During each of the past 5 years the children9s Hospital of the District of Columbia and The George Washington Medical Center have offered a postgraduate seminar on Adolescent Medicine. This volume9s chapters are the edited recordings or manuscripts of the 8 presentations given in 1966 on adolescents9 growth and the 10 given in 1967 on their nutrition. Conducted by authorities in their fields, these excellent seminars have been designed to furnish further information to those concerned with adolescents9 medical care and to stimulate them and those primarily interested in the seminar9s topic, to develop new ideas and approaches to relevant problems.
