KELLOGG FOUNDATION GRANT O F FUNDS (6) T h e faculty of the College of Dentistry has developed a plan for offering postgraduate and refresher courses in various fields of dental practice particularly for the benefit of returning w a r veterans. I recommend that t h e Board authorize acceptance of a grant of $50,000 from t h e Kellogg Foundation, Battle Creek, Michigan, to inaugurate this program and support it for a period of three years, with the understanding that the University will commit itself to continue a program of postgraduate dental education on a permanent basis and support it from regular University budgets thereafter. T h e grant would be used for salaries of additional teaching personnel, $25,000 for t h e first year, $15,000 for the second year, and $10,000 for the third year. Tuition fees will be charged all practitioners enrolling in these postgraduate courses. I recommend that 80 per cent of t h e income from such fees be set aside for the future development of t h e program so that it can be continued on a self-supported basis. T h e Board of Trustees has previously authorized the acceptance of a grant of $00,000 from t h e Kellogg Foundation under a similar arrangement and commitment for postgraduate and refresher courses for medical practitioners.
