Abstract
DR. F. SIMON, who has been appointed to succeed Prof. A. C. G. Egerton as reader in thermodynamics at Oxford (see p. 895), took his degree in Berlin in 1921. He was Privatdozent and extraordinary professor of physics there until 1931. From 1931 until 1933 he was director of the physical-chemical institute of the University of Breslau. He was in California for six months in 1932 as a visiting professor. During the last three years he has been working in the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford on low temperature research, particularly on the production of very low temperatures by the magnetic cooling method, and on the properties of matter in the neighbourhood of the absolute zero.
