Abstract
THE symposium on visual mechanisms held on September 24 during the Fiftieth Anniversary Celebrations of the University of Chicago brought together some of the diverse methods and points of view found in the study of vision. Of the eight papers, three were concerned with the structures, materials and energy relations of the eye itself ; one considered vision merely as an indicator of the state of the nervous system under anoxia ; while the other four explored the relations between sensory phenomena and the central nervous system.
