Abstract
THE Seventh International Congress of Genetics was unique in more than one way. As described by Prof. Crew in NATURE of September 16, p. 496, it was held during a period of high political stress, and it accomplished something that perhaps no other international congress will be required to attempt again. The enthusiasm of the six hundred men of science present, combined with a well-thought-out organization, retained the attention and support of all geneticists who were present in Edinburgh during an eventful week of turmoil. The following pages provide a survey of the proceedings.
