<br />economics at Vanderbilt University. He was replaced by \Verner Z. <br />Hirsch, who joined the staff on a one-year appointment while on leave of <br />absence from his regular post as associate professor of economics at \Vash- <br />ington University, St. Louis) Missouri. Both shifts are in line with the <br />Resources for the Future policy of interchanging personnel with universi- <br />ties. Late in the program year Edward A. Ackerman, director of water <br />resources studies, announced his resignation effective in October, 1958, to <br />become assistant executive officer of the Carnegie Institution of \Vashing- <br />ton. He will be succeeded by Irving K. Fox wbo since 1955 has been a <br />member of the water resources research group. <br />- The activities of the past year are described in some detail in the <br />remainder of this report. Most of the work, including that supported by <br />grant, was in the five fields for which there are staff research groups: <br />water (pages 12-26), minerals and energy (pages 27--40), land use and <br />management (pages 41-57), regional studies (pages 58~72), and resources <br />and national growth (pages 73-83). The rest of the program consisted of <br />(1) education as such, rather than in connection with a particular type of <br />resource (pages 84-87), and (2) special projects, including the hroad re- <br />sources appraisal (pages 88-91). Under each of the first five headings, one <br />project has been treated in some detail. These examples have been chosen <br />on the basis of intrinsic interest and suitability to condensed presentation. <br />They do not necessarily represent the chief activity in each research field <br />during the year. <br />In the sections that follow specific mention is made of only those staff <br />and grant projects that were begun, completed) or otherwise advanced to <br />a definitely new stage during the year. A number of important continuing <br />projects are therefore either not listed or merely noted in the Financial <br />Statements under the heading of previous grants and research agreements. <br />- During the 1959 program year we hope to substantially complete the <br />schedule planned in 1954 when the organization was established with the <br />support of The Ford Foundation. The new grant from the Foundation <br />will strengthen our current grant-making capacity, and will enable Re- <br />sources for the Future) without any break in continuity, to look further <br />ahead to other urgently needed programs of research and education. <br />Fundamental research, largely in the social sciences, will continue to have <br />a high priority. We also hope to do more than hitherto has been feasible <br />in analysis of resources policies and in presenting some of our research <br />findings to wider) more general audiences. In carrying out the new program <br />we contemplate no significant change in the present level of staff activity. <br />\Ve believe that most of the additional work under a somewhat expanded <br />budget can best be done through granLo; and research agreements. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />II <br />
