Ford Foundation Gives $300,000

The University received a $300,000 gift for research in behavior and human relations from the Ford Foundation, America's richest philanthropic trust this weekend.

Six other universities, including Yale, Cornell, and Columbia received grants of similar size. All in all, the Foundation announced $3,500,000 in gifts, only a small part of its resources, estimated at $215,000,000.

The Foundation, of which Dean David of the Business School is a recently appointed trustee, announced earlier last week that it intends to benefit humanity in five fields; world peace, the strenght-enign of democracy, world-wide economic improvement, the expansion of education, and a fundamental study of human conduct.
