Leo Kaplan. He has prepared a fungi extract which has been tested at various clinics and is being analyzed for sensitivity in hopes of making new extracts stronger and more specific as to strength value. In conjunction with the project a new method of chemical precipitation of active material has been developed by Dr. Kaplan and a survey of fungi spores is being made. gy, - , .W,..,uw-swmff-N ...N ' sf . f .X as QWQ , .V a . fl f X ,,.L -1 c 5 ev 2 K Y' W X fi. . f Q X s . ,xi .s - .

The fountainhead from which springs know- ledge, research is the foundation for education. In the modern society of inventive creation, the processes of detection, recognition, understanding and interpretation are funda- mental. Through delving into the secrets of natureg through deciphering the intricacies of historical experienceg through observing pres- ent activity, basic truths may be determined. Then may contributions he made to store of permanent information. - I L . vmxig V Working unrler a grant from tlze American Cancer Society. tlie mierolaiology rlepartment is stzalying respiration fle- jiciencies in yeast-the inalnility of certain yeasts to respire naturally. It is the crucial mozlel problem for tlze study of cancer cells. Dr. Maurice Ogzir and research assistant Ralph St. ,,0l1II are pietureil ll'l.llI a Warburg: Respirator, a alevice for measuring the breatlzfing' of yeasts. Research at Southern has seen its greatest period of expansion during the past seven years, paralleling the Universityis development. Research projects, now an integral portion ofthe responsibility of many departments, are made possible not only through University facilities but also through grants from industry and government. It is playing an important role in increasing Southernis stature as a University and fostering closer con- tact with industry and other institutions. It is fundamental to an educational system. r MW EW P ' v ' ' WN! : e X Q-. ft ,, afff V t ref' ,, 'X iff X , sn ,ffWf.a-- , .ala fig fwfr! at ff' ' ff' 'tt at 1 t 5' ff t 3:11.
