  DESCRIPTION  This series chronicles the personal and 
               professional life of Lawrence (1904 1991).  
               Considered one of the pioneers in the field of 
               nuclear medicine, Lawrence was the  brother of 
               LBL's first Director, Ernest O. Lawrence. John 
               Lawrence served as Director  of Donner Laboratory 
               (1948 1970), Professor of Medical Physics at the 
               University of  California at Berkeley (1950 1970), 
               Physician-in-Chief, Donner Pavilion (1954 1970),  
               Associate Director, Lawrence Radiation Laboratory 
               (1959 1970), and Regent of the  University of 
               California (1970 to early 1980s). The series 
               contains correspondence;  photographs; 35mm and 
               lantern slides; preprints and reprints; newspaper 
               clippings;  negatives; charts; graphs; data; 
               manuscripts; course materials; curricula vitae; 
               floor  plans; protocols; records of invention; 
               viewgraphs; speeches and talks; sound recordings; 
               and travel plans. These records clearly depict the 
               scientific and social milieu in  which Lawrence 
               operated. The correspondence documents the growth 
               of Lawrence's  international reputation in nuclear 
               medicine; his personal, religious, and political  
               beliefs; Lawrence family history; and the history 
               of Donner Lab, Donner Pavilion, and  the Metabolic 
               Unit at Cowell Hospital.
