THE RADIO SERVICE OF THE UNIVERSITY 

 OF WISCONSIN 



Extensive new radiophone broadcasting 

 services were started by Station WHA, Univer- 

 sity of Wisconsin, on Monday, May 29, to be 

 continued throughout the summer and until 

 further notice. 



Noonday radio broadcasts, consisting of five- 

 or ten-minute talks, will be sent at 1 :05 p.m. 

 five days each week. These talks will be by 

 members of the university faculty and in many 

 eases will be delivered in person. They will be 

 on subjects of general interest and will enable 

 the public to hear university men talking on 

 subjects on which they are authorities. 



A Tuesday night university radiophone lec- 

 ture course was started on May 30. At 8 

 o'clock every Tuesday night a university pro- 

 fessor will broadcast a twenty-minute lecture 

 on a subject of general interest. The first lec- 

 ture was a Memorial Day address delivered by 

 Professor W. F. Lorenz, major in the Thirty- 

 second Division, now actively associated with 

 the rehabilitation of disabled soldiers. - 



These new broadcasting services will not 

 affect the present services of University Sta- 

 tion WHA. It will continue the Friday night 

 musical appreciation course and radiophone 

 news service of the University Press Bureau, as 

 well as the daily market and weather reports 

 and services for amateurs.

 ture courses will be sent to the newspapers in 

 advance. The program of the first week was 

 ae follows :

 Spirit," by Professor E. H. Gardner.

SCIENTIFIC EXHIBIT AT THE MEETING OF 

 THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION 



The Journal of the American Medical Asso- 

 eiation states that this year the exhibit exceeded 



expectations in the number of exhibitors, while 

 the C|uality of the work shown was of a high 

 order. The setting for the exhibit was much 

 better than usual; the booths were of pleasing 

 appearance, painted green with white trim- 

 mings, and with overhanging plants. As has 

 teen customary, the exhibit was classified. The 

 educational section included a number of ex- 

 hibits of charitable or semi-public organizations. 

 Probably the pathologic section was the most 

 interesting. Here one found such exhibits as 

 that on pelykography (Dr. Keuben Peterson, 

 University of Michigan) ; studies on ringworm 

 fungi (Mr. Robert Hodges, University of Ala- 

 bama); specimens of flagellate protozoa under 

 well illuminated microscopes (Dr. Kenneth 

 Lynch, Dallas, Texas) ; work on the bile factor 

 in pancreatitis (Drs. F. C. Mann and A. S. 

 Giordano, Mayo Clinic) ; gross pathologic 

 specimens and comparative Roentgen ray rec- 

 ords (Dr. Eugene Opie, St. Louis), and the 

 excellent work on renal circulation (Depart- 

 ment of Urology, University of California). 

 The most striking exhibit in the surgical sec- 

 tion was the display of plaster casts and com- 

 parative photographs dealing with facial sur- 

 gery; one half of the exhibit was devoted to 

 civilian work, the other half to war reconstruc- 

 tion (Dr. Vilray P. Blair, St. Louis). In the 

 medical section the diagnosis of syphilis from 

 the laboratory point of view was well presented 

 (Dr. Loyd Thompson, Hot Springs, Ark.); in 

 another booth was an interesting exhibit of 

 pigeons illustrating vestibular tremors (Dr. 

 C. L. Woolsey, Boston). In addition to the 

 foregoing were a large number of electrocardio- 

 graphic exhibits. The total number of ex- 

 hibitions was 48, thus divided: educational, 12; 

 pathologic, 10; surgical, 6; medical, 6; electro- 

 cardiographic, 14. On the stage of the audi- 

 torium the work of the various councils and the 

 chemical laboratory of the American Medical 

 Association was shown. 



The committee on awards, consisting of Drs. 

 W. B. Cannon, Greorge Dock and Louis B. 

 Wilson, made the following recommendations : 



The Gold Medal to Drs. Frank Hinman, D. M. 

 Morison, A. E. Belt and K. K. Lee-Brown, of the 

 University of California Medical School, for a 

 study of renal circulation. 



The Silver Medal to Mr. Eobert A. Hodges,
