Lindsay Writes
On Jethods At
Swedish College
Prof. George A. Lindsay of the phys-
ics department, who is absent on leave
this year studying the x-ray in the
laboratory of Prof. Manne Siegbaun, at
the University of Lund, Sweden, has
written Prof. Harrison M. Randall, di-
rector of the phsics laboratory, con-
cerning his activities there.
Professor Lindsay is working with
a vacuum spectrometer upon "L-series
absorption wave lengths" characteris-
tic of barium and caesium. Less than
15 staff members work in the physics
laboratory and only 8 or 10 students
take physics courses, he says. These
are all specializing in physics no stu-
dents take any work in physics unless
they intend to specialize in the sub-
ject.
In the interets of obtaining infor-
mation as to laboratory methods and
equipment, Professor Lindsay has vis-
ited the laboratories at Manchester,
Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Christiania.
"The thing which impressed me par-
ticularly in England and Scotland," he
states, "was their simple equipment.
They evidently have not the funds to
buy expensive equipment."
