Abstract
THE Massachusetts Institute of Technology has recently announced a special summer programme on applied physics, in connexion with which a conference on spectroscopy and its applications will be held on July 20–22, and a conference on colour on July 23–25. The former conference will include discussions on spectroscopic analysis of materials, and on other applications of spectroscopy to biology, medicine, chemistry, metallurgy, mineralogy and to industrial and engineering problems; the latter will include spectrophotometry, colorimetry, and the applications of colour measurements to industrial problems. Detailed consideration will be given to the behaviour and control of the colour of dyes and pigments, and their application in such fields as the paint, ink, paper, textile and ceramics industries. These conferences come at the conclusion of the courses on spectroscopic analysis of materials which are being given at the Institute during the six weeks from June 16 until July 24. There is no charge for attendance at the meetings of the conferences, copies of the detailed programmes of which will be sent on application to Prof. G. R. Harrison, Department of Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
