      ** 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.
