 ceive the prize.

 ever, provided the paper or any part of it is not published elsewhere 

 before the award is f ormally announced ; but the prize may not be

" 5. The Managing Editor of the Biochemical Bulletin,, with 

 the advice of the members of the Executive Committee of the Co- 

 lumbia University Biochemical Association, shall have authority to

 meritorious to Warrant the award of the prize for that volume; but 

 in any such event the prize for the succeeding volume, or volumes,

 announce and execute all plans desirable or necessary for the attain- 

 ment of my purpose in this matter, in accord with the conditions

"If, in the judgment of the Executive Committee of the Colum- 

 bia University Biochemical Association, by the time of the fifth 

 award, the prize will have accomplished, to a reasonable degree, the 

 purpose of its establishment, it will give me pleasure to consider the 

 continuance and enlargement of the Kronecker Biochemical Prize, 

 on the basis of an endowment to be placed under the management 

 of the Columbia University Biochemical Association." 



It will be impossible suitably to award the Kronecker Biochem- 

 ical Prize before its existence is widely known. Plans for the exe- 

 cution of the donor's purpose will be developed at an early date and 

 announced in the next few issues of the Biochemical Bulletin.
