Helpful criticism of the psychological program was given on the 

 occasion of the partial presentation of our data at the 1914 meeting 

 of Experimental Psychologists at Columbia University and at the Phil- 

 adelphia meeting of the American Psychological Association, 1915. 



It was generally felt that the tentative plan filled a real need. The 

 principle of commencing a new alcohol research upon definitely organ- 

 ized lines was fully approved by practically all of the scientists with 

 whom we conferred. While the Nutrition Laboratory is committed to 

 a continuation of the investigation, and while definite arrangements 

 have been formulated to make the alcohol investigation, either on the 

 physiological side or on the psychological side, a substantial part of 

 each year's work, it is inconceivable that any one or a dozen laboratories 

 can adequately complete this program in a decade. Consequently, as 

 the published program clearly stated, it was presented with the hope 

 that it would suggest profitable lines of articulated research in a con- 

 siderable number of laboratories and institutions whose facilities and 

 interests particularly fit them for undertaking the various problems. 



In the tentative plan no suggestions were made for digesting the 

 literature of alcohol. The accumulation of scientific research upon the 

 physiology and psychology of alcohol has been in more or less active
