McMaster Honored at Testimonial Dinner T h e present academic year completes a quarter of a century c*f service on t h e part of LeRoy McMaster as a member o f the f a c ulty of the Department of Chemistry of Washington University, St. Louis. A dinner was given at t h e University Club o f St. L o u i s on April 11 in celebration of the event, Professor and Mrs. M c Master being guests of honor. Assistant Chancellor W . E . McCourt of t h e university acted a s toastmaster. T h e speakers were Chancellor George R . Throop, who conveyed the felicitation of t h e university; R . L. Shriner, o f the University of Illinois, a former undergraduate and graduate student, w h o spoke in behalf of the alumni; C . A. iNaylor, a graduate student, formerly instructor in the Department o f Chemistry, who spoke for Professor McMaster's presort students ; and T . R. Ball, who offered t h e congratulations and appreciations of t h e chemistry faculty. Professor McMaster, who has been head of the department: since 1912, outlined the growth of the department during the 2 5 years of his connection with i t . H e came in 1906 a s an instructor, after receiving the P h . D . degree from Johns Hopkins University. While there he acted as Professor Remsen's research assistant. Professor McMaster's former students n o w occupy positions in t h e great educational institutions and industrial organizations from coast to coast, as well a s abroad. A great many of t h e m who were unable t o attend t l i e dinner sent congratulatory t e l e grams and letters, which gave untold pleasure and satisfaction t o the recipient. T h e guests included students, alumni, present and former m e m bers of t h e faculty of t h e Department of Chemistry, and t h e deans of t h e faculties of which Professor McMaster is a . member.

Western Reserve Announces Summer Sessions Tenney L. Davis, of t h e Division of Organic Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will be t î i e special lecturer in organic chemistry for t h e forthcoming summer session of Western Reserve University. Professor D a v i s will offer t w o courses of lectures. T h e first will be on the ''MecJbanism o f Organic Reactions," in whicfa. he will emphasize particularly t h e modern theories including t h e latest development in tfa.e field o f nitrogen derivatives which a r e his own particular interest. P i e will also give a course o n "The History of Chemistry,*" showing the rise a n d development of modern chemistry. Arrangements have been made again this year to enable t h e student to obtain a full year of organic chemistry. The first half of the course is offered in t h e first six weeks' session a n d the special three weeks* session covers the second half of t h e subject and follows immediately a t the close of t h e first session . It h a s been found that this intensified work gives tfcie student a m o r e thorough knowledge of organic chemistry than t h e longer course in the winter session. This is particularly v a l u able t o students of medicine and dentistry, and is being offered because of the very decided demand for this plan. I n addition, the department will offer t h e usual courses i n inorganic, analytical, organic, and physical chemistryProfessor Cleaveland will give a n e w course on '* Chemical Conversions by Means of Microorganisms," consisting o f lectures dealing with important chemical changes brought about through the agency of bacteria, yeasts, and molds. This i s offered because of the rapidly increasing importance o f fermentation processes i n industry.

Chlorine Shipped b y Airplane T h e disastrous earthquake which destroyed the city of Managua and its water-supply system created a n urgent need for chlorine for sterilizing and disinfecting, a s well as for antitoxin. A xush call t o t h e Philadelphia office of The Mathieson Alkali Works brought a special truck delivery of chlorine in the highly concentrated powder form of Η Τ Η to t h e R e d Cross plane, which flew t o Nicaragua with the much needed chlorine and aa-feitoxin. This is probably the first time that chlorine in any form has been transported b y airplane. I n another recent earthquake disaster i n N e w Zealand, chlorine in the form of Η Τ Η was also rushed to t h e stricken areas and helped t o check the outbreak of disease.
