TU the en and Women of Research This year, niore than before, research played an important part in the work of the Unifversity. This year, far corners of the world looked to the University for help in solving problems that required diligent study and experimentation. The Medical School found niany more an- swers to the questions of the dreaded can- cer and polioniyelitis diseases. Studies in fertilizers were carried out on the A gri- cultural canipus. The Aeronautical de- partnient of the Institute of Technology experimented with the pressure suits for pilots. These are but a few instances of re- search-inany others exist. And the progress inade this past year did not corne easily. Patience and under- standing were required on the part of the inen and wornen who so painstak- ingly carried out the work-the work that resulted in great contributions to the world. So often the presentation of an iinpor- tant jinding outshines all else, including the discofverer. Some of the findings inade by the men and wonien who do research at our U nifoersity are just sniall scraps-- like tiny sections of a giant crossword puzzle. It niay take years to complete all of these puzzles. But still each little scrap is important to the jinished product. And so the work goes on-work car- ried on by unheralded laborers in a darkened held. It is ditgl-Clllf for the Uni- versity and the world to show their grateful appreciation for the iinportant contributions. And, therefore, it is with these thoughts in mind that we dedicate the 1947 Gopher-to the inen and wonien of research.
