Meetings
Gordon Conference on Analytical Chemistry The Gordon Research Conference on Analytical Chemistry, to be held Aug. 10-15 at the New England College in Henniker, NH, will focus on combinatorial chemistry. Gordon Research Conferences are designed to extend the frontiers of science by fostering a free and informal exchange of ideas among those actively involved in chemistry research or related fields. Lectures will be held in the morning or evening, leaving afternoons free for informal discussion reading, or recreation. In order to assemble a diverse group of scientists the Conference Chair reviews all applications and admits applicants on an ongoing basis. Attendance is limited to about 135 conferees and the deadline for receipt of applications is six weeks prior to the conference The fee for resident participants is $550, which covers registration, meals, and a double-occupancy room ($605 for single occupancy). The $475 fee for nonresident conferees covers only registration and meals. Guest fees are $380 (double occupancy) and $435 (single occupancy) and include room and meals. If registration cards and advance payment are postmarked at least three weeks prior 366 A
to the conference, these fees will be discounted by $50. Application forms and additional information can be obtained from the Gordon Research Conferences, University of Rhode Island, P.O. Box 984, West Kingston, RI02892-0984 (401-783-4011; fax 401783-7644;
