Abstract
ON Sept. 5 the Regent of Hungary, Admiral Horthy inaugurated the new buildings of the Hungarian institute for biological research at Tihany on the shores of Lake Balaton (Fig. 1). This institute has been founded through the exertions of the Minister for Education. Count Kuno von Klebelsberg, in pursuance of the general policy of the Government to restore the various cultural institutions of Hungary to the same high level as they occupied before the War, and where possible to raise the standard. It is gratifying to note the importance which His Excellence has attached to the development of the natural sciences. During his term of office one new university has been founded, and two rendered homeless as a consequence of the War have been re-established in fresh situations. Among the new developments may be mentioned the excellent modern equipment of the medical faculty at Debrecen, but the support accorded to pure biological research through this institute at Tihany is a still more manifest sign of this enlightened policy.
