It is our purpose and the philosophy of this department to present subject material most useful to the practicing physician and, in these times, most vital to the national de- fense. This statement represents the driving force behind one of the more dynamic groups in our university. Those who studied this course not too many years ago would hardly recognize it as taught today. True, the bugs and bacteria have remained the same, but emphasis has changed and will continue to change as more and better drugs are discovered and as new facts emerge from the laboratory and from the bed-side. Bac-T has doubled its floor space, particularly in the Bressler Building, in tile past 2 years; has expanded its research program ami facilities; has actively encour- ragcd student summer-fellowships; and has now reached a position in whicii it can take on graduate students. Behind tiie maze of animal cages and in- cubator rooms, a wealth of active research is p roceeding steadily forward — arthrojiod- borne viruses and their immunization sched- ules; basic studies in rickettsiae and tulare- mia; viral and rickettsial metabolism; aspects of bacterial cytology and mycology; physio-
