...third floor of the main building and spread rapidly to the Carnegie addition, erected several years ago at a cost of $65,000. Firemen were menaced by chemical explosions, a quantity of chemicals which cannot be replaced at present because of the European war being entirely consumed, although radium worth about $1000 was saved. The loss is estimated at $300,000, partly covered by insurance...
Many workers upon radioactivity have pointed out the fact that the most conclusive test concerning the recent theory the degeneration of radioactive elements is to be found in the determination of the atomic weights. Radium has a atomic weight of 226, but is known to decompose by emanations of helium. Each atom of helium has an atomic weight of 4, so that after five emanations, the substance remaining has an atomic, weight of 206. This substance is down as radium G. Lead is known to have an atomic weight of 207, and should therefore be practically indistinguishable from radium...
...Manchester, England, will talk informally on recent advances in the study of radioactivity, in Boylston 9 this evening at 8 o'clock. The lecture will be open to all members of the University. In, 1906, Dr. Rutherford was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry, and his investigation on radium and radioactivity have been epoch-making. He is the author of several books and pamphlets on the subject...
Professor Duane received the degree of A.B. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1892, and from Harvard in 1893, the degree of A.M. from Harvard in 1895, and the degree of Ph.D. from the University of Berlin in 1897. After six years of study in the Curie Radium Laboratory at Paris, he returned to the University last fall as Research Fellow of the Cancer Commission of Harvard University...
...William Duane, of Philadelphia, has been appointed as Assistant Professor in Harvard University, in the Division of Physics. Dr. Duane received the degree of A. M. from Harvard n 1895, and the degree of Ph.D. from Berlin in 1897; and has spent six years in the Curie Radium Laboratory at Paris. He returned to this country as Research Fellow of the Cancer Commission of Harvard University last fall. Professor Duane will devote the greater part of his time to the physiological action of radioactive substances and to the problems in Physics directly connected with this subject at the Harvard Medical...
