With the new apparatus he has also produced x-rays of remarkable intensity and penetrating power...

To conform to this increase, a method of instilling into the student a scientific power of observation in place of text-book knowledge will be introduced. The lectures will explain the laboratory work instead of making the laboratory work instead of making the laboratory work explain the lectures, as heretofore. Instead of running four full courses through...
