- Abstract: The National Research Council of National Academy of Sciences (NRC) was established in 1916 in response to the war-time need for scientific services, "in order to facilitate cooperation between governmental, educational, industrial and other research organizations". Carnegie Corporation was a principal war-time backer of NRC via the Carnegie Institution of Washington. This memorandum, written by G.E. Hale, who was the first NRC chairman (1916-1918), as well as the founder of the CIW-funded Mount Wilson Solar Observatory, advocates the continuing relevance of NRC, and urges the Corporation to provide it with building and endowment funds.
