Institute Gives Grant For Biophysics Study

The National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases of the National Institutes of Health has awarded a five-year grant to the University to aid a graduate program in Biophysics. Arthur K. Solomon, associate professor of Biophysics, will direct the program, which will teach competent students in physics, chemistry, and biology and lead to a Ph. D. award in Biophysics.

The first candidates for the degree will be admitted in the Fall term at the Medical School or for work in the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, and Biology and the Division of Engineering and Applied Physics.
