Next week the Pasteur Institute will celebrate its soth anniversary. President Albert Lebrun of France will attend the ceremonies, and a thousand scientists from all over the world will meet to honor Pasteur and the work of the Institute. All will recall Pasteur's speech at the opening of the institute. "Two opposing laws seem to me now in contest," he said.

...untidy, he now sits at a big desk beside a lofty window which frames two sprawling, dirty vines and a begonia plant, directs the immaculate preservation of more than 100,000 prints. Last winter Curator Rossiter exhibited 500 as the first gesture in celebration of his department's soth anniversary. The lithographs now on view are the second gesture...
