Excerpt from Tentative Plan for a Proposed Investigation Into the Physiological Action of Ethyl Alcohol in Man: Proposed Correlative Study of the Psychological Effects of Alcohol on Man The Nutrition Laboratory is especially well fitted for studying problems regarding body temperature, the respiratory exchange, and calorimetry, both during rest and during severe muscular work. Furthermore, with the recent introduction of the string galvanometer and photographic registration apparatus, many observations which have hitherto never been made of the influence upon physiological processes of the ingestion of alcohol may be accurately recorded. Concurrently, there has been established in the Nutrition Laboratory an equip ment for psychophysical studies based upon the investigations of Professor Raymond Dodge. The extensive research on the metabolism during severe muscular work carried out at the Nutrition Laboratory during the winter of 1911 - 1912 by Dr. E. P. Cathcart has considerably illuminated our knowledge of the metabolism under these conditions. And the possibility of altering the meta holism by the ingestion of varying amounts of alcohol should prove a most practical field for research.
