Description

On november 22, 1950, in the course of the formal beginning of term ceremony, the University of Strasbourg was pleased to confer on Professor VENING-MEINESZ the degree of Doctor Honoris Causa. In his speech of acknowledgement, Professor VENING-MEINESZ paid tribute to the fact that his colleague, Edmond ROTHE, had created at Strasbourg a centre of radio-geological research and during his visit to the Institute of Terrestrial Physics, the scholar whom we are honouring today expressed an interest in the new measurements that I was able to show him. I am happy to offer to him in homage some results of a systematic study of radioactivity of the Hercynian Vosges. (author)

Le 22 novembre 1950, au cours de sa seance solennelle de rentree, l'Universite de Strasbourg avait la joie de decerner au professeur VENING-MEINESZ le grade de Docteur Honoris Causa. Dans son allocution de remerciements, le professeur VENING-MEINESZ voulait bien rappeler que son collegue Edmond ROTHE avait cree a Strasbourg un centre de recherches de radiogeologie; et vistant l'Institut de Physique du Globe, le savant que nous honorons aujourd'hui acceptait de s'interesser aux mesures nouvelles que je pus alors lui presenter. Je suis heureux de lui offrir en hommage quelques resultats d'une etude systematique de radioactivite des Vosges hercyniennes. (auteur)
