h e Chemical Foundation reserves the right to terminate this arrangement and to discontinue the fellowships at the end of any school year in so far as any new appointments are concerned; but it agrees to give the University notice of its intention to discontinue the fellowships at least sixty days prior to the end of any academic year. 10. In the event that any patentable discoveries are made by any fellow during the progress of the investigations, the general regulations of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois concerning patentable discoveries by members of its staff shall govern and be regarded as applicable to the same extent and with the same effect as if such fellow were a member of the staff of the University; but fellows hereunder shall not be regarded as members of the University staff for any other purpose whatsoever.
