first year medical students. It or its equivalent is also required of all graduate students majoring m physiology. SPRING. [8] Dr. Park and Staff.

52.1.

TOPIcs IN GENERAL PHYSIOLOGY. First year. The course will start with the basic cellular processes of accumulation, membrane transport, bioelectric potentials, contraction, and secretion from the point of view of elementary applied physical chemistry. The discussion will extend to the operation of these processes in the function of erythrocytes, nerves, sensory receptors, muscles, glands, and excretory organs. When ap- plicable the mechanism of the hormonal control of these cells will be in- cluded. One hour per week. SPRING. Dr. Post.

581. RESEARCHFELLOWSHIPIN PHYSIOLOGY. Fourth year. Opportunities will

be

available in the fields of membrane transport and intermediary metabolism and in the hormonal control of these processes. Full time for twelve or eighteen weeks. Dr. Park.
