FORTY-FIFTH MEETINGOF
THE SOCIETY OFAMERICAN BACTERIOLOGISTS
New York City, May 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 1944(Wed., Thurs., Fri.)
The scientific program will include papers on the various phases of bacteriologyand related immunological phenomena. In so far as restrictions will permit, topicsrelating to wartime problems in bacteriology will be emphasized.Round table and panel discussions are being arranged and one or more general
sessions of wide interest are anticipated. A copy of the preliminary program willbe sent to all members of the Society and those who register at the meeting willreceive a copy of the abstracts of all papers. These abstracts will be published inthe May issue of the Journal of Bacteriology.
Abstracts of papers to be presented at the meeting must not exceed 250 wordsin length and must be received by the Chairman of the Program Committee on orbefore February 14th, 1944. Abstracts received after this date will not be accepted.The various committees in charge of the meeting are as follows:
