Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Review of "Oceanography 1960 to 1970" And Comments on the Interagency Committee on Oceanography: Fiscal Year 1962 Program
We agree with and reemphasize the statement in the ico Report, that the education of young scientists is the most important part of our long-range national program. The situation is improving. Oceanography departments in universities report a distinct increase in student interest in the last two years, amounting in some cases to a flood of applicants. This is almost certainly due to the increased public interest in oceanography and to better financial support for the field. It has been possible to increase the enrollment of well-cuelified candidates some 50-100% in those institutions having the necessary space and funds. Other institutions have been unable to ih crease their graduate student bodies ih spite of increases in the number of applicants because of lack of space or funds for support. Those institutions which have increased their student bodies can go no further because of lack of space.
There has been a tendency in the last two years to liberalize policies for granting federal aid to oceano graphic education. Some agencies now make grants providing direct support for thesis research. To a limited degree, training grants have been made available through the National Science Foundation and the Department of Health, edbjat101 and welfare. The Office of Naval Research con tract research program continues to provide a most valuable source of support for graduate research assistantships. By general support of basic research institutions, our has developed a stable and beneficial atmosphere for long range research programs in which graduate students can be supported. Ford Foundation fellowships totalling about one million dollars also have become available to some oceanographic institutions.
