...work for the division brought him into frequent contact with Trottenberg as he and his counterpart for Chemistry Laboratories discussed plans for expansion. His work in Whitlock's office, Leahy said, was less concerned with "the nuts and bolts aspect of finding federal funding for projects" than solving particular problems for the University raised by changes in laws governing patents and publication...

Individual instructors will decide whether students will be allowed to take their particular courses pass-fail.
