Abstract
THE seventeenth award of the Duddell Medal of the Physical Society to Prof. E. O. Lawrence, of the University of California, which was announced in NATURE of June 1, p. 852, has a significance deeper than the honouring of a great American physicist's achievements in the invention and development of the cyclotron. Circumstances permitting, Lord Lothian, the British Ambassador to Washington, will present the Medal to Prof. Lawrence at Philadelphia on the evening of December 27, 1940, the occasion being that of a dinner in connexion with a three-day meeting of the American Physical Society. It is a particularly appropriate occasion, for on the same day there is to be also a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, at which Prof. Lawrence, as a retiring vice-president, will address one of the sections.
