BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 16

invention as an unstable free radical obtained from the oxidation of i-adrenalin. T h e compound appears as a powerful inhibitor of many enzyme systems involved in electron transport. It has no immediate therapeutic application; but since it is so highly toxic, it probably should not be used in human studies. Dr. Francis J. Gerty, Head of the Department of Psychiatry, recommends that this invention be released to the inventor, and it is his opinion that it has very little possibility of commercial value. After study, the members of the Patent Committee available on the campus concurred with the opinion of Dr. Gerty and voted to recommend to the Board of Trustees that this invention be released to the inventor with the following conditions: (1) If the inventor does not apply for a patent, he will agree to release all his rights to the Office of Naval Research, the sponsoring agency under which this development was made. (2) If he does apply for and receive a patent, he will recognize the obligations of the University to the Office of Naval Research. I concur in this recommendation.

Mr. Clement, for the Committee on Patents, reported that the Committee has approved the foregoing recommendation, and on his motion, the same was approved. SECRETARY'S REPORTS The Secretary presented for record the following lists: (1) appointments made by the President; (2) graduate fellows; (3) cancellations, declinations, and resignations; (4) leaves of absence; (5) cancellation of leaves of absence; (6) retirements.
