Advantages and Limitations of the Regional Laboratory Method of Approach¹

Purdue University

Abstract

During the last few years we have witnessed what is probably the greatest demonstration in the world's history of organized research under the pressure of war necessity. The War Department has established several highly secret and efficient laboratories to solve many problems concerned with such problems as radar, chemistry, and bacteriology. The best available men from various parts of the country were brought into these laboratories and they have been welded into productive units that have contributed results of untold value to the war effort. Our success in this war is partly due to the fact that we are outstripping the enemy scientifically. The staffs in these laboratories have accepted their assigned places and have worked as teams with an enthusiasm and fervor that has amazed the country. They have their planning committees just as the Army has a general staff. Problems are analyzed, subdivided and assigned to various groups of specialists for solution.

¹ One of a series of three papers on cooperative animal research and regional laboratories, presented before the opening session of the annual meeting of the American Society of Animal Production, December 1, 1944.
