The requested and matching funds would be used to establish The Stanley Glaser Endowment at FIU. The Endowment would be managed by FIU, and income from the principal would support the following activities:

(1) The Stanley Glaser Eminent Scholars Chair in Electronics and Society at FIU; the Chairholder would spend a portion of time interacting with the research staff at the National Museum of American History.

(2) The Stanley Glaser Symposium in Electronics and Society, to be held in alternating years at FIU and Smithsonian Institution.

(3) Award of $100,000 annually for the Stanley Glaser Prize in Electronics and Society, in conjunction with the Symposium.

The Smithsonian Institution will participate in the selection of the Chairholder and Prize recipient and in planning the Symposium. The Institution will receive reimbursement for all direct costs associated with its participation in this collaboration as well as an indirect cost allowance which would be negotiated annually.

The Office of Public Service is in the final stages of negotiating the contract and budget for the "Buried Mirror" television series.

[[underline]] Contributing Membership Appeal for the Inventory of American Sculpture [[/underline]]

Plans are proceeding for a special appeal to Contributing Members for support of the nation-wide program of the National Museum of American Art to inventory all sculpture in private and public hands across the country. First letters are scheduled to be in the mail the second week of September. With the exception of the Castle renovation appeal (which netted in excess of $1 million), this appeal should prove more effective than any previous special appeals.

[[underline]] Courts and Colonies: The William & Mary Style in Holland, England and America [[/underline]]

In a joint effort to fund "Courts and Colonies," the Cooper-Hewitt and the Carnegie Museum of Art both have arranged six-figure gifts from corporate foundations (to the Cooper-Hewitt from the Shell Oil Company Foundation and to the Carnegie from the Alcoa Foundation) for this major exhibition and associated activities. Additional grants from a variety of British and Dutch corporations complete the $600,000 budget.
