WILLIAMS TO GIVE FIRST OF FIVE LECTURES ON MONDAY

Eminent Physicist is Authority on Atoms

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Beginning Monday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock, and continuing throughout next week, Professor J. B. Williams of the University of Wisconsin will deliver a series of five public lectures in 110 Pierce Hall on subjects of interest to students of physics, chemistry, and engineering.

Professor Williams has made an intensive study of atomic reactions in high voltage insulations, and has done much to reconcile the theory of molecular reactions as advanced by physical-chemists with the practical application of dialectrics for high voltage as practiced by electrical engineers. He studied abroad for several years under Professor Debye, eminent Geman exponent of the Dipole theory of reactions. Recently the General Electric has employed him in research work along this line.
