Evolution Study at KUThis September
The conference will attract as many as 250 leading biological scientists from throughout the United States and the world. They will analyze and pool their research findings to see if a new evolutionary synthesis may be based on comparative studies of plants and animals at the molecular levels.
A radical departure in man's understanding of evolution will be sought by scientists meeting at the first International Conference on Taxonomic Biochemistry, Physiology and Serology Sept. 4-6 at KU.
Among the scientists playing major roles in the conference will be Marcel Flockin, director of the Laboratory of Biochemistry at the University of Liege, Belgium, and editor of a four-volume, comprehensive treatise on comparative bio-
Until now, virtually all evolutionary study has relied on Darwin's "great synthesis," based on adult morphological studies. These emphasize form and structural features of plants and animals.
chemistry.
OTHERS INCLUDE Jean Roche
of the College of France, Paris, regarded as France's foremost comparative biochemist, and Ernst Mayr of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard.
Prof. Leone said he believes "the most significant future gains in our understanding of systematics and evolution will be at the molecular level. The conference will provide opportunity for a multidisciplined analysis of the use of biological molecules in studying their essential natures and their relation to other molecules." he said.
Charles A. Leone, KU professor of zoology, will direct the conference, sponsored jointly by the National Science Foundation and KU.
Eminent American scientists will serve as chairmen of the sessions. Seven, hour-long major papers and as many invited reports of 25 minutes each will be presented. In addition as many as 50, ten-minute communications by participants will be heard.
The scientists will have an opportunity to discuss each presentation.
GETTING READY—Amidst cries of "Pay Attention," "I can't hear that C sharp," etc., the women's section of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp chorus practices. The chorus will give a concert Sunday at the University Theatre at 2:15 p.m. The orchestra will present a concert in the same location at 3:30 p.m. Then the band takes over for an outdoor concert at 8 p.m.
VanderWerf to Helm of College
Calvin A. VanderWerf, professor and chairman of the department of chemistry at KU, will become president of Hope College in Holland. Mich., effective July 1, 1963.
Trustees of the 111-year-old coeducational, liberal arts college of 1.500 students and faculty of 100 today announced the selection of Prof. VanderWerf as president-elect to succeed Irwin J. Lubbers, who will retire after 18 years in the presidency.
The 44-year-old Prof. VanderWerf, a KU teacher since 1941 when he received the Ph.D. degree from Ohio State University, will be returning to his alma mater. He earned the Bachelor of Arts degree from Hope in 1937.
Hope College is affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church. Holland, a Lake Michigan port city of more than 15,000 is about 30 miles southwest of Grand Rapids.
"We hate to lose Dr. VanderWerf next year, but those who know him both as a distinguished scientist and as a person with an intense interest in the development of people as individuals will understand his acceptance of this different kind of challenge," said Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe.
Prof. VanderWerf said, "I've been extremely happy here and consider the University and its department of chemistry to be among the fine ones in the nation. The decision was difficult but the new challenge appears to offer a broader opportunity for service."
Prof. VanderWerf has been chairman of the KU chemistry department the past year and also is the Chancellor's representative to and chairman of the KU Athletic Board. He previously had been a member elected by the faculty.

KU 5th in Nation In Alumni Gifts For State Schools
KU ranks fifth among all state schools in the nation in alumni donations given to the University.
This was shown in a report by the Council for Financial Aid to Education, Inc., an organization which surveys voluntary support given American colleges and universities. KU's position came through $938,791 in donations from alumni during 1960-61. Last year, KU placed seventh in the same category with $462,732.
KU ALSO PLACED 17TH among state universities in the total funds gained through voluntary contributions, with $1,889.681. KU was one of 27 state universities that received $1 million or more in voluntary support.
The highest ranking state schools in voluntary support were California, $15,687,662; Wisconsin, $8,895,-694; Pennsylvania State, $7,005,308; Purdue, $6,841,922; and Michigan, $6,454,872.
The Council estimates that American colleges and universities were given more than $1 billion last year. This record total came from alumni and friends, foundations, business corporations and religious denominations.
The Council surveyed 1,032 educational institutions. They found that gifts for 1960-61 amounted to $802,985,596, compared with $626,-583,562 in 1958-59.
THE COUNCIL REPORT placing KU fifth in the nation among state colleges for alumni donations came close on the heels of the United States Steel Foundation grand award for improvement in alumni support during 1960-61. KU's award was one of two given by the Foundation. The other recognizes high levels of sustained support and was won by Princeton University.
The $5,000 prize recognizes that the 9,842 alumni contributors to KU gave an increase of 60 per cent over the preceding year. Gifts from students and friends, as well as alumni, increased from 6,700 to 10,462.
The gift support comes to the University through the KU Endowment Association and the Greater University Fund.
The Council for Financial Aid to Education reported the five institutions which received the largest amounts in total gift support as Yale university, $42,207,004; Harvard university, $40,340,117; Stanford university, $23,495,374; Columbia university, $20,402,345; and Chicago university, $19,167,860.
Psychology Grant Of $36,000 to KU
KU has received a renewal grant of $36,000 from the United States Public Health Service for its training program in social psychology.
The grant, $15,000 larger than current support, will provide an increase in the number of traineeships from three to seven and an expansion in teaching services. Jay Jackson, professor of psychology, has directed the program since its beginning in 1958.
The training program is one of several on the graduate level in the psychology department at KU. The programs include research experiences, courses and seminars, department colloquiums and conferences with invited distinguished specialists and internships.
Thirteen graduate students are in the social psychology program, and are studying for Ph.D. degrees. These include four who have been appointed U.S. Public Health Service trainees.
