Among those who have been bombarding atoms with alpha particles are Mme Curie's daughter, Irene Curie-Joliot, her husband F. Joliot, Dr. Chadwick and Professor Walter Bothe of Giessen, Germany. Professor Bothe, bombarding beryllium, decided he was creating an artificial super-gamma ray. Dr. Chadwick decided that a proton and an electron knocked loose by alpha particles might combine, without any electrical charge at all, in one unit to make a neutron. This self-contained unit might be the ultimate unit of magnetism, having within itself opposite poles...
...following the clues of radio-activity that Drs. Pauli and Chadwick separately reached their conclusions. Recently Professor Walther Bothe of Giessen, Germany, bombarded the element beryllium with alpha particles. Something happened to the alpha particles. The particles contained four units of positive electricity (protons) and two of negative electricity (electrons) when they crashed into the beryllium. Two protons of an alpha particle seemed to cling to the nucleus of a beryllium atom (thereby theoretically transmuting that atom of beryllium into an atom of carbon). The particle's other two protons and the two electrons seemed changed into what Professor...
...spite of the soundness of President Boar's pedagogic ideas, they did not bear fruit. It was not until one hundred and fifty years later, that Justus Liebig established his famous chemical laboratory at the University of Giessen and demonstrated to the world the unique value of a laboratory for instruction and training in chemistry and, indeed, in science in general...
...last lecture in the King's Chapel series will be given today at 2.30 o'clock in King's Chapel, Boston, by Dr. Gustav Kruger, Professor of Church History in the University of Giessen. The series of lectures deals with recent tendencies in Germany and Dr. Kruger will discuss these tendencies as they have become evident in theology. The lecture will be open to the public...
Professor Gustav Kruger, Rector of the University of Giessen, has been named to give the Ingersoll Lecture on the Immortality of Man this year...
