Graduates, Fellows. and Tivestigators—Inasmuch as the 
expansion of university work since the close of the war has 
been marked and the call for scientifically trained young men 
unusually strong, there have been, as might be expected, 
fewer applications for fellowships and graduate work than 
under pre-war conditions. Nevertheless, all fellowships and 
assistantships have been filled, and the work among candi- 
dates for degrees in the graduate laboratory is on a plane 
which indicates a return to pre-war conditions. There were 
registered for graduate work during the calendar year eleven 
students, as follows: G. M. Armstrong, Rufus J. Lackland 
research fellow; W. H. Chambers, Rufus J. Lackland re- 
search fellow; Adele Lewis Grant, teaching fellow, Washing- 
ton University ; Joanne L. Karrer, teaching fellow, Washing- 
ton University; Alexander Lurie, formerly horticulturist, 
Missouri Botanical Garden; R. A. McGinty, formerly Rufus 
J. Lackland research fellow; Takashi Matsumoto, formerly 
laboratory assistant, recently appointed professor of botany 
(on leave), Imperial College of Agriculture and Forestry, 
Morioka, Japan; E. B. Payson, Rufus J. Lackland research 
fellow; Henry Schmitz, formerly Rufus J. Lackland research
