Dr. Tiseliiis, Nobel
Prize Biochemist
To Speak at Rice
Dr. Arne Tiselius, distinguished
Professor of Chemistry at the Bio-
chemical Institute, the University
of Uppsala, Sweden, and winner of
the latest Nobel Prize in Chemistry,
will lecture on "Electrophoresis and
Adsorption Analysis as Tools of Bio-
chemical Research," in the Physics
Amphitheatre of the Rice Institute
at 8:15 p.m., Monday, April 11.
He won the prize for discoveries
in biochemistry and the invention
of important laboratory apparatus.
Among his inventions are two in-
struments known to scientists all
over the world as "Tiselius Appar-
| atus." They are simple, inexpen-
j sive and are equally important in
medicine, biology, industry and
j chemistry. Each is used for the sep-
! aration of proteins, the living tis-
sues that are the bulk of flesh and
bone, into many little chemical com-
pounds.
Dr. Tiselius is a specialist in elec-
trophoresis, which is a method of
moving large molecules with a cur-
rent at a rate determined by their
own electrical charges and which
will some day be generally used to
determine blood serum in diagnos-
ing diseases more accurately than is
row possible.
Bit Men to Address
A. S. M. E, Monday
Mr. W. C. Francis and Mr. Paul
Schmidt of the CLECO (Pneumatic
Tool Division of the Reed Roller
Bit) will talk to the Rice student
section of the A. S. M. E. at their
regular meeting Monday, April 11.
Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Francis will
explain the principle of operation
of pneumatic tools. They will show
some of the pneumatic tools used by
their company.
The meeting will be held in M.L.
20G at 7:30 p.m. lit will be open to
all who wish to attend. Mechanical
Engineering students are especially
invited.
