...school was the lifetime dream of President-Emeritus Abbott Lawrence Lowell whose standard work on The Government of England laments the absence of a U. S. counterpart to the university-trained British Civil Service. After accepting the gift of Gloveman Littauer, who once sat in Congress (1897-1907), Chemist Conant appointed a steering committee headed by Princeton's public-spirited President Harold Willis Dodds to engage in a preliminary survey. Since March the committee has been conferring privately with Government bigwigs, including Secretaries Wallace and Morgenthau. These and similar "exploratory sessions" will be all the gradually assembling faculty...
There are two fundamental fields that are covered in these five courses--the detection and determination of the elements, and quantitative measurement of physical phenomena. Training in both of these is essential for either the chemist or the physicist, but the one fits obviously into the field of chemistry, the other into that of physics. As the two are well defined, might it not be possible to separate them into two one-year courses? They would both take at least 8 hours a week of laboratory work and would preferably not be taken simultaneously. The chemical course would...
While other women have had appointments as instructors and research assistants, Dr. Hamilton twice held a three year appointment as an assistant professor in the School of Public Health. She resigned September 1, 1935 and now holds the position of consulting chemist for the U. S. Department of Labor...
...Said Chemist James Kendall of Edinburgh University, onetime professor at Columbia and New York Universities, in Manhattan on his way to a convention of the American Chemical Society next week: "Fantastic as this development may sound, I believe that with the next ten or 15 years, drinking of heavy water (TIME, March 25, 1935) by those who have passed 60, as a means of prolonging the 'reward years of life,' will be commonplace...
Oberlin's most generous alumnus, however, was none of these but the late President Charles Martin Hall of Aluminum Co. of America. In 1886, when he was a poor 22-year-old Oberlin graduate, Chemist Hall completed the experiments he had started in an Oberlin laboratory more than a year before, discovered the electrolytic extraction process which made possible the commercial refinement of aluminum. As a result, Oberlin received $9,000,000, one third of Chemist Hall's estate, besides a statue of him as a young man, in glowing solid aluminum...
