HE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE RADIUM T Institute of the Curie Foundation was celebrated at the UNESCO Palace, Paris, France, on April 27, 1971, with Robert Boulin, Minister of Health, presiding. Other distinguished participants were: The President of the Administrative Council of the Curie Foundation, J. Roche; Professor A. Lacassagne, Honorary Director of the Radium Institute; C. Chavanne and R. Latarjet, Directors, respectively, of the Clinical and Biological Sections of the Institute, and J. Regaud and Mercier. Also attending were several former foreign trainees or alternates; among them were Sir Brian Windeyer of Great Britain (1929), J. Jovin of Rumania (1924), and the present author, Maurice Lenz of the United States (1923-1924). The speakers traced the history of the growth and development of the Radium Institute from its modest beginning in 1921 to its prominent position in 1971.
