At the meeting of the American Psycho- 

 logical Association at Princeton in 1921, there 

 was constituted a Section of Conaulting Psy- 

 chologists to represent persons able to carry on 

 the applications of psychology at a recognized 

 scientific level. Up to the present, the mem- 

 bership in this section has been restricted to 

 members of the Section of Clinical Psychology. 

 Applications for membership to the Section 

 of Consulting Psychologists can now be re- 

 ceived from all members of the American 

 Psychological Association who are engaged in 

 the applications of psychology. The com- 

 mittee in charge will act upon these applica- 

 tions at the next annual meeting of the asso- 

 ciation. For further information address the 

 representative of the committee, Dr. F. L. 

 Wells, 74 Fenwood Road, Boston, Mass. 



The Wintersteiner Collection of 13,000 micro- 

 scopical preparations of eye pathology has' 

 been acquired by the St. Louis University 

 through the generosity of Mr. Charles Reb- 

 stook, of St. Louis. This collection, which is 

 said to be the most complete in Europe, will be 

 utilized for graduate instruction in ophthal- 

 mology. 



It is proposed to build an observatory on 

 the top of the Jungfrau. The Swiss Mete- 

 orological Bureau has carefully studied the 

 proposal, and decided that should the observa- 

 tory be erected it ought to be placed on the 

 Sphinx rock. The rock stands above the 

 Jungfraujock at the height of 11,721 feet, 388 

 feet higher than the Jungfraujock railway sta- 

 tion. The observatory, which would be intend- 

 ed for meteorological observation, should, 

 owing to its altitude, prove important and use- 

 ful. Its construction, however, would involve 

 a great expense, but it is hoped that the state 

 and the scientific bodies of Switzerland will 

 contribute towards its erection. 



It is stated in Nature that the British Re- 

 search Association for the Woolen and Worsted 



Industries announce the following awards of 

 research fellowships and advanced scholarships 

 for the year 1922-23: Mr. G. W. Chester, 

 Liverpool, £200 to conduct research on wool 

 fats at the University of Manchester ; Mr. John 

 L. Raynes, Nottingham, £100 to conduct re- 

 search on the bleaching of wool at the Uni- 

 versity College of Nottingham; Mr. George 

 Barker, Baildon, £100, to conduct research on 

 the action of water on wool as regards strength, 

 elasticity, lustre, dyeing properties, etc., at the 

 University of Leeds. Scholarships have been 

 granted to Mr. Arthur Banks, Sutton Mill, 

 Keighley, tenable at Bradford Technical Col- 

 lege; and Mr. William B. Elliot, Wellington 

 Road, Hawick, tenable at the South of Scotland

The Journal of the American Medical Asso- 

 ciation states that a deputation received on 

 July 13 by the British minister of health laid 

 before him the present status of graduate med- 

 ical education in London. The committee ap- 

 pointed by Dr. Addison, former minister of 

 liealth, recommended that an institute or col- 

 lege of hygiene be established in London. This 

 has been made possible by the munificent gift 

 of the Rockefeller Foundation, and furthered 

 by a promise from the minister of health of 

 an annual grant of £25,000 for upkeep. A site 

 has been selected and other arrangements are 

 in progress. It was further recommended that 

 a graduate medical school be established to 

 serve as a center of a great teaching organiza- 

 tion, in which the special hospitals of London, 

 the Poor Law infirmaries and the medical 

 schools, with their clinical units and research 

 departments, v.'ould all find their place. It 

 advised that, as an integral part of the organ- 

 ization, there should be a bureau or central 

 offlee controlled by a committee of management 

 and providing a library, a hostel and full facili- 

 ties for social intercourse. Nothing has been 

 done to advance this second recommendation, 

 and it is on this point that the deputation made 

 representations to the minister. The president
