The Biochemistry of Lysogeny 55 



precise determination, atom hy atom, of the molecular structure and 



the molecular function of the components of the living cell. Whereas 

 slavish devotion to minutiae in a painting may be aesthetically ques- 

 tionable, the inspired unraveling of molecular anatomy and molecular 

 physiology by the students from Dr. Clarke's department has proved 

 to be richly rewarding. 



The reader must find examples of the shining products of this school 

 in other essays in this book, but it is hoped that this one may not be 

 without some value as an example of how to — or how not to — grope in 

 a brand-new field.
