(8) That the following payment be recommended to those
scholars who accept invitations to participate and do a
specified piece of work, or submit a specified contribution
in the International Congress of Arts and Science: For
traveling expenses for a European scholar, $500. For
traveling expenses for an American scholar, $150.
(9) That provision be made for the publication of the
proceedings of the Congress in suitable form to constitute a
permanent memorial of the work of the World's Fair for the
promotion of science and art, under competent editorial
supervision.
(10) That an appropriation of $200,000 be made to cover
expenses of the Department of Congresses, of which sum
$130,000 be specifically appropriated for an International
Congress of Arts and Science, and the remainder to cover all
expenses connected with the publication of the proceedings
of said International Congress of Arts and Science, and the
expenses for promotion of all other congresses.
In addition to the foregoing recommendations, Professor Münsterberg was
requested at his earliest convenience to furnish each member with a
revised plan of his classification, which would reduce as far as
possible the number of sections into which the Congress was finally to
be divided.
With the adjournment of the Board on January 19 the Congress may be
fairly said to have been launched upon its definite course, and such
changes as were thereafter made in the programme did not in any wise
affect the principle upon which the Congress was based, but were due to
the demands of time, of expediency, and in some cases to the accidents
attending the participation. The organization of the Congress and the
personnel of its officers from this time on remained unchanged, and the
history of the meeting is one of steady and progressive development. The
Committee on Plan and Scope were discharged of their duties, with a vote
of thanks for the laborious and painstaking work which they had
accomplished and the thoroughly scientific and novel plan for an
international congress which they had recommended.
