When he reports on the properties of the compound which he calls Ag 246, he speaks with the authority of a researcher who has already been credited with important drug discoveries...
...greatest income yet may come from Ag 246, which was concocted-with the help of Chemist Camille Wermuth and longtime aide Dr. Bernard Weber-as an improvement on a Laborit arthritis drug. By molecular manipulation, Laborit and his colleagues created 40 variants of the arthritis medicine, then started systematically to test each one.

Then in 1959, to help accommodate California's burgeoning college population, Davis was spun off entirely from Berkeley to become a general university campus...
