Transportation New Xondon, N. H., is located on the cross-state highway, Route 11, 100 miles from Boston a n d 130 miles from Springfield, M a s s . The White Mountains are approximately 75 miles from t h e college. Concord, the state capital, is 3 5 miles to the southeast and Hanover ( D a r t m o u t h College > is the same distance to t h e northwest. T w o routes are available to t h e college IDV train. From Boston, those attending the conferences should take the Boston a n d Maine Railroad (North Station) t o Potter Place, N . IT., which is located -eight miles from New London by automobile. From New York City and the W e s t , New London is reached via Springfield, Mass., and Claremont Junction, N_ H. Claremont Junction is approximately 25 miles from New London. If air t r a v e l is desired, Concord, N. H., is the nearest airport (35 miles from N e w London ) and is served b y Northeast Airlines. Limited bus transportation is available froxn Boston and Springfield, Mass., to Potter Place and Claremont, N. IT. Taxi service is available at Potter Place and Clairemont Junction, w i t h special rates for conference members. New Hampton, N .

N e w H a m p t o n is located at t h e geographical center o f the state. In order to reach the school f>y train, the most satisfactory route available is from Boston via t h e Boston and Marine Railroad ( N o r t h Station) to Franklin or Laconia, N. H . T h e school is 16 miles from Franklin a n d 12 miles from 1047
MEETINGS AND PROGRAMS Laconia. Air travel is available to and from Concord, N. H., on Northeast Airlines. Bus transportation is available from Boston. Transportation will b e available a t both Franklin and Laconia, with special rates for conference members. Purpose The conferences were established to stimulate research in universities, research foundations, and industrial laboratories. This purpose is achieved by an informal type of meeting consisting of t h e scheduled lectures and free discussion groups. Sufficient time is available to stimulate informal discussions a m o n g the members of the conference. Meetings a r e h e l d in t h e morning and in t h e evening, Monday tiirough Friday, with t h e exception of Friday evening. Tbe afternoons are available for recreation, reading, resting, or participation in discussion groups as tinindividual desires. This type of meeting is a valuable means of disseminating information and ideas which otherwise would not b e realized through t h e normal channels of publication and scientific meetings. In addition, scientists in related fields become acquainted and valuable associations formed w h i c h have resulted in collaboration and cooperative efforts between different laboratories. It is hoped that each conference will extend the frontiers of science b y fostering a free a n d informal exchange of ideas between persons actively interested i n the subjects under discussion. T h e p u r p o s e of t h e program is not to review t h e known fields of chemistry, but primarily to bring experts up to date as to t h e latest developments, analyze the significance of these developments, and to provoke suggestions a s to the underlying theories a n d profitable methods of approach for making new progress. In order to protect individual rights and to promote discussion, it is an established requirement of e a c h conference that all information presented is not U> be used without specific authorization of the individual making t h e contribution, whether in formal presentation or in discussion. Scientific publications are not prepared as emanating from t h e conferences. Registration and Reservations Individuals interested in attending the conferences are requested t o s e n d in their applications to the director, on or before April 20, 1950. Each applicant must state t h e institution or company with w h i c h he is associated a n d t h e t y p e of work in which he is most interested. Attendance a t each conference is limited to 100. The director will s u b m i t the n a m e s of those requesting a t t e n d a n c e to t h e conference committee for each conference. This committee will review t h e names and select t h e members in an effort t o distribute the requests as widely as possible a m o n g the various institutions a n d laboratories r e p r e sented. T h e names selected will b e re-

A d v a n c e registration b y m a i l for each conference is required. On receipt of t h e c o m p l e t e d registration c a r d a n d a deposit of $ 2 5 m a d e p a y a b l e to t h e Gordon Research Conferences, A A AS, r e g istration will be completed. The deposit of $25 will cover the registration fee of $15 (except for a c a d e m i c individuals a n d students o n personal e x p e n s e w h o m a y apply for a reduction o f $5.00), the b a l ance to h e credited a g a i n s t subsistence expenses at t h e conference.

Meals served in the dining room will be cl larged at t h e rate of $5.75 per day p e r person. An -cllort will be made to reduce these rates if warranted b y economic: conditions. T e n per cent is a d d e d to cuch b i l l to provide for all gratuities. Members attending a conference are e x p e c t e d to live at t h e conference. If special c i r c u m s t a n c e s w a r rant living elsewhere, a. charge o f $1.00 per day will be m a d e t o assist with t h e financial support of the conferences. T h e special reduction of 75 cents per day to members a t t e n d i n g a conference at p e r sonal expense h a s b e e n discontinued b y the management committee.

Just as Corning makes the most complete line of standard laboratory glassware available anywhere in the world, it also has on file thousands of special apparatus drawings for quick reference. Hence, the answer to your particular problem may be on file since accuraterecords have been maintained of every special requirement for years. And the skill that it takes to convert drawings into finished equipment is always on tap. This experience is bound to reflect itself in practical design at reasonable cost. So, regardless of how complicated your problem may appear, it will be to your advantage to contact Corning for recommendations. This involves no obligation to you in the least. If the problem is relatively simple, one that might be solved with minor changes in standard apparatus, you may wish to tackle the job yourself. If so, you will find the "Laboratory Glass Blowing Manual" helpful. It contains many practical suggestions for working PYREX and VYCOR glasses. Write to Corning for your copy.
