...need for a practical interest to spur me." At an opposite pole is M.I.T.'s Charles Stark Draper, an engineering genius in aeronautics and astronautics who describes himself as nothing more than "a greasy-thumb mechanic type of fellow." And there is William Shockley, who with two colleagues (John Bardeen and Walter Brattain) earned a 1956 Nobel Prize for creating the transistor?that hugely useful little solid-state device that has made possible everything from the fob-sized portable radio to the fantastic instrumentation that the U.S. packs into its space satellites. Shockley, who uses a yellow legal pad instead...
...June 30, 1948, Bell, with its usual modesty, issued the scientific understatement of the decade: "The Bell Telephone Laboratories wishes to demonstrate today a new device. Its essential simplicity indicates the possibility of widespread use." For finding out why, Brattain and two theoretical physicists, William Shockley and John Bardeen, won a Nobel Prize...
Perhaps most notable of all are the scientists: Physicist John Bardeen, who shared a Nobel prize for perfecting the transistor; Astronomer James G. Baker, inventor of a satellite-tracking camera; Chemist R. B. Woodward, synthesizer of quinine and reserpine; Physicist Ivan A. Getting, World War II radar pioneer and now a vice president of Raytheon; Physicist James B. Fisk, president of Bell Telephone Laboratories and the West's chief expert on atom-test bans in the Geneva negotiations with the Russians...
...eight students who went to the meeting are: James M. Bardeen '60, Croman, Eldon J. Eisenach '60, Otto B. Gerlach '61, Stephen S. Graham '60, Ted W. Margadant '62, Oliver, Council Treasurer, and Eugene H. Zagat, Jr. '61, Council vice-president...
...Bardeen added that he was anxious to clear the matter with Dean Watson. Watson, who will make any decision, was unavailable for comment last night. Samuel H. Beer, professor of Government and advisor to the HLU, said yesterday that the wording should be interpreted by the Dean's office...
