...leaping before an oncoming train at the Harvard Square station shortly before 10 a.m., Beatty struck the 550-volt third rail and then slumped on the tracks. The motorman succeeded in stopping the train just as the wheels of the first car brushed the student's legs...
Nearly 100 scientists and educators gathered at the Nuclear Laboratory last Wednesday to examine Harvard's new 125,000,000 volt synchro-cyclotron and to hear speakers at its official opening...
...hospital is the first unit in the $8,500,000 cancer center which will be completed in 1951. The second unit will be the Atomic Energy Commission's Argonne Cancer Research Hospital. Also under construction are a $2,200,000 synchrocyclotron and a 400-million electron-volt cyclotron in the new Accelerator Building. The complete project will be the first university center devoted exclusively to the study of cancer...
Fifteen years ago, Yale Anatomist Harold Saxton Burr and New York University Gynecologist Louis Langman began to experiment with electrical tests for cancer. They had Yale Physicist Cecil T. Lane build a special microvoltmeter, which measures electrical potentials in microvolts (one-millionth of a volt). Last week, Researchers Burr and Langman announced preliminary results in diagnosing* cancer of the female genital tract...
...activities of the department are not limited to repair, however. The electrical division, for example, has just completed installing the new 15,000 volt transformers to carry the added load of the Physics Lab's cyclotron. But the most spectacular of the department's functions is the heating of Harvard buildings. Steam for over 180 buildings is brought from the Cambridge Electric Light Co. through two 19-inch pipes while a third one carries returning water. These pipes run through four miles of underground tunnels...
