NATIONAL COOPERATIVE UNDERGRADUATE CHEMICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM
THENetional Cooperative Undergraduate Chemical Research Program will be ten years old this fall; it was organized at the Fall Meeting of the American Chemical Society in St. Louis in 1948 with a listing of four projects. The objectives of the program are to stimulate undergraduate research interests, ta supply some data missing from the chemical literature, to offer industry opportunities to cooperate with colleges in interesting students in chemical careers, and to encourage the research interests of teachers in small colleges. A survey is being made of the 30 or more projects that have been offered,and a bibliography is being made of the student papers read and resulting publications. The projects for the 1958-59 school year are essentially the same as those listed for 1957-58:' ANALYTICAL PROJECTS
