enceS with noted European authorities

With the appointment of DR.. Todd,
who is professor of anatomy at West
ern Reserve University, in Cleveland, as
presiding officer of the organization,
and the naming of other officers, the
board began considering the more than
100 plans already submitted to foster the
aims of DR.. Brush. The plans, accord
ing. to Attorney Jerome c.. Fisher,
secfetary-treasurer of the. board, range
from the crack Drained ideas of the
crank to the serious considerations of
eminent scientists.
