The American Council on Education has announced the creation of a nine‐man committee on institutional research policy, appointed by Council President Arthur S. Adams at the request of the ACE executive committee. “The amount of research sponsored annually by the Federal government in colleges and universities is increasing rapidly”, the council points out, “and may exceed $150,000,000 this year. Industries are also offering a much greater volume of research than in the past. This situation not only intensifies the problems of institutions with large sponsored research programs, but also brings into the picture many colleges which have had little or no experience with this type of operation.
