Abstract
BIRMINGHAM.—The University having been associaated with the Birmingham General Hospital as constituting the Birmingham centre of the Radium Commission, 1 gm. of radium has been lent by the Commission to the General Hospital and 0.5 gm. to the University. The radium lent to the University is to be used for the production of radium emanation (radon) and a small building for this purpose is being erected as part of the Physics Department under the control of the Poynting professor of physics, Prof. S. W. J. Smith. The radon produced is to be distributed to all hospitals which are at the present time recognised by the Faculty of Medicine as teaching institutions connected with the University. Certain other institutions in the area, on making application to the Faculty and furnishing evidence of suitability, will also be supplied.
