N.S.F. Gives Holton Grant for Research

A $14,000 grant from the National Science Foundation will enable Gerald Holton, associate professor of Physics, to take a leave of absence for research next year.

Holton has accepted an invitation from the Laboratory of High Pressure Physics of the Sorbonne and plans to spend about six months there investigating the properties of solids at pressures exceeding 10,000 atmospheres.

He will leave Cambridge next January and return at the beginning of the spring term in 1961.
