TREATMENT IN

CARNEGIE TRUST SERUM
AND RESEARCH
More Students Taking
Salaried Posts
An encouraging statement re- garding the lifting of the industrial depression was made in the annual report of the executive committee of the Carnegie Trust for the Uni- versities of Scotland, submitted to
the trustees at a meeting in Con- don yesterday.
"It is a matter of common know- ledge," the report stated, "that for some years past the flow; from research to university and Industri- al: posts had diminished. It is therefore," significant that since the awards were intimated last July resignations on account of appointment to salaried posts have again become numerous. It would be premature to infer from this circumstance that the end of the
depression is in sight, but the gen- eral impression that it has lifted considerably, so far as this country is concerned, is supported by the fact mentioned above.".

In regard to the scheme of post-
graduate study, and" research, the committee pointed. out that the problem of the trust had not been to find suitable and well-qualifed applicants, but to and sufficient means to finance them in their in- vestigations. Had more funds been available there would have been no difficulty in adding to the num- 'ber, which had nevertheless been no fewer than 569 for the sixth period, an increase of 91 compared with the fifth.

of the situation, the committee were compelled to reduce the value of the awards for 1933-33. The stipends of fellows were lowered from £300 to £250; of senior scho- lars from £200 to £175; `and"of scholars from £175 to £150 for 1933-34. The committee had now found it necessary to place all scholarships on the uniform level
of £150, and even on that basis only those with the highest qualf- .cations could hope to receive
