THE twenty-second annual report of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, covering the period 1934-35, refers to extending activities in scientific, as well as in industrial, research.
It is expected that the new building will be gradually occupied during 1935 and be complete by the end of the year. 62 industrial fellowships were in operation during 1934, requiring the
services of 97 fellows and 48 assistants. 56 of these fellowships were in operation at the end of the year, and a high proportion of the fellowships are of five or more years standing. New
fellowships during the year dealt with starch, stone, dried yeast, soya bean, etc., while fellowships terminated during the year covered cleaning, sugar, velvet, phosphates, paper finishing
and vanadium. Special attention is directed to the studies on cinchona alkaloids conducted by the Department of Research in Pure Chemistry with the object of discovering compounds of
therapeutic value in pneumonia. Fifty-nine such preparations have been tested, and biological and clinical data are being accumulated, some of which have been published. Studies on the
preparation of apoquirune and its ethyl and hydroxyethyl ether are practically ready for publication. A research on the action of sodium and sodamide has been completed and the preparation
and alkylation of cinchona alkaloid oxides is being studied.
