CERAMIC ENGINEERING SCHOLARSHIP TRUST F U N D (8) On October 29, 1043, the Board of Trustees authorized the establishment of a Ceramic Scholarship T r u s t Fund to encourage worthy high school graduates to major in ceramic engineering, thus helping to meet the great demand of industry for personnel trained in this field. Sources of funds are grants from industry, from industrial and professional organizations, and from funds given to the University for cooperative research projects. To date approximately forty donors have contributed $15,330.05 to this fund. Investment of it has yielded $833.17 in interest. Scholarships, awards, and other expenses total $881.86.

(b) Extend eligibility to any candidates, including students already enrolled in the University, who have not previously been enrolled in the curriculum in ceramic engineering. Scholarships are now limited to candidates who have not previously been enrolled in the University. I concur in these changes. On motion of Mr. Hickman, these changes were approved.
