Tbs latest item added to the record of this advance comes from New Haven, where It is announced that Miss Elizabeth Gilman of Gardner, Mass« has been appointed research as sistant in chemistry at Yale and will be the first woman, thus far, to oc cupy that position. In connection with the appointment, it is Interesting to note that study of those active Io the field of chemistry in this country, a year or two ago, revealed that but about 5 per cent of the chemists io the United States are women, says the Boston Globe. Considering the fact that there are more than 15,000 chemists in 48 states, this appeared rather a low batting average for the women. Lately, however, the women are becoming more numerous in this held, as well u In i great many others concerned with science.
