appropriated 312,500 for use during the year beginning
July 1, 1935, and $37,500 for use during
the three-year period beginning July 1, 1936. At
Leland Stanford there has been developed an
exceptionally
effective unit for the chemophysical
attack upon important biological problems.
This group does work on bioelectric
phenomena, on ultra-violet irradiation, on developmental
mechanics, on bacterial chemistry
and pigments, and on cell metabolism and development.
The individual interests of the group
are sufficiently distinct to preclude undue overlapping,
yet the training, common objectives,
and compatibility of the men are such as to insure
effective collaborative activity. A number of
air-conditioned laboratories particularly suited
to the work in hand have been provided. Teaching
schedules are planned to permit frequent exchanges
of staff investigators between the campus
and the Hopkins Marine Station, thereby
fitting together the work and the interests of
both centers. Professor C. V. Taylor is professor
of biology at the university and associate director
of the Hopkins Marine Station at Pacific
Grove.
