The atomic-energy-for-military-purposes report, produced by a committee including men from both sources and chaired by Smyth, who holds dual connection, typifies the scope of coordination which can exist, despite barriers of formal organization, in a compact and relatively isolated collegiate center...

Probably not more than 200 professionally trained astronomers are active in this country at the present time. For the A.B. Astronomer fresh from college, there are few alternatives. Although one became a ballet dancer a few years back, most of them go to work in allied subjects in secondary schools and then work up to Astronomy positions in colleges and universities.
