...Association award for outstanding address of the meeting. With three fellow physicists, Drs. L. R. Hafsted and Odd Dahl of Carnegie Institution and Dr. Gregory Breit of New York University, he worked for several years to develop a two-million-volt tube which produces X-rays equivalent to the gamma rays of 182 million dollars worth of radium. Laboratory significance : scientists by using these powerful rays may be able to burst the atom nucleus. Practical significance: X-rays from high voltage tubes resemble cancer-curing gamma rays, may possibly be used as a radium substitute...
...demonstrated. Dr. William David Coolidge in General Electric Laboratories, Schenectady, has been experimenting for the past year with a 900,000-volt tube not yet perfected for demonstration. Hospitals today use a 200,000-volt tube. Five billion dollars worth of radium (20 Ib.) would be necessary to produce gamma rays equal in power to Dr. Millikan's X-rays. The entire U. S. medical profession today possesses only four million dollars worth of radium. Practical use of the Caltech apparatus has not yet been demonstrated. Before it is used on human beings, plants and animals will be subjected...
...election of five members of the Class of 1931 to the Gamma chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the honorary society of the Engineering School, was announced yesterday by J. S. Wintringham '30, secretary of the organization. Election to Tau Beta Pi is the highest scholastic honor that can be conferred upon a candidate for the degree of S. B. being analogous to Phi Beta Kappa. Those to receive this honor are W. F. Billings '31 of Grand Rapids, Michigan, C. H. Mats '31, W. R. Stone '31, of Athol, R. K. Wesson '31, of Brighton, and F. V.
