** Renal Section at Penn *
**************************
A Renal Section, now under the administra-
tion of Dr. J. Kapp Clark, originated in the
1930's as a subsection of the cardio-vascular
clinic and as a result of Dr. Landis* work on
renal extracts. Dr. Kay was in charge from
1939 to 1942, when the section had to be
abandoned because of the war. It was not re-
established until 1947, and then as an inde-
pendent section with Dr. Clark as supervisor.
It is financially supported by the National
Research Council and the C. Mahlon Kline
Fund for Research. Its work involves pri-
marily the application at the human level of
basic physiologic concepts initiated in pharma-
cology by Dr. Carl F. Schmidt.
