Special Fellowship in English:
The fund is to be known as the Louis A. Strauss Fellowship in English as a
memorial to the late Professor Strauss. It is desired that, until further communication from donors or their representatives, contributions and interest earnings be

Fellows in English.
The fund amounts at the date of this action to the sum of
$1.277.56.
More than fifty separate donors were reported as having contributed to date a total sum of $1,558.10 which they desired to have
accepted as the Frederick M. Gaige Research fund, the income of

the promotion or publication of research in that museum. This gift is
to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of Professor Gaige's connection
with the staff of the Museum of Zoology. The Regents accepted the
gift in accordance with its terms and conditions, including the direction that it be invested as a part of the Consolidated Endowment fund
of the University.
The Board accepted with thanks and in accordance with its terms
and conditions a proposal from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to
