In this same period, six new fascicles of the Atlas Of Tumor Pathology were published and distributed to medical centers world-wide.

There were 54,320 copies of fascicles sold and 642 copies distributed free during this period.

Forty-five new Clinico-pathologic Conferences were prepared, bringing the total to 61 available for loan distribution.

Nine new teaching Clinico-pathologic Conference sets were prepared, which makes a total of 70 types of teaching sets for loan.

During this period, 7,827 teaching sets were distributed on loan.

The Clinico-pathologic Conferences have been acknowledged as of great value and in consequent great demand by the small isolated military hospitals.

The demand for teaching sets continues unabated since they provide the means for the military physicians to review the pathology of selected disease processes or organ systems for review of basic sciences and correlation of clinical physiological behavior with structural changes.
