Abstract
IN recent years the study of materials by means of X-ray diffraction has come to occupy an important place in scientific research both in the universities and in industry. This field of study enters into physical, chemical, metallurgical, mineralogical and biological research. The necessary X-ray technique is, however, highly specialized, and for its proper understanding a fundamental training is required. An attempt to meet the demand for such courses was made at the University of Cambridge by the provision of Summer Schools in the years 1943-46. Although these schools were very successful, they are now to be discontinued ; but, if the demand warrants, consideration will be given to their continuation at the Manchester College of Technology under the direction of Dr. H. Lipson. Correspondence should be addressed to the Director of Extra-Mural Studies, University, Manchester, 13.
