An eight‐week seminar in theoretical metallurgy on energetics in metallurgical phenomena will be held at the University of Denver from June 15 to August 7. The purpose of the seminar is to supply a common focusing point for the application of the basic sciences to the understanding of matter. The program is as follows:June 15–19, theory of rate processes (Henry Eyring); June 22–26, application of kinetics to metallurgical systems (Milton E. Wadsworth); June 29–July 10, stochastic processes and reaction kinetics (Elliott W. Montroll); July 13–25, continuum mechanics approach to deformation and material properties determination (E. H. Lee); July 27–Aug. 7, effects of high pressures on condensed state reactions (Larry Kaufman).
