General Conclusions: Teleonomic Mechanisms in Cellular Metabolism, Growth, and Differentiation

Before attempting to draw the conclusions, or some of the conclusions, which emerge from the discussions of the past eight days, we would like to express the unanimous feeling of the participants that the choice of the subject and the timing of this conference were excellent, as shown by the exceptional and sustained interest of the sessions. For this we are deeply indebted to our host Dr. Chovnick, Director of the Long Island Biological Laboratory, and to Dr. Umbarger who had a major share in the planning of the conference.
