LIFE IN THE NEW BUILDING 123.—Modern photomicrography apparatus.

torium of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology; Sternberg Auditorium in the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research; or the post theater of Walter Reed Army Medical Center. To such audiences, it is possible to transmit by sight and sound, in black and white or in color, significant operations, "live" or by delayed broadcast; microscopic studies for simultaneous viewing, rather than having the viewers wait their turns at the microscope; lectures and discussions, with accompanying illustrative materials; or other demonstrations of educational interest—all viewed on a picture screen of 6 by 8 feet, if in color, or 9 by 12 feet, if in black and white.

As part of the educational aspect of its threefold mission, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, particularly through the efforts of Dr. Robert E. Stowell, its Scientific Director, contributes to the Medical Center's television programming, with discussions, demonstrations, and illustrations of pathology material by members of the Institute staff and consultants.
