Neurology Center Planned for KU
Tentative plans have been made which will make the University of Kansas one of two world centers for comparative neuro-anatomy.
The International Commission on Comparative Neuro-Anatomy, under the World Federation of Neurology, is establishing two secretariats. One will be at KU and the other at Giessen, Germany.
Dr. Howard A. Matzke, professor of anatomy, will be the director of the secretariat here. Neuro-anatomy is the science dealing with the structures and functions of the nervous system.
Dr. Matzke recently returned from a meeting in Antwerp, Belgium, where the committee on comparative neuro-anatomy was formed and plans made to establish the two world secretariats.
Collections of animals' brains are throughout the world at universities and research centers. But it is not known what material is available, where it is located, or what condition it is in. The material is not catalogued or organized so that it can be used by researchers. Cataloguing will be one of the purposes of the secretariat.
Dr. Matzke and another director at Giessen will divide the work of cataloguing. When the work is finished a complete catalogue will be located at each secretariat. This means that KU will become known as "the center" for neuro-anatomy in this part of the world. The cataloguing alone will result in thousands of dollars of savings to universities and institutes doing neurological research.
NICE ARRANGEMENT—Larry Kerbs, Kansas City, Mo., senior, waits for Kay Shiner, Topeka senior, to sign out before they leave on a coffee break. Both students are residents of the co-educational dormitory, Carruth-O'Leary Hall.
