The giant atom-smasher, buried on a hillside on the university campus, will be used for medical science’s new attacks on cancer and leukemia, for research into the secrets of animal and plant life and for industrial research. It will also probe deeper into the atom to reveal the unknown forces that harbour such tremendous energies.
