570 Biochemical News, Notes and Comment [June 



Dr. Harry L. Fisher has resigned his instructorship in organic 

 chemistry at Cornell Medical College to accept a similar position in 

 the chemical department at Columbia (page 574). 



Miscellaneous notes. We have received a copy of the hand- 

 somely illustrated pamphlet on "The Daniel Baugh Institute of 

 Anatomy of the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia," con- 

 taining a history of its foux'dation," a " description of the building," 

 a " Statement of its adaptability to teaching anatomy " and an 

 account of the dedication exercises," with floor plans, etc. An- 

 atomy at Jefferson Medical College has always flourished and has 

 been abreast of the times from the days of Nathan Smith, its first 

 Professor of anatomy, through the periods of his worthy successors, 

 George and Samuel McClellan, Granville Sharp Pattison, Joseph 

 and William Pancoast, and William S. Forbes, to the present era 

 under the leadership of the distinguished director of the new 

 Institute, Prof. Edward Anthony Spitzka. 



Dr. William N. Berg has lately been engaged in a study of the 

 digestibility of immature veal, i. e., veal less than three weeks old. 

 It is illegal to seil such veal and the object of the work is to find 

 out, if possible, whether there is any other than an esthetic justifi- 

 cation for the law.
