Just thinking about Ibycus makes Kevin Herbert, Ph.D., smile. Herbert is chairman of the De- partment of Classics at Washington University. Ibycus, named after a lyric poet of the sixth century B.C., is the department's new computer that allows students and faculty to save time while conducting extensive research. The computer has a disk that stores approximately three-fourths of the world's Greek literature from about 750 B.C. to A.D. 600. The in- formation machine is housed in the department's Classics Study Center. Washington is one of 12 universities in the country to own an Ibycus computer. The disk additionally boasts the entire Hebrew testament; an exten- sive selection of work by Latin authors; and some Christian Coptic- writings.

Transplant research by Shreffler gets MERIT status Donald C. Shreffler, Ph.D., professor of genetics at the School of Medi- cine, has been honored for his scien- tific contributions by receiving MERIT status for his latest grant. The grant, which will exceed $1.3 million over a five-year period, is from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). MERIT (Method to Extend Research in Time) status will assure Shreffler of long-term, uninterrupted financial support while eliminating time-consuming paperwork and other delays traditionally associated with grant renewal applications. Shreffler is the fourth medical school researcher to receive MERIT status, which is attached to only a few NIH grants. Researchers may not apply for it, but are chosen in recog- nition of their superior achievement during previous research projects. The award offers the opportunity to be extended three to five more years, based on an expedited review of work accomplished during the initial period. "This award acknowledges Donald Shreffler's continued com- mittment to excellence," says Chan- cellor William H. Danforth. "His work is adding to medical knowl- Jerome Aronberg.
