- Letter from Professor Raymond M. Fuoss, Chemistry Dept., Yale University, to Dr. Irvin C. Mohler, American Institute of Biological Sciences, RE: Fuoss agreed to speak at the Molecular Structure and Biological Specificity Symposium on the understanding that he would not be required to submit a manuscript. However, now Mohler informs him that the proceedings will be recorded, with copies to be sent to speakers for editing, for eventual publication.
