THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO PREPARE FOR IT New Fields of Research and Achievement ... FROM THE AIR

Rare Gases Now Available in Quantity Offer Challenging Subject for Study

Among the least known of the elements have been the rare gases—Krypton and Xenon. Occurring in the atmosphere in concentration of one part per million for Krypton, and one part per twelve million for Xenon, their very scarcity gave them the status of "scientific curiosities" for a long time. But now, these gases are available in quantity in refined, compressed form. As these gases assume the different role of "new" materials, their individual physi- cal and electrical properties are finding interesting uses. The increased efficiency of hot cathode (fluorescent) lights is a direct result of using Krypton as the gas filler. The brightest light ever made by man is pro- duced by an electrical discharge through a column of Krypton ... these lights are used to penetrate fog at airports. Xenon is replacing mercury vapor in industrial (thyratron) tubes, to avoid low temperature condensation troubles. It is Xenon that makes practical the "repeater" (gas discharge) photographic.flash lamp—the low resistance and good spectral range of the gas both being important. In the fast-growing field of atomic energy, the rare gases become increasingly important. The use of such gases in Geiger Mueller counter tubes is well familiar. Chemists and physicists on many types of projects will want to study the possible value of these gases in their fields. Others may desire to work with the rare gases as such, contributing to further information in this expanding subject. Graduate students especially may find rare gases a fascinating, challenging, and wide open field for doctoral thesis. In whatever connection, scientists who may want more information on Kryp- ton, Xenon, Argon, etc., are invited to write us fully. Please write Dept. LAP, Room 1502, 30 East 42nd St., New York 17, N.

With much to admire and to deplore, our now mature experience softens the nostalgia for the "old look" of the Campus, for the - gayer doings of Reunions in the twenties. In this quarter century, Cornell in its superb growth has had to become institutional in its ways, its buildings, even in its Reunions. This accounts for its successful war effort and well employed graduates. Unfortunately, it also accounts for Olin and Clara Dickson halls, lack-lustre Reunion crowds, box lunches, and the gloom and noisy monotony of the Barton Hall Rally. Items on the general program enjoyed by us were the well-organized caravan tours, the Faculty tea in Willard Straight, the longer occupancy of dormitories whereby various individual yens might have opportunity for fulfillment.
