Big ONR Grant For Research
A grant from the Office of Naval Research will enable university bacteriologists to delve deeper into their
search to determine how streptocci produce disease and death, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy announced today.
The large grant, the amount of which cannot be disclosed, enables continued research of the project begun in 1946.
Prof. N. P. Sherwood, director of the project, said the main attention in the study this year is the mechanism of streptococci invasions.
"Although we perhaps won't get the final answer, our research will throw light upon the final factors," Dr. Sherwood said.
"It is known that such diseases as rheumatic fever, tonsillitis, and blood poisoning are caused by streptococcus infections" he continued. "Our research is concerned with just how these infections work."
In previous research on this project, Dr. Sherwood has isolated substances which increase the white blood cell count, and others causing fever and damages to tissue.
The six years of research on the streptococcus project have enabled six students to get master's degrees and three students to get Ph.D. degrees. Graduate research assistants this year are Keith Bowman of Clyde and Anthony Luzzo of North Andover, Mass.

Up to this date all Union fees have aided in construction and improvement of the Union building.
Donations amounted to enough to build the four walls, decorate a reading room, and supply a cafeteria.
L. E. Woolley, director of the Union, said, "We have never called upon the state legislature to provide funds for construction or maintenance of the Union.
Since that time money from graduating classes, other donations, and the Union fees have made possible the new additions.

The Union building was started in 1925 as a memorial to service men killed in World War I. The construction costs were met through donations from graduates, faculty, and students.
"The maintenance of the building is paid from revenue of services rendered by the Union. The three main sources of revenue are the bookstore, the concession stands at the athletic games, and rent from the extension department.

"When Union fees become more than sufficient to meet construction costs, part of the money may possibly be used for maintenance," said Mr. Woolley.
