✦ Synopsis

This study covers the methodological approach of a large investigation to verifv the universal lexicon hypothesis and the construction of a taxonomy of descriptors of personality in the Spanish language. The Diccionario de la Real Academia de la Lengua Espaiiola (Real Academia Espaiiola, 1992) has been the main reference and source to obtain natural, everyday language about personality. In this study, we followed the same approach as adopted by researchers in other languages. The procedure for assessing validity and reliability is explained. The quantitative and qualitative results are discussed, together with their systematization and the possibilities of further replication. The present research has mainly a heuristic value given the scarcity of studies in this line of investigation in Spain. Our aim is to underline the relevance of this model for the understanding of the close relationships between language and personality.

Committee reports. Report on patent law revision**The evidence in support of the Preambles and Resolutions and suggested additions to the copyright, patent and trade-mark laws contained in the first part of our report was not published in the May Journal owing to want of space. I am now sending you the remaining part of the report, by request, as it is considered quite necessary for the members of the Association to have in their hands before the next annual meeting, the entire document for consideration and study. It is believed that this will decidedly facilitate matters and save much time at the annual meeting which otherwise might be used up in unnecessary discussion of the subject.Your Committee wishes to again emphasize that fact that we have no desire to impose our personal views on the Association. The copyright and patent laws were designed to promote progress in science and the useful arts and the trade-mark laws to protect the public from fraud and imposition. It is generally conceded that the laws as now interpreted and applied fall short in accomplishing their purpose. It is therefore incumbent upon the A. Ph. A., representing the pharmacists of America, to suggest proper modifications of the law, of such kind as to secure the very important objects for which they were enacted.—F. E. Stewarcth, Chairman.
