present will be located at the Salters' Hall, St. 

 Swithin's-lane, E.C. This first business will 

 be the appointment of a director, who must 

 possess an exceptional knowledge of scientific 

 and industrial chemistry. Among other 

 thing's, the director will make arrangements 

 between manufacturers and students and uni- 

 versities for the investigation of any par- 

 ticular problems requiring research, and give 

 practical advice and information to those who 

 are, or intend to become, industrial chemists, 

 and especially to men whose careers have been 

 interrupted or affected by naval, military, or 

 national service. The Salters' Company will 

 establish two types of fellowships for which 

 post-graduate students of any recognized uni- 

 versity will be eligible. The two classes are 

 (a) fellowships to enable post-graduate stu- 

 dents to continue their studies at an approved 

 university or other institution under the gen- 

 eral supervision of the director, (6) industrial 

 fellowships to enable suitably equipped chem- 

 ists to carry on research for any particular 

 manufacturer, under an agreement which will 

 be entered into between the institute, the 

 manufacturer, and the fellow. Grants in aid 

 may also be made to a certain number of 

 persons who desire to improve themselves in 

 the knowledge of their particular work by at- 

 tending technical establishments or evening 

 classes, at which they can obtain a better grasp 

 of their subject. 



At the session of the American Medical As- 

 sociation last June, a petition signed by a 

 large number of the leading neurologists and 

 psychiatrists of the United States and Canada 

 was presented to the board of trustees, asking 

 that the association publish a journal to be 

 devoted to nervous and mental diseases, on a 

 plan similar to that on which the Archives of 

 Internal Medicine and the American Journal 

 of Diseases of Children are published. The 

 board held the matter under advisement until 

 its October meeting, at which time it acted 

 favorably on the petition, and authorized the 

 pu:blication of such a journal. The journal 

 will be known as the Archives of Neurology 

 and Psychiatry. The following were appointed 



as the editorial board : Dr. Pearce Bailey, New 

 York, adjunct professor and assistant pro- 

 fessor of neurology at Columbia University 

 College of Physicians and Surgeons, New 

 York Dr. Augustus Hoch, now of Montecito, 

 Calif., formerly professor of clinical medicine, 

 department of psycho-pathology at Cornell 

 University Medical College; Dr. Hugh T. 

 Patrick, Chicago, clinical professor of nervous 

 and mental diseases. Northwestern Univer- 

 sity Medical School; Dr. E. E. Southard, 

 Boston, professor of neurology. Medical School 

 of Harvard University; Dr. Frederick Tilney, 

 professor of neurology, Columbia University 

 College of Physicians and Surgeons, New 

 York Dr. T. H. Weisenburg, Philadelphia, 

 professor of neuro-pathology and clinical neu- 

 rolog'y, University of Pennsylvania School of 

 Medicine. 



UNIVERSITY AND EDUCATIONAL 

 NEWS 



A GIFT of $100,000 to the University of 

 Chicago for the erection of a building, pref- 

 erably an administration building, was an- 

 nounced at the One Hundred and Ninth Con- 

 vocation, the donor being Andrew MacLeish, 

 vice-president of the vmiversity board of trus- 

 tees. This is but one of a long list of bene- 

 factions for which the university is indebted 

 to Mr. MacLeish. 



Since building restrictions have been re- 

 moved by the government, the erection of a 

 number of new buildings, long in contempla- 

 tion for the University of Tennessee, probably 

 will be begun shortly. 



One of the engineering buildings at the 

 Pennsylvania State College was recently de- 

 stroyed by fire, affecting the departments of 

 industrial and mechanical engineering. A new 

 building was just being completed and a sec- 

 ond one has been begun. Temporary provision 

 has been made for a forge shop and the steam 

 engineering laboratory. Plans for other per- 

 manent buildings are being considered.
