McCullough); "Industry/Academia Interaction in Polymer Science and Engineering at IBM" (J. Economy); "Observations on Industry/University Interactions in Animal Health Research" (D. C. Farrington); "Industry/Academic Interaction in Polymer Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University" (J. Lando); "Industry/Academia Interaction in Materials Science and Engineering at Rockwell International" (P. Cannon); "University/Industry Coupling: Philosophical Underpinnings and Empirical Leanings" (R. Roy); "Master's Degree Program in Computer Science Under Contract to a Large Electronics Firm" (W. H. Matchett); and "Philadelphia Association for Clinical Trials: Review and Prospects" (J. Schrogie). In addition, introductory remarks are presented by James C. Seferis, Michael Pelczar, Fred Betz, and Paul V. Tebo. The introductory remarks focus on the incentives and problems that may be anticipated in initiating and participating in industry/university cooperative programs. The majority of speakers and participants emphasized that in order to foster cooperative activity in research and education, it is necessary to institutionalize short-term and long-term communications between university and industrial personnel.
