Dr. Eversole, spending the summer as a consultant at a government laboratory, expects to begin work under the new grant about September 1st. He has been doing similar research for several years, but this will be the first work under a grant from Bethesda, Maryland, Institute. The ultimate goal of the new project, Dr. Eversole says, is an understanding of how body fluids are regulated. The knowledge will be invaluable, he says, in work pertaining to adrenal and pituitary glands in the human body. All experiments, which have already been started, will be performed on members of the university's big colony of white rats. Dr. Eversole says the rats will undergo operations, injections, and careful observation to determine body reactions to various phases of the project. Another possible result from the research, Dr. Eversole says, is to gain a greater knowledge of causes of and possible preventatives against cancer and tumors. Dr. Eversole is a son of Mrs. Mary Eversole and the late W. L Eversole, and was reared in Jackson, where he received his early education.
