The original goal was an en- dowment of $100,000, and the incomeis to be used primarily for faculty travel and particiption in professional and scien- tific activities. Doc Bybeehad often deplored the sharp con- trast between travel funds available for company geologists and those for geology professors. Last year the Bybee fund approached its goal, and at the suggestion of the principal donor, thegoal wasraised to$200,000!

Owen-Coates Fund Last year George H. Coates of SanAntonio established an endowment of approximately $50,000 inhonor of his friend, Ed Owen, whohad been teachingregularly without pay in the UT Department of Geology. Ed accepted the tribute on con- dition that the fund benamed also for Coates. Previously,Mr. Coates had supported many graduate students and some fac- ulty research onthegeology of CentralTexas,askingin return only that the results of thestudies be publishedifpossible.It was agreed that the income from the Owen-Coates Fund should generally be awarded as terminal year grants to assist graduate students with completion and publication of their research. Lastspring- George Coates generously increased the endow- ment of the fund to approximately $100,000. Two or three Ph.D. candidates will hereafter be able to give full attention to their studies each year instead of working part-time.With the aid of Owen-Coates Fellowships they will graduate sooner and also put their materials into better shape for publication.

After goingthrough Galveston's public schools and BallHigh Wayne was born in Corsicana, Texas, September 11, on School, where she was valedictorian of her class, she entered 1916, and grew up there. After graduation fromhigh school The University of Texas and received her B.A. degree in University graduated he attended The of Texas wherehe was geology in 1915. Her brilliant record at Texas easily gained her a post, upon graduation, teaching science at Ball High. In the fallof 1916 she returned toThe Universityof Texas for twoyearsto teach and to conduct researchunder the guidance of Professors F.L. Whitney and HalP. Bybee.In the summer of 1918 she worked briefly atCisco, Texas,for Humble Oil & Refining Company, examiningPennsylvanian and Permian well cuttings. She was thus probably the first woman to do geological work for anoil company.In1918 she was a geology instructor at the University of Kansas and in1919 she worked as a geologist for the Kansas Geological Survey. In November 1920 Miss Ellisor was employed by Wallace Pratt to organize a paleontology laboratory at Humbles new Houston office. A few months after the laboratory was op- ened, she made the first discovery of foraminifera in well samples from the Gulf Coast. The samples came from a Humble well at Goose Creek which was drilled to a depth of more than 4000 feet, a deep well in those times.This was in- deed a fortuitous discovery, comingas early inher careeras it did,for it filled a longneeded want and immediately justified the existence of a commercial paleontological laboratory. Prior to this time the oil industry had to depend on the very insecure and unsatisfactory evidence of mega fossils or frag- ments thereof. A few years later she became Humbles first research stratigrapher andpaleontologist and in this work she continueduntilher retirementinApril1947. During her long and fruitful career with the Humble Com- pany, she published many papers on the stratigraphy and paleontology of theNorth American Gulf Coast.In 1925 she Leland Wayne Ashmore co-authored "Subsurface Stratigraphy of the Coastal Plains of Texas andLouisiana" withEstherRichards (nowMrs.PaulL. in1939 with a B.S. degree ingeology.He then entered the oil Applin) andHedwigKniker, with whomshe shared anapart- industry in the employ of Standard Oil Company of Califor- ment inHouston.
