EDITORIALS 



This volu.re has exceeded, by about loo pages, the size origi- 



nally contemplated. The Biochemical Association has received 



sufficient gifts from generous friends to enable it to meet all the 



expenses of Publishing the first volume of the 

 This volume ^ ^, ,.,.., 



Bulletin, ihe work of editmg the volume 



has been exacting and continuous, but it has been a labor of love 



and a project of professional devotion. 



It is our hope that the Bulletin will steadily grow in the 



esteem of our colleagues and that it will merit the support of 



chemical biologists the world over. The expenses of the editorial 



Office have been paid by the editors personally, who will continue 



indefinitely in this work without editorial salaries or allowances 



for expenses. An enlarging list of subscribers, and free labor in 



the editorial office, will enable us, in succeeding years, to lower the 



subscription price to a nominal sum and to expand the annual volume 



to lüoo pages or more. We intend to present, with increasing 



ability we trust, as much biochemical substance of as great variety 



and value, in as little space and for as little money, as possible. A 



large group of young, enthusiastic and industrious biological chem- 



ists is earnestly dedicated to this professional Service. 



Our cordial thanks are extended to eacli and every colleague of 

 the many who have encouraged the establishment and are assisting 

 in the maintenance of the Biochemical Bulletin. That much of 

 Appreciation, invita- this assistance is an expression of personal 

 tion, quotation friendship, and that it has little to do with pro- 

 fessional expectations, is very clear to us. It is doubly appreciated 

 on that account. But to our many colleagues whose faith in the 

 professional Utility of the Bulletin is as strong as ours, and who 

 have forwarded personal items and other contributions for its 

 pages, we express not only the gratification we have already indi- 

 cated by letter to each, but also the hope that their spirit of Coopera- 

 tion will become infectious.
