TENTH LITERATURE AWARD 539 search would be were I to continue with the skin. I confess to you (but let it go no further) that I am having trouble wording my application for a grant. They will surely want to know (inter aha) why I can't use rats in- stead of women. Have they ever looked at a rat's tail? I may even have to apply to the S.C.C. for a grant-in-aid. In fact, now that possibility suddenly occurs to me, I think I had better--before sitting down and letting you get down to the serious business of putting your epi- dermis to work--conclude by re-iterating with emphasis how honored I feel to be numbered among those chosen to receive this award and how wise and farsighted the officers of this SOCIETY are to make it to useless people like me. Dr. E. H. Mercer, r., receiving Literature Award from Mr. R. A. Kramer, 1., President of the Society.
