✦ Synopsis

Last year, in these columns, mention was made of the Sixth Summer Conference on Spectroscopy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. These proceedings of the Seventh Conference are bound in similar fashion. There are twenty-nine papers contained in this booklet, in somewhat abbreviated form and which were presented before an audience of 250 persons in Cambridge, Massachusetts. First there is a group of papers on the general background and methods of spectrographic analysis of materials; then there are papers on specific types of analysis; these are followed by papers on apparatus which has recently been developed for use in spectrographic analysis; then come papers on light sources and their study and control; then a group of papers on absorption spectrophotometry and its application to chemistry and medicine; and finally papers on miscellaneous spectroscopic subjects. The authors of the papers are all men of mark in this field of endeavor and they provide valuable information to all those interested. R. H. OPPERMANN.
