Danforth 'of St. Louis as a philanthropy devoted to giving aid and encouragement to persons, to emphasizing the humane values that come from a religious and democratic heritage, and to strengthening the essential quality of education. The Foundation seeks to serve these purposes through activity in education and urban affairs. In education, particular emphasis is placed upon secondary and higher education in the United States and especially on the liberal arts and sciences. In urban affairs, priority is given to the support of efforts, largely in the St. Louis area, in the fields of employment, education and housing. The Foundation is both an operating and grant-making agency; that is, it makes grants to schools, colleges, universities and other public and private agencies, and also administers programs designed to reflect its central emphases. GRE Hears, Seniors Note! A deadline nears to apply for the Graduate Records Examinations, the next step after a Bachelor's degree for students en route to graduate school and higher laurels. Weber has recently been selected to administer testing to seniors who may want to extend their studies for Master's and Doctorate degrees. Although Weber has no Master's program, sound reasons are advanced for taking the test here. Firstly, once you have completed the test, that is a hurdle eliminated towards obtaining advanced degrees. Second, most people have a tendency to for-stall action ... in this case, stalling too long will make you "rusty". Deadline for registering for the exam this year is December 10; the tests will be administered on January 18. Registration may be made at Annex 1. The tests are broken down into two series: the Aptitude test, and the Advanced (area) test. The examinations are split into morning and afternoon sessions. A fee of $8 is charged for the aptitude test; $9 is charged for each area test. One of each may be taken for a $15 charge. For seniors applying for stipends and grants after receiving bachelor's degrees, the completion of the tests are a must. The area tests will correlate with you major; the aptitude test is an examination of your best abilities.
