laboratory of the University of Utrecht, one of the world’s leading oenter of colloid chemistry.
Colloid chemistry deals with foams, pastes, suspensions, jellies, membranes, emulsions, greases, films—with all kinds of materials whose behavior is condisioned by the prescence of particles too small to be seen in the microscope but still larger than single molesules.
Many properties of these systems would be better understood if scientists could only find a way of defining and measuring the forces that hold file partiuies together, the Voids said.
The existence of some type of interaction between particles, in addition to that responsible for chemical reactions in the usual sense, has been recognized for a long time and known under the name of van der Walls forces.
Recent work at the University is developing direet means for the experimental measurement of such forces. The Voids’ primary purpose in going to Holland is to study this technique and its underlying foundation and make it available to students of colloid chemistry at SC.
“It would be hard to underestimate the importance ol this work," the Voids said. “Take a gel, for example. Nobody really knows why a get gels. And until somebody finds out. the manufacture ol useful materials involving (Continued oil Page 4)

Donors must weight at least 110 pounds and there must be an interval of 12 weeks between donations.
For the protcetion of donor’s an adequate examination, including temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and hemoglobin determination, is given prior to donation.
Miss Clements stressed the fact that it doesn’t hurt to give blood. The donation of a pint causes no more strain than an afternoon of exercises.
