While the new structure includes chemical and pathological laboratories for the work of those departments of the Cancer Commission, the greater part of its space is occupied by laboratories for the study of a special and important field of science--that of bio-physics, a department in which the physicist and the biologist meet and work in co-operation to apply to complicated biological problems the accurate measurements, the immutable laws, and the mathematical methods of the physicist...
...seem undesirable. However, the study of medicine is progressive: one cannot be expected to study anatomy efficiently without some knowledge of zoology; one does no better in physiology and pathology without anatomy; one can have little conception of the way drugs act in disease without physiology, pathology and bio-chemistry; and one can have no clear conception of clinical medicine and surgery without a previous knowledge of all of the foregoing subjects...
Radio activity and X-rays will be the subject of a talk tonight at 8 P.M. in the large lecture room of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory by William Duane '93, professor of Bio-Physics at the University. This will be the first of a series of three lectures which the Physics Department is to offer to the Public this spring on topics of every-day Interest...
William Duane '93, professor of Bio-Physics at the University, whose recent discovery of the means of obtaining very penetrating X-rays has attracted attention, will lecture on radio activity and X-rays on Thursday evening, March 31, in the large lecture room of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory...
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...
