Preliminary A n n o u n c e m e n t N December, 1925, the organic chem ists met in Rochester, Ν. Y., and held the First Symposium on Organic Chem istry. I t was highly successful, and was followed by interesting and stimulating symposia at Columbus, Princeton, New Haven, and Ithaca. This year the sym posium returns to Rochester, Ν. Υ., in celebration of ten years of Organic Symposia. The Rochester arrangements are in charge of Erie M. Billings, of the Eastman Kodak Co. The program for the symposium this year is t o be composed of well-rounded discussions of a particular field in which the speaker is interested. Summarizing reviews of the status of a particular line of investigation will be given, including the speaker's own work, with some indications of the direction which future investigations may take. The speakers at the Sixth National Or ganic Chemistry Symposium will be the following:
I
Homer Adkins Marston T. Bogert Benjamin T. Brooks Wallace H. Carothers James B. Conant Louis F. Fieser Henry Oilman Arthur J. Hill John R. Johnson Morris S. Kharasch C. Frederick Koelsch Carl S. Marvel Lyndon F. Small Vincent du Vigneaud George H. Whipple M. L. Wolfrom Meetings will be held morning and after noon Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, December 30, 1935, to January 1, 1936. Two evening meetings will be held. Mon day evening the symposium will be ad
dressed by Dean George H . Whipple, University of Rochester Medical School, the Tuesday evening speaker will be President James B. Conant of Harvard University. The headquarters hotel will be the Hotel Seneca. Three other nearby hotels will afford adequate accommodations. The rates are as follows: HOTEL

Room reservations should be made di rectly with the hotels. In addition t o the above hotels, ar rangements have been made with the University of Rochester to permit the housing of 90 men in the men's dormitory. The charge is $1.00 per night. The Todd Union Hall Cafeteria, where meals may be obtained at very reasonable charges, is near the dormitory. It is hoped that many students of chemistry will take ad vantage of these arrangements, which will enable them to attend the symposium at very low cost. Dormitory reservations should be made b y writing to Edwin Wiig, Department of Chemistry, University of Rochester, Rochester, Ν. Υ. Arrangements are being made to secure reduced railroad fares to Rochester. The reduced fares will be obtainable on the convention certificate plan, which re quires a minimum of 100 certificates to be validated at Rochester. If this number is secured, tickets for the return trip may be purchased at one-third fare. The complete program, with titles of the addresses and place and time of meetings, will be published later.
