Abstract
In addition to the research carried on in the University of Chicago's physics department, a substantial amount of physics research is pursued in the University's three research institutes: the Institute for the Study of Metals, the Institute for Nuclear Studies, and the Institute of Radiobiology and Biophysics. Supported jointly by the University and by subscriptions from private industries, the institutes may essentially be regarded as a new experiment in education and science and in the relation of the two to industry. Their laboratories, representing a capital investment of over twenty million dollars, provide facilities beyond the means of any single department. The participation of staff members from many departments makes possible the fullest utilization of the new facilities. The institutes have a total academic and professional staff of about 150 persons and about 185 other employees.
