Dr. A. Dimond
Presents Paper
On Penicillin
In a paper presented before the
fifty-fourth annual meeting of the
Nebraska academy of sciences
Friday afternoon, Albert E. Di
mond, assistant professor of bot
any, emphasized the control of
the growth of the penicillin-producing
fungus. The paper was
jointly prepared by Dr. Dimond
and Dr. George L. Peltier, head
of the department of bacteriology.
Dr. Dimond and Dr. Peltier have
conducted extensive experiments
with the fungi. The most favor
able temperature for the growth
of the fungus is 77 F. It now
takes from 8 to 14 days for the
fungus' to become established and
produce penicillin.
Dr. Dimond revealed that a con
tinuous process of growth has been
suggested for greater production
of the drug. When production is
increased, there will be a marked
decrease in its cost.

Among the steps Mr. Seger men

He explained that while the Ger

a civilian democracy in Germany
and rid the country of its Prussian
militarism, the German army re
sisted and was supported by the
English and French members of
