Show Quantum mechanics to be discussed Consisting of a set ol rules for calculating the properties of atom-'ic atom-'ic and nuclear matter, the meaning mean-ing of Quantum Mechanics will be discussed by Dr. Willis E. Lamb, Jr., Monday 7 p.m. in Orson Or-son Spencer Hall Auditorium, as part of the Frontiers of Science free public lecture series predated pre-dated by the Department of Physics Phys-ics at the University. Viewing the range of applicability applic-ability of Quantum Mechanics, Dr. Lamb will discuss its systems h extend from large systems containing many atoms (solids, liquids, gages, plasmas), to mic-wspic mic-wspic objects such as mole-sand mole-sand more elementary "par-tcles," "par-tcles," Dr. Lamb will also discuss Possibilities of this reason- self-contained discipline to Scribe the physical and chem-1 chem-1 properties of ordinary matter. ) Before becoming a member of He faculty of such universities colleges as Columbia, Har-'f.
