Discusses attacks made on today's grading system and the rationale for a shift to more egalitarian academic standards in student evaluation. Indicates that the traditional issues still remain unsolved at least for the present. (CC)

Discusses the course offerings in pure color chemistry at two universities and the three main aspects of study: dyestuff chemistry, color measurement, and color application. Indicates that there exists a constant challenge to ingenuity in the subject discipline. (CC)

Describes the scope of chemical oceanography and various ways in which chemical oceanographers can become qualified. Indicates that most sciences are involved in the study of the subject. (CC)
