1959 NSF Summer Institutes for Teaching of Chemistry During the summer of 1959 the National Science Foundation will support 350 institutes for teachers of science and mathematics. Twenty-three of these stress only the suhject matter of chemistry. An additional 11institutes offer instruction in chemistry and one additional subjecteither biology or physics. There me numerous institutes which offer instruction in chemistry and two or more additional disciplimes. The National Science Foundation Summer Institute Brochure should be consulted for listing of these. Spaoe limitations d o w only tabulation and brief natations about chemistry institutes. Inquiries ahout specific institutes should be addressed to directors. Detailed comparative information about the several inatitntes will be mailable from the Committee on Institutes rand Confer-
