The donation to the Cavendish is the largest since it was created in 1874. He is one of the managers of the Winton
Department of Physics, Lund University 1839. Although a pure department of science was not established until the late 19th century, the seeds for the department was established in 1735 when the physics teaching received its own space in the building Kungshuset. The teaching was held inside Kungshuset until the late 19th century, when the department moved to its own building which had instrumental halls, auditoriums, workshops and a library. The department moved again in 1950 to a large building complex named "Fysicum" due to increased space requirements, and its been where since then. At the Department of Physics advanced research takes place divided in different
