Abstract
TEN years ago the subject of Prof. Crews vice-presidential address was “Facts and Theories in Spectroscopy”. Since that time some notable discoveries have been made and some remarkable theories have challenged attention. It is my purpose to review a few of the more important experimental results and to discuss the relations of some of them to theories brought before you in two recent vice-presidential addresses on Atomic Theories of Radiation and The Theory of the Nucleus Atom. Inasmuch as it will be necessary to refer to them, I will restate the salient features of the theories which have attracted the most attention.
