FACULTY MEMBERS THE SALK INSTITUTE FOR BIOLOGICAL STUDIES SAN DIEGO, anT.IE. GEnAn Pmr,, president of The Salk Institute for Biologi- cal Studies, announced on June 1, 1962, the names of the first ten scientists to join the faculty of the Institute. Six of the men, including Dr. Jonas Salk as director, are Senior Fellows appointed for life, and four are Nonresi- dent Fellows who will serve six-year terms as consultants. Mr. Piel explained that this initial group of Fellows will be the nucleus of a much larger faculty. Dr. Warren Weaver, vice president of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, New York City, and chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Salk Institute, wrote in the June 1 issue of SCIENCE magazine that "those responsible for planning the new Institute are determined to create an atmosphere of unparalleled freedom and flexibility. The controls will rest with the scholar-scientists without burdening them with organization duties, without any handicap of out- moded departmental structure." Mr. Piel, who is also publisher of ScIENTIFic AMExzcnrr, emphasized that "there is no better way to describe the work of the Institute than by describing the first men who will staff it." "
