Student Program for t h e Baltimore Meeting HE Division of Chemical Education is arranging a Student Session at the Baltimore meeting, similar to the one which proved so successful at Dallas. This will consist principally of a series of papers by present students of chemistry, graduate, undergraduate, and high school. Contributions to this program may be sent to the secretary of the division, N. W. Rakestraw, Department of Chemistry, Brown University, Providence, R. I., who asks the cooperation of members of the SOCIETY in passing this information on to students who may be interested in taking part. Students may register at the meeting at the same rate as members of the SOCIETY. Headquarters for students will be at the Southern Hotel, Baltimore, where arrangements have been made for dormi tory accommodations at a reduced rate. If students from any one institution wish to be quartered together they may make reservations as a unit. A few of the older members of the SO CIETY will also speak on subjects of general student interest. The regular Student Breakfast will be sponsored by the groups of Student
