Discoveries made by William Duane '93, professor of Bio-Physics at the Medical School, working in collaboration with research students of physics, have made it possible to secure X-rays of more penetrating quality than have ever before been obtained in this country, and these rays are now to be used for the first time in America for the alleviation of cancer...

And yet, the offering of a degree is not a decisive factor...
