Cellular activities; the other gives aid over three years to researches under Professor M. V. Visscher on the mechanism of osmosis in living systems. To the Johns Hopkins University a four-year appropriation was made for a group program on the chemical structure of biologically important compounds. To Oxford University funds were voted to build an extension to the research laboratory of organic chemistry under Sir Robert Robinson. The five appropriations in this group totaled $197,875.’ A second group of appropriations emphasized the application of physics to biological problems. Funds were given to Washington University, St. Louis, to construct a cyclotron which will be used in biological and medical experimentation; and a three-year grant was made to Professor Lawrence’s group in support of similar activities at the University of California. A three-year grant to the University of Chicago is assisting studies in molecular spectra, under Professor R. S. Mulliken. The Memorial Hospital of New York received a grant covering three years, for research in the spectroscopic aspects of anemia, under Dr. C. P. Rhoads. The four grants in this group totaled $149,000. Two grants were made in the field of genetics. The University of Missouri, where there has been an important recent development in this subject, was assisted in building a research laboratory of genetics, and was given a five-year grant toward its research program. An appropriation covering five years was made to Brown University to aid the genetics researches of Professor P. B. Sawin. These two grants totaled $109,000. A five-year grant to the biology group at Amherst College also involved support of genetics, as well as of experimental embryology and growth studies. Such’ assistance to groups or departments, in contrast to support of specific projects, has been an important part of the division’s program. Thus during 1939 a ten-year grant was made in support of research in biology at Stanford University. Also involving assistance to a group activity was a grant in support of the Cold Spring Harbor symposia on quantitative biology. The appropriations in this classification totaled $242,500. Emphasis on several interests of the Foundation was included in a grant of $224,000 in support of further activities of the Yale Laboratories of Primate Biology. A minor portion of this sum covered the cost of erecting and equipping a small new physiological laboratory at Orange Park, Florida, where there are already located extensive facilities for breeding and rearing chimpanzees for research purposes. The remainder of the grant will contribute, over a five-year period, to the support of a general program in which these. animals, so close to man in many important regards, are to be utilized in the study of a wide range of physiological, psychobiological, neurological, nutritional, serological and biochemical problems. In addition to these appropriations, funds were voted to the National Research Council in support of its general budget (61,956.54) and of its fellowship program ($180,000). Once during the year an appropriation was made for a purpose somewhat removed from the program of the Foundation in the natural sciences under its policy of concentration. Political interference in Germany having threatened the integrity of the leading world journal for abstracting mathematical literature, a grant was given to the American Mathematical Society to aid in the founding of such a journal in the United States. The editorial offices of this new journal are at Brown University. A second grant was made for the establishment of a microfilm laboratory at Brown, through which an important microfilm service in mathematics has been set up in conjunction with the new journal. These two grants totaled $61,500.
