The SAT Subject Tests (formerly called the SAT II tests and the Achievement Tests) are a series of college entrance tests that cover specific academic subject areas. Like the better-known SAT test, which measures general verbal and math skills, the SAT Subject Tests are given by the College Entrance Examination Board. Colleges and universities often require applicants to take one or more SAT Subject Tests along with the SAT.

The University of London was founded in 1836 to administer the examinations for two rival colleges University College and King s College. Then in 1856, its mandate was widened to allow candidates from around the world to sit its examinations and hence obtain a degree from the University of London. This could be accomplished without any residence requirement, unlike the other universities of the time. However, there was one stipulation — the candidate had to be male. Thus, the women question was simply whether women should be granted the right to...

The last occasion on which I worked with him was in 1936, when he was asked by the Royal Society to study oil pollution, already a menance to sea birds. Tar on the beaches could conveniently be studied by examining the feet and bottoms of holiday makers. But oil on the water required more strenuous exercise. N. K. persuaded me to row him round Plymouth bay and Plymouth harbour whilst I got the exercise, he was very contentedly measuring the surface tension of the water In 1937, N. K. moved to the University College of Southampton, and his subsequent work is reviewed in the article by M. C. Phillips in this volume. 

A different type of experience is offered by Tufts University, where engineering and science students may enroll for an entire academic year at University College London. This program provides a relatively authentic experience of enrollment in college at a British institution, including the challenge of year-end examinations covering the entire corpus of work. 

Marie and Pierre Curie examined the radiation emitted by radium. They found that all substances near the radiation source became radioactive themselves. The activity even remained some time after the removal of the emitting radium. It was questioned whether there is some radioactive force that was transferred with the radiation and was induced in the receiving substance. In 1900 F. Dom in Halle, Germany, reported on a study of an isotope emanating from radium and, because of that, certainly incorrectly, was credited with the discovery of radon. In fact Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) and Frederick Soddy (1877-1956) were the first to isolate radon and also the first to really understand the nature of radon. In the first decade of 1900 they worked at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and carried out very comprehensive work on radioactivity [52.10]. They discovered that the emanation from radium was a gas of the same type as the noble gases. Ramsay at University College in London completed the spectral work. He showed that the spectrum of radon resembled that of xenon. He also showed that the formation of radon was accompanied by the simultaneous production of helium, as he also observed its spectrum. This observa-...
