today’s views

I believe the following considerations should be brought to the attention of the academic scientific community. They concern time and effort
reports required in connection with
government research grants. In October
1966, the Association of Graduate
Deans passed the following resolution:

Handbook of

Experimental Immunology

—Weir
NEW! 30 world authorities present an ailinclusive laboratory handbook complete

with

Be it resolved that the Association of
Graduate Schools instruct its President to
call upon the Association of American
President of the United States our respectful requests: 1. that the present requirement for reporting of effort by individual
members of the professional staff be suspended immediately because it admits no

meaningful compliance.
This

resolution

is

reproduced

The earlier motion on individual effortreporting had proposed involving CGS in
the attempt to get a revision, and had not
proposed immediate suspension of the
present requirement while negotiations |
were being undertaken. Dean Halford
feared that if negotiations alone were
proposed the results would be delayed
two to four years, and that AGS had the
most at stake in this area whereas most of
the institutions in CGS were not deeply

involved

in

this

problem.

Furthermore,

interest in working with the AGS in im-

is clear and distinct. Only a short time is required

classic in immunological methods!
This book provides up-to-date information
on the theory and practice of the newer
immunological techniques, outlining principles, advantages and limitations of each
procedure, with a detailed description of
techniques recommended by the author.
Subjects range from methods for studying immunoglobulins, their isolation and
properties, to procedures for extracting
antigens from bacteria, viruses and tissues.
Detailed consideration is given to a wide
range of techniques for demonstrating and
studying antigen-antibody reactions and to
methods for the study of cellular immuni-
