Induktion ist mir nicht völlig klar geworden. Jedenfalls
möchte ich bemerken, dass für die theoretische Deutung
dieser Phänomene die molekulare Struktur nicht wesentlich
in Betracht kommt.” Provenance: GyBP, I. Abt., Rep. 34,
Nr. 8, Mappe Lehmann. [77 850].

granted 3,000 M, pending the approval of the KWIP board
of trustees. Provenance: GyBP, I. Abt., Rep. 34, Nr. 10,
