(_] Checkfor yourself A Revolt against Time and Sharper separation with any ELECTROPHORESIS SYSTEM Effort Reports (Including the new SsS) 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, as the presidents of AAU had expressed interest in working with the AGS in im- «teased NO. 2500 MEMBRANE Customers tell us S&S No. 2500 Membranes are Superior in clarity to the others they have tested, and their handling characteristics can only be termed as excellent, Pure cellulose acetate.

Separation of individual bands is clear and distinct. Only a short time is required for electrophoresis and evaluation. Image is sharp.
