Abstract
BY the courtesy of Prof. C. E. Tilley and of Sir Lawrence Bragg, a Summer School in X-ray Crystallography will be held for the fourth consecutive year in the Department of Mineralogy and Petrology, and in the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. The School is conceived as a means of providing an introduction to the fundamental theory, methods, and techniques of X-ray diffraction, so that those whose researches, whether in the universities or in industry, lie in the field of physics, chemistry, metallurgy, mineralogy, or biology may be able to recognize in their own work the types of problem to which these methods may with advantage be applied. The greater part of the course will be devoted to practical work on the interpretation of the various types of X-ray photograph. For the last two days, however, alternative lectures and demonstrations will be offered in A and B sections. The A section will include further steps, theoretical and practical, in the study of crystal structures, while in the B section some applications of the earlier work of the course to metallurgical problems will be studied. The School will be held from Monday, September 2 to Friday, September 13 inclusive. A detailed syllabus and form of application for admission can be obtained from Mr. G. F. Hickson, Secretary of the Board of Extra-Mural Studies, Stuart House, Cambridge, to whom the completed application form should be returned not later than July 1.
