DISTRIBUTION OF DENTIFRICE INCOME (35) T h e distribution of net income received from the ammoniated dentifrice patents as specified in the contract between the University of Illinois Foundation and the four discoverers, after reimbursing the University for research costs, is as follows: Foundation, 50 per cent; discoverers, 40 per cent, one-fourth (10 per cent) to each of the four discoverers; College of Dentistry, for research, 10 per cent. Funds received from time to time have been distributed according to this schedule. However, $50,000 was reserved by the Foundation to meet possible costs of litigation. On May I, 1959, the Board of Directors of the Foundation, being of the opinion that future litigation was very improbable, authorized the distribution of this sum. Some time ago there was established with the Foundation an endowment, the Edward C. Wach Dental Research Fund, to provide funds for further research in the College of Dentistry. Dr. Wach, one of the discoverers, offered to give his share of the $50,000 reserve to this fund and proposed that other interested parties do likewise. The Board of Directors of the Foundation has allocated $5,000 of the $25,000 received by it in this distribution to this fund, and the Dean of the College of Dentistry and the Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges recommend that the $5,000 that would go to the College of Dentistry be used for the same purpose. I concur in this recommendation. O n m o t i o n of M r . C l e m e n t , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d .
