committee on awards for grants in-aid of research of the sigma xi society eleven grants of money were made to various institutions of learning among these a grant of 300 was made to prof b k erdoss of lehigh university the grant was made with the understanding that lehigh would contribute 200 of its own money to aid in the experiments that professor erdoss has been en gaged in during the war professor er doss was doing some work for the u s navy in the field of aero dynamics the navy therefore stood the expense of having some extremely delicate and expensive equipment installed in the schlie ren laboratory now that the war is over the navy is allowing the university to keep the equipment the schlieren method was first introduced to the university by prof m c stuart of the m e department who is now on leave of absence in the american uni versity in biarritz france this method has been in use for some time in the study of air flow the principal is really quite simple in basis but extremely del icate in practice the air in a wind tunnel is passed over heated coils it can then be seen when special light is passed over it be cause of the condensation of the warmed air therefore the air wake of an obstacle in the path of the air currents can be photo graphed the money has been received from the sigma xi society and it will enable the work that has been done by professor erdoss in the past to continue for at least an other year this laboratory is also a big step in the initiation of an aero-dynamics major course that is now being started in the uni versity
