SECOND INSTITUTE OF CHEMISTRY The Second Session of the Institute of Chemistry of the American Chemical Society will be held in Evanston, Illinois, from July 23 to August 18, 1928. Every effort is being made to arrange the lectures and conferences bf the Institute in such a way as to offer a unique service t o chemists, both industrial and academic. Suggestions will be gladly received by members of the Committee or by the Executive Secretary. The Committee in charge of the Institute ronsistr of N. E. Gordon, Chairman of the .4. C. S. Committee on Chemical Education, University of Maryland; B. S. Hopkins, Chairman of the Division of Chemical Education, A. C. S., University of Illinois; H. E. IIowe, Editor, Industrial and Engineering Chemistry and Head of the A. C. S. News Service. Washington. D. C.; C. E. K. Mees. Eastman Kodak Company; S. W. Parr, President of the American Chemical Society, University of Illinois; C. I,. Parsons, Secretary of the American Chemical Society, Washington, D. C.; C. M . A. Stine, E. I . du Pont dc Nemours & Company; G. I,. Wendt, The Pennsylvania State College; F. C. Whitmore. National Research Council: W. R. Whitney, General Electric Company; and F. W. Willard, Weytern Electric Company. The Executive Secretary will he C. D. Hurd, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. Following is a tentative list of subjects for conferences for the A. C. S. Institutp of Chemistry which will he held in Evanston, Illinois, from July 23 t o August 18, 1928. Snggestions and criticisms should be sent to F. C. Whirmore, National Research Council, Washington, D. C. There will be 25 conferences, arranged a t times when two and a half hours will be available for each. Thus, several conferences can be devoted to the same subject if it seems important enough to warrant this. One group of subjects will deal with the help which chemistry can give lor the better utilization of raw materials: (1) Agricultural products; (2) Coal; (3) Petroleum; (4) Metals; (5) Animal Products. Obviously, only certain aspects of these subjects can he covered. I n addition, certain miscellaneous subjects have been suggested for conferences: (6) Chemotherapy; (7) Disposal of municipal wastes; (8) Rubber; (9) Science and national defense; (10) Chemistry of life processes; (11) Synthetic "raw" materials; (12) Antioxidants; (13) Cellulose. Suggestions are needed regarding the special phases of these topics which can best be treated and regarding the best men t o lead the discussions. In no sense will the conferences be limited merely t o the subjects listed above. Suggestions of other subjects are earnestly sought.
