Abstract
A HEADERSHIP in crystallography has been established in association with the Department of Chemistry of University College, London, and Dr. Kathleen Lonsdale has been appointed to the post. This marks the first major step in the creation of a new university centre for the training of crystallographers and crystallographic research workers. Dr. Lonsdale, who received her university education at Bedford College, London, distinguishing herself in physics and mathematics, obtained her research training at the Royal Institution under the late Sir, William Bragg, whose research assistant she eventually became. Except for two years as Amy Lady Tate Fellow in the University of Leeds, and for short periods covering the infancy of her children, Dr. Lonsdale has, since graduation, been associated with the Royal Institution, latterly as Dewar Fellow, and during the past twenty years as one of the most notable contributors to its distinguished record of research. She was one of the first two women to be elected to the fellowship of the Royal Society.
