MEETINGS
The Gordon Research Conferences are designed to extend the frontiers of science by fostering a free and informal e x c h a n g e of i d e a s a m o n g those actively involved in chemistry research or related fields. At each conference, meetings are held in the morning and evening, Monday through Friday, with the exception of Friday evening. The afternoons are available for recreation, reading, or participation in discussion groups. To promote discussion and to protect individual rights, no information presented at the conferences can be used without the specific authorization of the individual m a k i n g t h e contribution. Recording of lectures and photographing of slides are also prohibited. The unique concept of the conferences was established by Neil Gordon of the Johns Hopkins University in 1931. Gordon foresaw the importance of establishing direct communication among scientists in a setting t h a t removed distractions encountered at larger meetings. This y e a r 10 conferences are of p a r t i c u l a r i n t e r e s t to a n a l y t i c a l chemists: analytical chemistry; analytical pyrolysis; holography and optical signal processing; laser diagn o s t i c s in c o m b u s t i o n ; m a g n e t i c resonance; molten salts and liquid metals; nonlinear optics and lasers; reactive polymers, ion exchangers, and adsorbents; statistics in chemistry and chemical engineering; and three-dimensional electron microscopy of macromolecules. Technical programs for these follow. The fixed fee for resident participants is $480, which covers registration, room (double occupancy), and meals. The $440 fee for nonresident conferees covers r e g i s t r a t i o n a n d meals. The $390 guest fee includes room and meals only. If registration cards with advance payment are
