Bureau of Social Hygiene. The
Rockefeller
Foundation over the past five years has appropriated
a total of 3370,000. This program
of research combines several of the leading interests
of the Foundation's program in the natural
sciences, bringing a wide variety of precise techniques
to bear on problems central to an understanding
of the endocrinological, physiological,
and behavioral aspects of sex phenomena. This
committee has aided in the development of
several strong centers of research on the endocrinological
aspect of the general problem. The

these centers are now

committee is gradually relieving itself of responsibility
for the centers and shifting the main interest
of its own activity to the behavioral aspects
of sex phenomena.
