The National Research Council was organized in 1916 by the National Academy of Sciences under its Congressional Charter at the request of President Woodrow Wilson in order "to stimulate research in the mathematics, physical, and biological sciences, and in the application of these sciences to engineering, agriculture, medicine and other useful arts, with the object of increasing knowledge, of strenthening the national defense, and of contributing in other ways to the public welfare." The membership of the National Research Council, numbering about 220, is composed largely of appointed representatives of approximately eighty-nine of the major scientific and technical societies of the century, together with representatives of government scientific bureas, and a limited number of members at large. Neither the national Academy of Sciences nor the Research Council receives appropriations directly from the government. |
