The National Science Foundation will sponsor 350 summer institutes at 255 educational institutions this year. Most of the institutes will be for high‐school teachers of science and mathematics, but some will be open to college teachers only and others will accept both high‐school and college teachers. Tuition and fees will be paid by the Foundation and each participating teacher will receive a stipend of not more than $75 per week for the duration of the institute, plus an allowance for travel and dependents. The summer programs will vary in length from four to twelve weeks and the participants will be chosen by the individual institutes. Approximately 14% of the 350 institutes are listed as being under the direction of representatives of the physics departments of the host institutions; these summer institutes and their directors are given below and all inquiries should be addressed to them:
