The Bernard Price Institute of Geophysical Research

Abstract

The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, provides higher education for the largest City in the Union of South Africa and, as a result of the considerable mining and industrial activities of the City, is well staffed and equipped on the scientific and engineering sides. The University has recently been able to establish a geophysical research laboratory through the generosity of the Carnegie Corporation of New York and of Dr. Bernard Price, a Director of the Victoria Falls and Transvaal Power Company. The Bernard Price Institute of Geophysical Research, as it is called, will be opened officially in October of this year.
