ON 'SYNTHESE !N
L!FE"
The lecture on "Syntheses in Animal
Life," which was postponed from the
psevious week on account of iiinesa,
was given Wednesday in the physics
amphitheatre by Dr. L. B. Howell.
In his discussion Dr. HoweH took
up both the processes of digestion and
metabolism. The stages through
which food is built up into the very
complex structure of living tissue
were taken up in as great detail as
the knowledge of the subject wilt per-
mit. The question of the chemical so-
lution of life was mentioned but not
answered.
In the third and last lecture to be
given Wednesday night Dr. HoweH
will give a summary of the most re-
cent developments in the manufacture
of organic drugs, dyes, perfumes and
other compounds.
