Processing Information

Item moved to Physiology series because Andrew Ivy's work is the subject of the film. Date determined by similarities to footage of Ivy's work in the Northwestern Marches On film, especially because the woman in the middle of the top row of the audience in this film is the same woman that appears in Ivy's lab in Northwestern Marches On.
