A much broader program of scientific research is required from Federal, State, local and academic agencies, which have already made important contributions...
Through the grants of the Automotive Foundation this program has been refined and expanded to a point commensurate with current requirements. The fifteenth annual fellowships have drawn the best young engineering brains from all parts of the country into traffic engineering and administration. These men are then returned to administrative positions where they can give practical effect to the principles they have learned and where they may in turn become practical teachers of their administrative associates. Twenty-seven students graduated by the Harvard Bureau all held important traffic control positions, justifying the belief that American cities and states are eager...
