In addition, there isnow in force a series of govern-ment contracts which finance PARKin part studies of significancefor the winning of the war. At the time of this writing there aretwenty-two such contracts in the Division of the BiologicalSciences. These fall in the category of special cases and will notbe discussed further here.The Dean's Office is concerned in one way or another withthe solicitation, administration, and allocation of all thesesources of support. However, because the endowed funds andthe items in the regular budget are relatively stabilized in termsof their administration and because, once established, theypresent no further complexities, it is most interesting perhaps toreview in somewhat more detail the grants provided by outsidedonors. These grants appear in various guises. They may comefrom the proverbial "grateful patient" who, having been aidedby his physician, wishes to identify his appreciation in a tangibleform. Characteristically, these grants are small but nonethelesswelcome. They may come from Alumni interested in the wellbeing of the School or as a result of Alumni influence with colleagues, patients, or commercial organizations. Such grantsfrom, or arranged by, our friends are doubly appreciated. Theymay come from a private citizen who, impressed by the needfor advancement in certain fields, as, for example, cancer, tuberculosis, or diabetes, either persuades himself or is persuaded thatour School is the place where his investment will definitely earnits dividends. They may come from foundations and, finally,from industry.Grants from foundations are highly desirable. Usually theyare unencumbered by restrictions and are given by a groupwhose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff as re- gards researcher, research, and institution. With this decisionmade, the Foundation usually lets the investigator alone exceptperhaps for polite requests for occasional "progress reports."Grants from industry are given for many reasons and withmany ends in view. It seems clear that all universities will require some support of this type in the postwar world, and fromthis it follows that commercial concerns and academic institutions alike should get to understand each other better and tolay careful plans of agreement both contractua1 and intellectual,when entering into such a synergistic enterprise. Through itsvarious offices, officers, and faculty the University is rapidlygaining experience in these matters.There are a number of reasons why first-rate industries finance academic research or at least affiliate with an academicprogram. They may desire prestige and publicity. They mayhave a specific, technical problem to be solved: one with whichtheir staff will not or cannot cope. They may have developed aparticular product, process, or apparatus which is in need offurther testing. They may have a genuine inclination to see thebasic backgrounds underlying their area of application developin a broad manner and as rapidly as possible. And, finally, theymay have a fundamental concern about creative, productivescholarship. From the point of view of a particular industry allthese reasons either singly or in combination are quite legitimate. From the point of view of the University their attractiveness increases in direct proportion to the freedom for inquirythey grant to the responsible investigator.Before making a research grant to the University, it is necessary that the industry involved accept our provisions about patents, advertising, and publication rights. These regulationsfollow:The University of Chicago's basic policies include freedom of research and the free, unrestricted dissemination of information. In viewof these policies, the University will not profit financially from researchby means of patents, royalties, or licensing agreements. Members ofthe staff will not be permitted to receive direct or indirect financial returns from patents based on work performed during the period of theiremployment by the University, or to make arrangements for such returns which take effect after such period. The University will cooperate with industrial organizations by conducting fundamental research projects financed by grants from such organizations, and willmake research reports to the grantors, but it will retain the right topublication of the results. The University will not permit its name orthe names of its investigators to be used in advertising.The University recognizes that patenting may be desirableor necessary for the protection of the public, the donor, the inventor, or the University. Its regulations merely prevent the useof the patent device for income to itself or its staff. It readilyrecognizes that circumstances may exist which necessitate priorconsideration of patent rights to a donor before a grant is givenor accepted. In such instances the case is considered from allpoints of view on the basis of its individual merit, and, if thisreview is favorable, such permission to patent can be granted.The advantages of the patent policy from the point of view ofthe University .seem self-evident. Suggestively enough, the response of industry to the ideals and implementation of thispolicy is proving to be favorable.Such problems as those outlined above are continually engaging the attention of all members of the Dean's Office, and it isprobable that they will increase both in complexity and in frequency in the days just ahead. These problems could be easilymultiplied and more comprehensively formulated here, but it ishoped that something of interest has been accomplished instating them even if so briefly.·News ItemsDr. Peter b.

However, the factors which causeintravascular agglutination have not beenthoroughly studied, nor have the roles ofintravascular agglutination in the mechanisms of pathological physiology and inthe defense reactions been intensivelystudied.We use two methods for microscopicstudy of small vessels and the blood: oneis the fused quartz rod method of illuminating living internal organs for microscopic study; the other consists in focusing a binocular hi-objective dissectionmicroscope on the obliquely illuminatedbulbar conjunctiva of anesthetized animals and of unanesthetized human beings. The bulbar conjunctiva is illuminated obliquely with a slit lamp or with aShahan ophthalmoscopic lamp. Our microscopes give true stereoscopic vision at32,48, and 96X magnifications.Evidences of the consistency of theflowing blood are viscosity of the plasmaand, if intravascular agglutination is present, the ranges of distribution of sizes,shapes, plasticity or rigidity, elasticity,toughness or fragility, and stickiness ofthe clumps of red cells. These propertiesdo not remain constant during the courseof a disease. In monkeys with malariaeach of these properties is the same at anyone time in all organs observed, that is, ineach organ the flowing blood is a validsample of all the flowing blood in thebody.In normal animals and normal unanesthetized medical students and student nurses the blood .cells were not agglutinated. All red cells were separate andpassed in single file or double row throughthe capillaries. Most capillaries of mostspecies of animals are, during the timesblood flows through them, from a littlemore than once to a little more than twicethe diameter of the red cells of that species. Thus the capillaries are a perpetualbottle-neck in the vascular system.We have seen precipitated, agglutinated blood (not rouleaux) in about 400 human patients diagnosed as having a widevariety of conditions and diseasea-Someof these, with the number of patients seenwith each, are: Buerger's disease, eclampsia, gonorrheal salpingitis, granuloma inguinale, lung abscess, lymphatic leuke- mia, multiple myeloma, multiple sclerosis, thyrotoxicosis, whooping cough, traumatic shock without hemorrhage, each I;bronchitis, diabetes, Laennec's cirrhosisof the liver with syphilis, malignant hypertension, measles, myelogenous leukemia, pericarditis, smallpox, subacute bacterial endocarditis, thrombopenic purpura, trichinosis, tularemia, typhoid fever,Weil's disease, each 2; myocardial insufficiency, syphili tic heart disease wi th aorticregurgitation, each 3; common cold, 4;meningitis, 5; neoplasms of testis, I, ofcolon, I, of esophagus, I, pancreas, I,and of unknown primary origin with multiple metastases, I; traumatic shock withacute alcoholism, 5; acute rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, sickle cell anemia, each6; acute alcoholism, arsenical reactions,syphilis of the central nervous system,gonorrheal arthritis, each 7; undulantfever, falciparum malaria, each 8; quartan malaria, 10; hypertensive cardiovascular disease, I I; benign tertian malaria,13; pneumonia, 18; anterior poliomyelitis, 2I; pulmonary tuberculosis, 58; rheumatoid arthritis, 125.Intravascular agglutination of theerythrocytes. changes the blood from itsnormally fluid state to a circulatingsludge. The masses of agglutinated redcells resist passage through the smallestvessels, the degree of this resistance depending, upon the size of the clumps ofred cells and the internal rigidity of theclumps. In general in anyone patient ,(I)the clumps have a definite range of size.and degree of internal rigidity, (2) theflow in open vessels is retarded in proportion to the size and rigidity of the clumps,and (3) whenever certain degrees of retardation of blood flow are present thereis a corresponding degree of visible hemoconcentration of the clumps passingthrough the small vessels, which showsthat the vessel walls have stagnant anoxiaand are leaking fluid. Patients may havesmall clumps and nearly normal flow ratesthrough small vessels and still be ill.Thus, many factors of diseases other thansludged blood contribute to the illness ofpatients. We have seen no patients withlarge tough clumps and markedly reduced flow rates who w'ere in good clinicalcondition. Thus we believe that whenever, in any pathological condition ordisease, intravascular agglutination interferes with the flow of blood through capillaries and thereby forcibly reduces therates of supply of oxygen and other anabolites to tissues, the intravascular agglutination is a major factor in the pathologyor in the pathological physiology of thatdisease. 'This survey of human patients is a direct outgrowth of studies of changes inthe blood and vessel walls of 50 rhesus(Continued on page 5) EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OFPIGMENTATION OF ENDOCRINE ORIGINAt the annual reunion of the AlumniAssociation on June 13, 1945, Dr. M. E.Davis, professor of obstetrics and gynecology, spoke on "Experimental Studiesof Pigmentation of Endocrine Origin."The material of this discussion was published by Dr. Davis and his colleagues,Capt. J. H. Ferguson, Professor StephenRothman, and the late Lt. Col. M. W.Boynton, in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology (5 [1945], 138).Dr. Davis and his associates observedintense pigmentation of the nipples inyoung women who received stilbestrol inthe treatment of primary ovarian insufficiency. Curiously, no such pigmentationoccurred in older women treated at themenopause. Similarly intense pigmentation was induced in the nipples of castrated male guinea pigs by the synthetic nonsteroid estrogens diethyl-stilbestrol, hexestrol, and methyl ether of stilbestrol andby the steroid, estradiol benzoate. Histological study showed a strongly positiveDopa reaction with abundant melaningranules in epidermal basal cells and dendritic melanoblasts, much the same as inthe biopsy sections from the breasts ofthe treated girls. The effects in guineapigs were reproduced in one nipple onlyby topical application, indicating a directeffect of the estrogen on the areolar pigment system. Pregnant mare serum gonadotropin and progesterone exerted noinhibitory action. Chorionic gonadotropin, however, did retard the process. Thislatter effect is of great interest since chorionic gonadotropin is not generally regarded as influencing mammalian tissues inthe absence of the gonads. The authorscommented on the similarity between experimental estrogen pigmentation andthat of normal pregnancy and pointed outthe paradox existing between the inhibitory effects of chorionic gonadotropin intheir guinea pigs, and the preservation ofthe pigmentary reaction in the pregnantwoman. despite abundant circulatinggonadrotropins. The discrepancy mightlie in the difficulties inherent in reproducing the dosage and time relationships ofhuman pregnancy in an experimental animal or in some species difference of a localkind. The effects of various other pituitary gonadotropins must be sought in anattempt to account for the resistance ofthe menopausal woman to estrogen pig-mentation. 'A. T.

A precipitate formed which coatedall the red cells sticking them together inmasses. In these two conditions themasses were so large and tough that therates of blood flow were greatly reduced,the vessel walls became anoxic, then losttheir ability to retain blood colloids. Plasma loss and hemoconcentration occurred,and the animal died in from 3 to 12 hours.The larger and tougher the clumps, thesooner the animal dies. In the human patients we have studied thus far, the clumpshave not been large enough and toughenough to cause death in a short time.Normal circulating blood and some ofthe microscopic pathological circulatoryphysiology of Rhesus monkeys withknowlesi malaria have been recorded in16 millimeter motion pictures takenthrough the microscope by Knisely,Stratman-Thomas, Eliot, and Bloch. * Theslowly moving precipitated-agglutinatedblood in the vessels of the bulbar conjunctiva of a Negro with Weil's disease wasphotographed.
