...hundred more strained their ears. This was but one of a thousand discourses made last week at the midwinter talk carnival of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in St. Louis. But for most of the audience it marked the end of the "mystery" of cosmic rays, wrote finis to one of the most reverberating scientific controversies of the century. The tall, rugged man with deep-set eyes and heavy chin who was reading a paper was Arthur Holly Compton. Newshawks esteem this topflight physicist and Nobel Prizewinner of the University of Chicago for his ability...
First Finder. Like a good scientist Dr. Compton thought it best to begin at the beginning: "In order to place the results of the recent studies of cosmic rays in appropriate perspective, let us recall very briefly their early history. It is well known how at the beginning of the present century. . . ." At the beginning of the present century Geitel of Germany, experimenting with a quartz-fibre electroscope, noticed that for no apparent reason the air in his instrument gradually became more electrified or ionized. Later experimenters discovered that thick screens of lead or water shut out some...
Nevertheless photons are electrically neutral, are not swerved by magnetic fields. If the cosmic rays were Millikan photons, they should not tend to cluster about Earth's strongly magnetic poles, to avoid the weakly magnetic Equator. Yet a Dutchman named Clay, traveling from Holland to Java, found a drop in cosmic ray intensity at the Equator. Kolhorster took this to mean that at least some of the rays were not photons of light, but electrically charged particles of matter...
...Rutier, such more freestyle star, will force Chreodowell to the limit. Ulen thinks, while Graham Cammiags, an- other Sophomore, and Captain Bob Fisher should do well in the back stroke. Bud Fits and Buddy Merriam ought to win the diving events, even though they will be pitted against Ray Lacombe, New England low board champion...
Restorative treatment and X-ray research occupied the attention of the Technical Research department throughout the year. The chief undertaking in the restorative line was the retransference of a large Sienese painting of Girolamo di Benvenuto. In X-ray work, an extended study of early American painting was carried through...
