Dr. John L. Oncley will take over the laboratory work of the late Edward J. Cohn, an official of the Harvard Medical School revealed last night.
The official, who asked that his name not be used, said that Cohn had held Oncley in the highest regard and had been grooming him to take charge of Cohn's experiments.
Oncley would not necessarily have been appointed as the University Professor, a post chosen by the President and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. This position, also left vacant by Cohn's death last week, is separate from the duties in the laboratory.
The official announcement of Oncley's promotion at the Physical-Chemical laboratories is expected on his return from London, where he is teaching this winter. Oncley, a graduate of South Western College in the University of Wisconsin, is well-known for his work with the dielectric properties of proteins.
