RECEIVES IMPORTANT POSITION

Princeton, N. J., April 12, 1915.--Theobald Smith, professor of comparative pathology at Harvard will be in charge of the Rockefeller Institute Department for the study of animal disease, which is to be erected on Lake Carnegie. Although it will have no connection with Princeton University, it will be of great importance to the scientific departments.

Laboratories amounting to about $1,000,000 in value are to be erected on a 480-acre plant. Dr. Smith will use these for studying the nature, causes and cures of cognate diseases. Results equalling in importance those of the Institute in New York are expected.
