Description: 
This large university is located in Lithuania. Staff members publish 
extensively in the fields of theoretical physics, mathematics, and solid-state 
physics, with particular reference to properties of semiconducting compounds. 
Other fields of interest are astronomy, geology, organic chemistry, analytical 
chemistry, atmospheric studies, climatology and meteorology, and crystals. 
Studies have also been made in metal finishing and electroplating, for example, 
anodizing of aluminum and electrolytic deposition of manganese. The univer- 
sity publishes collections of articles in a Mokslo Darbai and a Uchenyye 
Zapiski, the latter reporting especially on work in mathematics and physics. 
Candidate’s and Doctor's Degrees are granted. 
The University operates the Vil'nyus Astronomical Observatory which 
in 1957 was under the direction of P. Slavenas. The Observatory has been 
continuously observing the movement of artificial earth satellites, and has a
