...small knowledge of astronomy to help one to better understand the arrangements of the heavens and the order of the universe and Doctor Bok successfully and interestingly presents the necessary minimum in Astronomy 1. The lectures and reading cover the mechanisms of the physical universe from the atom to the galaxy while the laboratory work concerns itself with the more mechanical problems such as orbit determination and star distribution. With a knowledge of algebra and trigonometry the student should find this course one of the more pleasant ways of fulfilling his science requirement while those taking mathematical training will find...
...daughter of Philip Stockton, president of Boston's First National Bank. ¶ To Abbe Georges Lemaitre, professor at the University of Louvain. now lecturing at Catholic University in Washington, D. C., author of the ''expanding universe" theory which views the present universe as shrapnel of one atom exploded some five billion years ago: the Francqui Prize of 500.000 francs ($23,000) for scientific work of such importance as to boost Belgium's prestige. Donor of the award, second only to the Nobel Prize, is Emile Francqui, banker, one of Europe's dozen richest...
Nuclear disintegration as brought about by the action of cosmic rays on dense materials has been the subject of long research at the New Research Laboratory. One of the purposes of the experiments is to determine the size of the nucleus of an atom of any particular substance. In the course of their investigation the scientists also hope to find out if there are any other cosmic ray particles in addition to high-speed electrons...
...discoveries so far would seem to indicate that the long-hoped for decomposition of the atom is not an impossibility," stated Jabez C. Street, instructor in Physics and director of this research, when asked to comment on the possibilities of the work. "Since the photon leaves no track, it loses none of its energy in passing through the air. It there fore has much more energy with which to disintegrate the nuclei than the electron. As a result of this fact, it has a high efficiency in bombarding nuclei. It remains therefore only to discover the practical application of this...
