Brooklyn Polytech Schedules Intensive Summer Courses A scries of intensive one- and twoweek courses in the use of specialized tools in chemistry and physics will be offered this summer by the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. A two-week course in Industrial Application of X-Ray Diffraction will be given from May 29 to June 9. This will cover the equivalent of a sixcredit lecture and laboratory graduate course. Studies will be made at high and low temperatures, using either photographic or direct recording devices. Advanced techniques can be included by special prior arrangement. A one-week course in Applied Infrared Spectroscopy, from June 5 to 9, will deal with applying IR techniques to problems of qualitative identification. The course will be conducted daily from 9:30 to 8 P.M. Laboratory sessions will emphasize manipulations and interpretation, and will include demonstrations of commercial instruments. Xo previous experience will be assumed, but here again advanced work can be specially arranged. Polarography and Related Techniques will be the subject of a third course, to be given from June 5 to 9. It will include a summary of theory of polarography and other voltammetric methods that are closely related, as well as an introduction to the use of modern electrolytic and eoulometric techniques in research and analysis. Laboratory sessions will feature application of apparatus. Previous experience with polarography is not required. Inquiries regarding these courses should be addressed to Airs.

The 12th annual Fisk University Infrared Spectroscopy Institute will be held at Fisk University, Xashville, Tenn. from Aug. 23 to Sept. 1. Plans call for conducting a first infrared session and a gas chromatography session concurrently from Aug. 23 through Aug. 2(5. Lectures of these two programs will be scheduled so that persons selecting either the infrared or chromatography course can audit many lectures in the other program. The second infrared session will run from Aug. 28 through Sept. 1. The first IR session is designed es-
