These Burbank eliminated
as being too far away.

never would have thought of taking

At Stanford It Is Intimate«! that a
rearrangement will follow the trans­
fer. The preernt idea seems to be that
the gardens will be put In charge of a
special faculty of aclentlats from ail
parte of the world. Thia faculty will
be jointly chosen by Burbank and the
university.
Burbank does not plan
to give up work entirely.
He will
presumably be needed
