The sudden burst of interest in the thymus during the last five
years more than justifies the appearance of a monograph on those
aspects of its function which bear particularly on immunity and the
processes associated with the development of malignant disease. Of
those who are actively working in the field I believe that Dr.
DONALD METCALF is uniquely suited to produce such a work. His
demonstration of a lymphocytosis stimulating factor from thymic
tissue in 1956 was almost the first evidence of physiological
activity by the thymus. He has played an important part in the
analysis of the leukaemogenic process in mice and his recent work
on thymic grafting has been almost disconcertingly productive of
new ideas. I feel confident that this monograph will be of great
value to a wide range of investigators and teachers interested in
obtaining a clear summary of the present posi tion. Incidentally,
Dr. METCALF has provided a well chosen sample of factual material
from which others who may wish to question some of his
speculations, can draw their own conclusions. He has been careful
to keep the observational and experimental facts clearly distinct
from theoretical matters but has not shirked from making his con
tribution to the current ferment of immunological theory."
