Abstract
VOL. 21 of Contributions from the Physical Laboratories of Harvard University consists of separate copies of the papers by members of the staff and other research workers which have appeared in the Physical Review, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and of the American Academy and other periodicals during 1930–31. There are forty of them, which differ considerably in type and area of the letterpress, but are all cut to pages 9¼ in. × 6¾ in. Their subjects extend over almost every branch of physics and they testify to the catholicity and quality of the research work done at Elarvard. The completion of the new research laboratory and the improvement of the Jefferson Laboratory during the period covered by the volume afford a suitable opportunity for a 47-page illustrated description of the present buildings and equipment, and a short history of their foundation and of the work done in them, and in the Cruft Laboratory, Nearly 130 men have carried on research in the laboratories during the last thirty years and many of them now fill chairs of physics in American universities.
