CONCLUSION 



discovered something \\ hich I already somehow suspected, namely, 

 that M.I.T., just like a living being, is an integrated system of struc- 

 tures and functions. As I am a physician, and as I am interested in 

 disease, I have tried to detect some sign of a pathological process. 

 But so far as I can see, M.I.T. is perfectly healthy. This is probably 

 because the problem of the induction and repression is solved by 

 some elaborate feedback mechanism, some powerful and efficient 

 repressor-operator system, which no macromolecule can resist. And 

 I should like to express my admiration for this institute, the de- 

 velopment of which has been so beautifully conceived by Karl 

 Taylor Compton.
