The 13 articles in this volume originally were presented at the 11th Growth Symposium at Williams College in June, 1952. In the past, papers delivered at these symposiums were published as supplements to the journalGrowth. Three of the articles are concerned with growth in higher plants. The rest range from reproduction of viruses through growth of population. Physicians probably will be most interested in the articles on the aspects of growth in higher animals: Gaunt's article on chemical control of growth in animals; Greulich's on the relationship between skeletal status and physical growth and development in children; and Dickerson's on hereditary mechanisms in animal growth.
