Report Card

P:Endowed chairs in physical science paying some $20,000 a year will be established at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania and M.I.T. under terms of $500,000 grants made to each university last week by the Donner Foundation, set up in 1932 by the late William H. Donner (of Buffalo's Donner Steel Co.). The professorships will be the highest paying at Pennsylvania and M.I.T., and among the highest at the other three.

P:An information center to help U.S. schools and colleges--public and private --solve problems in planning, constructing and furnishing their buildings will start operating in July with a $4,500,000 grant from the Ford Foundation. President of the Educational Facilities Laboratories, Inc., announced this week: 48-year-old Harold Gores, superintendent of the top-rated Newton, Mass, schools. The goal, says Gores, is to cut building cost, so that "facilities needed in the decade ahead need not gobble up all the available money for education. The teacher is really much more important than the bricks." The center will give advice, and from time to time it will finance experimental construction that would be economically too risky for schools to attempt alone. The center will not respond, says Gores, to what he calls "LSMFT--Lord send money fast, thanks" requests.
