...future disclosed by Dr. Bergius; and the startling possibilities of the work done in biological chemistry by such men as Ruzicka of Switzerland; are the parts of the Tercentenary to be permanently remembered.

For the other 85% of drivers the great need is instruction. Indiana leads the way here, requiring 20 hours...
