It is anticipated that these funds will be expended entirely by the end of this fiscal year (1957-58)
$ 39, 150.00
Proposed Budget 1958-59 For Chemical and Biological Work
It is anticipated that these funds will be expended entirely in accordance with the following allocations
A. Identification of individual classes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and development of analytical methods therefor. In this work approximately half of the cost will apply to chemical, and half to biological experimentation.
B. Development of analytical criteria by which to estimate the catalytic (accelerating) activity of the medium. Of this, approximately three fourths of the cost will apply to biological experimentation.
C. Combination of above measures so as to estimate the carcinogenic potency of complex oils and to apply the analytical tool to petroleum oils which have been tested biologically. About four fifths of this work may be expected to be of a chemical character.

Dr. Robert A. Kehoe The Drake Hotel Lake Shore Dr, and Michigan Ave. Chicago, Illinois
Dear Dr. Kehoej
I hope' Ill have a chance to see you before the meeting of the Project Advisory Committee on Wednesday to discuss this budget very briefly. Since your tight schedule may make this impossible, I am writing this note to explain the attached modification of the proposed budget for 1953-54-*
Two reasons have led to this reduction in the estimated budget for the API program. The first developed from my meeting with a Koppers representative on September 18. His company has already budgeted $10,000 for the year 1953 as their share of the cost of a coal tar project. Further discussion of the scope of sponsorship of that project with John Lauer indicates that its total budget will probably exceed $4.0,000 for 1953*
Secondly, item eight of the report of the sub committee on carcinogenicity to be made to the Medical Advisory Committee on September 25 is a recommendation that the API project be continued at approximately its present cost ($100,000 per year) for the year beginning July 1, 1953. The attached revision of our estimated budget will thus, hold more closely to this recommendation of the members of the subcommittee and at the same time permit us to do more for the coal tar people without overexpanding our research team or facilities.
Sincerely yours.

Subject: University of Cincinnati Kettering Laboratory
Gentlemen:
For your consideration ve enclose a copy of a letter dated May 9 and memorandum dated March 15 both from Dr. Robert A. Kehoe who outlines a need for increasing the University's overhead charges against research projects carried on at Kettering Laboratory. You will note that his proposed program of graduate training is expected to increase the total overhead percentage by more than 5$ but less than 10$.
As recommended in November .19^9, the carcinogenicity budget
for 1950-51 is $92,000. With the additional overhead. Dr. Kehoe
estimates the maximum total budget should be increased to $100,000
to cover the next 12 months.
Ve believe the unexpended balance of current funds at Kettering Laboratory on June 30, 1950 will be at least $8,000; There fore, our payment of new money should not exceed the $92,000 which is now available and on deposit at the Institute.
In view of these facts and with the possibility that you may favor acceptance of Dr. Kehoe's recommendation, we enclosfe a rough draft of a modified letter of agreement for your consideration.
Your comments, either favorable or unfavorable, should be mailed to me at the earliest possible date because the agreement
should be submitted to Dr. Kehoe not later than June 26. If no objections are received on or before that date we shall assume you have none to submit.
Yours very truly.

Mr. David Stroop. Director of Safety, American Petroleum Institute, 50 West 50th Street, New York City 20.
Dear Mr. Stroop:
I am sending you herewith several copies of a memorandum I have pre pared for submission to the sponsors of the experimental work of the Laboratory. I believe this will be self-explanatory, but I have con sidered it desirable to append a note to it, in explanation of its length, which seems a bit long. It Is my firm conviction that there is nothing which this Laboratory can do for industry, and specifically for the petroleum industry, which would be more useful in the long run than to spend some of our efforts in training medical men to appreci ate the general problems of industrial health. This is a service that industry needs, and I am sure that it can afford to pay a nominal cost for the benefits to be achieved. Therefore, I have gone to some length to explain our program and our ideas In connection with it.
I realize that this may be a very poor time to suggest more extensive expenditures. On the other hand, I think this should be presented for consideration. It might have been wise to do it at the formal meeting of the Medical Advisory Committee, but, quite frankly,' I did not want to cloud the issues under consideration by bringing forward a proposal of this type. I leave entirely to your discretion the manner and the time of presenting this. In my feeling, if it were approved in principle, we would be in position to handle the situation fairly well this year, since our cost for the current year will probably be relatively small. I shall appreciate hearing from you at your convenience concerning this matter.
Sincerely yours,

MEMORANDUM
TO RESPONSIBLE EXECUTIVES OF ALL INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED IN TOE EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM OF TOE KETTERING LABORATORY. COLLEGE OF MEDICINE. UNIVERSITY 0 CINCINNATI
The developments of recent years in the field of industrial health and, specifically, the evolution and growth of the activities of this Laboratory in this field, have posed a number of problems that are of considerable importance to this Medical College and Uni versity and are, likewise, matters of concern to industry. It is nec essary to formulate certain policies and plans in order to deal with these problems on some more or less permanent basis,' and It is the purpose of this memorandum to obtain an expression of opinion from representatives of industry relative to such plans.
The work which led to the creation of the Kettering Labora tory began in the Department of Physiology in the Medical College in 1925# when the study of a single toxicologic and hygienic problem was undertaken for, and at the expense of, one industrial organization. While this work was expanding beyond the space and facilities avail able in the laboratories of the Medical College, additional industrial organizations became Interested in our engaging in other investiga tions. There being no source of funds in the University by which to provide facilities for such work, a group of three industrial organi zations provided funds to build and equip a laboratory, which was
2
completed late in 1930, and was named Che Kettering Laboratory, in honor of the distinguished industrialist, scientist and inventor, Charles Franklin Kettering, whose work, with his associate Midgley and others, had created the industrial commodity (antiknock material containing tetraethyl lead as the primary ingredient) out of which our first industrial investigation grew.
Che significance of the foregoing comments is that American industry, with particular reference to the chemical industry, was on the way to its present dominant position in international production and commerce, creating, as it developed, the special industrial hazards which it had no proper means of appreciating or controlling. Historically, the same thing had happened in Germany, and It was in evitable that medical attention should be brought to bear on these problems by some means. Ihe facilities available in' the United States vere very scanty and wholly inadequate, and, by sheer accident, we were drawn into this type of work at a comparatively early time. Che Laboratory, therefore, has developed, with something of a lag, in re sponse to the needs of the situation, and since no other meani was available, these developments, in the University, were financed by industry exclusively. From Its small beginning, the Laboratory has expanded its equipment and personnel to fit the work that it has been able to accept, and with the completion, equipping and.staffing of a new wing in July of 1949, which more than doubled the available space, its physical facilities accommodate a staff of more than one hundred persons, and its annual budget comes to about $400,000.00 per year.
This growth and development has not been merely quantitative
but qualitative as veil, in that experience with the problems of in
dustry has contributed to the shaping of policies, methods of pro
cedure and functions. It became apparent at an early date that the
experimental work had to be applied in the industrial environment, and
that much of it would have to be done with the practical problems of
industry clearly in mind. This resulted in frequent consultations
with industrial people, in a variety of direct professional services
to industry, and in the acquisition of direct familiarity with the
industrial organizations, plants, and personnel involved. This ex
perience demonstrated, among other things, that trained personnel for
the work of industrial health were not available. Therefore, nothing
was more clear than that a University medical center such as this had
the duty of making provision for professional training. For the most
part, the facilities required for such training were available in the
Colleges of this University, but a great deal of planning and organ
izing was necessary to put them to work. By July of 1947 plans had
been crystallized for this purpose, the Institute of Industrial Health
had been organized in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, of the
University, and two graduate physicians had been enrolled for'a course
of three years of study and training as candidates for the degree of
Doctor of Industrial Medicine.
'
While these developments were in progress in this Univer
sity, somewhat similar activities began and progressed elsewhere. In
response to the continually growing requirements of American industry
in these respects. Other centers of research or professional train
ing, or both, have been established or are being established and
( - 4-
developed, fhls Laboratory, however, which Is the administrative and academic center of the Institute of Industrial Health in the Graduate School, and which, recently, was consolidated with the De partment of Preventive Medicine to become the Department of Preventive Medicine and Industrial Health in the College of Medicine, has the unique character of being a university enterprise created and fi nanced wholly by industry to serve industry. It embodies the willing ness on the part of an important segment of American industry to in vest appreciable sums of money in the solution of industrial problems by an organization that is responsible to the public. The presumption, , based on the growth of the Laboratory, is that this has been a good investment. Because of this presumption, and in keeping with the . good will that has developed out of years of direct and frank rela tionships with industrial management, certain changes in fiscal and operating policies are proposed for consideration, which, if generally acceptable, will be Incorporated in future formal agreements between the Laboratory and its sponsors.
The educational program of the Laboratory has created some expense, and the means of dealing with this expense is a problem which it seems necessary and desirable to present to the Industrial organi zations involved Independently and jointly in the financial support of the experimental work. One point must be made clear In this regard. There are no funds available to us at present from public or private sources, other than those earmarked for the prosecution of experiments] work agreed upon between the University and Industrial organizations. Nor can the University of Cincinnati, which is a municipal institution, (
- 5 **
provide funds for the support of any part of the experimental or edu cational program of tills Laboratory, it being caught, as are most American universities, on the two vicious horns of the dilemma of diminishing private gifts of all kinds and returns on endowment funds, on the one hand, and the increasing cost of all of its activities, on the other. The result of this is the necessity of turning to in dustry for the entire support of the activities believed to be neces sary. Since everyone who wants money turns either to government or to industry for it, this has a familiar sound. There is a difference, however, be believe, in that the entire productive effort of this enterprise is designed to benefit Industry, in an area of great in dustrial need and weakness. Moreover, present trends in industrial legislation and practice, with reference to health and welfare, em ployee relations, and community comfort and health (with specific , stress on stream and atmospheric pollution), are such that the present lack of adequately trained personnel in the field of industrial health is a serious and growing threat to American industry. If our ex perience of the past twenty years is to be trusted, the urgent, need for competent industrial physicians will have to be met in the near future. Moreover, industrial management is more aware of this, we believe, than is the medical profession, in general, including those responsible for the training of physicians, and therefore we can ex pect to obtain understanding and support from industrial management in this matter before it will be forthcoming elsewhere.
With these matters In mind, we have considered the cost of our educational program carefully, and have decided to propose to the
( -6-
sponsors of our vork that ve he authorized to add to the cost of all experimental vork an overhead charge of 10 per cent for educational purposes. This figure has been arrived at on the basis of previous cost accounting and estimates which extend somewhat into the future. Appended hereto, is a bulletin in which the program of graduate edu cation is outlined, together with a schedule of fellowship stipends offered to graduate physicians who are accepted for training. {The stipends are offered as a means of reducing the economic hurdle for physicians who may wish to extend their training beyond the already prolonged period required, thereby encouraging able but impecunious applicants. It is also evident that some inducement must be offered to potential candidates, in view of the almost overwhelming tendency , of graduate physicians to enter into other fields of professional 1' , practice.) Our intention is to accept four students, per year for training if satisfactory applicants are available. Present facilities in the Laboratory, and in the University generally, will not justify our accepting a larger number at this time. This would mean that we would have eight fellows (in two classes) in the school per year, since the third year group would be in residencies in industrial es tablishments for which they will be compensated by the industry in which they are working. (Arrangements have been made to take care of a certain number of trained men in these residencies, and additional arrangements can be made as required.) Under these conditions, the cost of all of the fellowship stipends will not exceed $22,800.00 per year, and will usually be somewhat less than this sum. Various plans are tinder way to obtain funds for this purpose from other academic and
(
-7-
professional sources, and to the extent that these succeed, the funds
obtained vill be applied against this cost, but it seems necessary in
lieu of such sources to secure the financial structure of this educa
tional program through funds made available by the supporters of the
general vork of the Laboratory.
The cost of the instruction of graduate students, as the
work of the Faculty of the Institute of Industrial Health is presently
organized, varies a little from year to year. Much of this cost ap
plied automatically against the budget of the Laboratory for experi
mental purposes, in that the time spent in instruction by members of
the staff of the Laboratory is paid for by salaries authorized for
experimental work. (Other members of the Faculty, in other Departments
of the University, receive no additional compensation for services
rendered in the Graduate School.) However, the time so expended by
members of our staff has been recorded and made a charge against the
educational program for the past two years. It came to about
.
$10,000.00 in 1947-48 and to about $13,000.00 in 1948-49. Other items
of expense included the cost of instruction given by non-university
personnel, the traveling expense of visiting instructors (lecturers),
the cost of miscellaneous supplies, stationery, printing, books and
equipment, and a reasonable share of overhead expense for light, heat.
Janitor service and the like. The total expense, exclusive of fellow
ship stipends, was $20,000.00 in round numbers in the academic year
1947-48, and $21,000.00 in 1948-49. This cost can be expected to in
crease to some extent as cost accounting of any and all expense attrib
utable to such professional training Is more rigidly scrutinized and
8- -
recorded. Moreover, the further development of the professional cur riculum will involve some additional cost, since not all of the De partments of the University are staffed adequately for the purposes of consultation and instruction. To the extent that the Laboratory needs and can make adequate use of consultants in a number of fields in which demands are made on us by industry, we shall undertake to aug ment the resources of these Departments. For example, consulting services and surveys in the field of Industrial Relations, with spe cific reference to job appraisal and fitness, employee morale and pro duction, and other aspects of the human equation in industry, merit much more attention, study and research than they have had at the hands of professional people. The work of the Harvard School of Busi ness Administration is a notable example of what can be done by com petent people in this field of study.
On the whole. It is estimated that the cost of our program of graduate training, including provision for fellowship funds not otherwise available, will rarely exceed $40,000,00 in any one year, and that an overhead charge of not more than 10 per cent of our ex perimental budget ($395,434.40 in 1950) to this purpose, would secure the educational program indefinitely. Actually the cost to be applied directly to the cost of any experimental project would not come to 10 per cent, but would be nearer to 5 per cent. It is not our inten tion to accumulate any special educational fund, but to distribute the cost of graduate instruction annually in such manner as to balance re ceipts and expenditures yearly.
Finally, it is our belief that an integrated program of
-9-
medical and hygienic services to industry, of investigative vork and of graduate instruction in the field of industrial health, is all of one piece; that these are related and complementary functions and that the separation of the one from the other in terms of function or expense is disadvantageous and unrealistic. Therefore, ve take pleas ure in offering this combination of functions to industry, as a proper service of this University to industry and to the community, at the actual cost that is required by a University organization to supply such services. Ve invite the present sponsors of the vork of the Laboratory to participate in this program, and request a response to this proposal, vith the intention, if there is general concurrence in the proposal, of modifying all agreements with subsequent sponsors, to include this expense.
