Webb Institute of Naval Architecture, Glen Cove, N.Y., recently received a $5,000 grant from Texaco Inc.

Institute officials said that the contribution will be used for the general scholarship program to further its curriculum in naval architecture and marine engineering.

Vice Admiral Bryan, president of Webb, stated that "The Texaco Inc. contribution will be used to offset the unabated rise in Webb's costs and will help assure the continuation of our tuition-free policy." The grant was made on behalf of Texaco by James A. Cole Jr., vice president.
