Abstract :
The formation of the Institute of Chemistry by the American Chemical Society will, beginning with this year, bring together every summer at a technical educational center, chemists from national laboratories of industry and education. The suggestion that such a convention be held annually “for the promotion of science in America” has been approved and The Chemical Foundation, Inc. and Pennsylvania State College have agreed to furnish funds to put the plan in operation for the first session to be held at Pennsylvania State College during July 1927. Northwestern University has requested the privilege of being the second university to cooperate in the 1928 session, to be held at Evanston. Locations for the third and subsequent sessions are to be determined at a later and more current date.
