Dr. White now works, a long and
careful development of mice fami
lies has produced a "standard

are so much the same that the
skin from one can be successfully
grafted to the body of another.
This laboratory annually pro
duces about a million ; standard
mice for laboratory purposes. Each
year it sells about 150,000 of its
crop to other science laooratories
and uses the others in its own ex

however, that before you can
grow any kind of tissue culture,
vou must know what to feed it-
and finding food for synthetic tis

He began 20 years ago by find
ing scientific diets for plant tis
sue. -He wanted to help supply
bottle fed plant tissue because he
felt that research to prevent such
plant diseases as mosaics and
other virus infections .would pro
gress much more rapidly if science
had "living laboratories of syn
thetic tissue" to study.
When Dr. White and other pio
neers in the field began their
work, such tissue as was being

. Dr. Philip R. White, one of the
world's ranking physiologists and
a University Visitor this week, is
confident that some day men may
speak of skin banks as casually
as we now mention the Red Cross(
blood bank.
One of the confounding prob
lems of skin grafts today is that
human skin, unlike blood, is not
generally transferable. For ex
ample, if the skin on your neck
is destroyed by a bad burn it can
be successfully and quickly re
placed only by grafting some of
your own skin over the damaged
area. Only in the case of identical
twins can skin be. transferred
from one person to another.
Much of that, however, is now
changed. Dr. White's studies have
provided precise food formulas
for plant .'tissue culture and he is
now working to produce precise
chemical diets for synthetic ani
mal tissues, .
. "I'll have to admit," Dr. White
said, "that I have found my work
most interesting. And I am al
ways interested in visiting places
like the University of Nebraska.
I am especially pleased to find
that your University is inaugur

Our need for such projects is
critical. Without them we have
no place to turn for properly
