Symbolic of his task are the three flags behind his desk: the U.S. Stars and Stripes, the yellow and red banner of South Viet...
Edwin C. Kemble, professor of Physics, emeritus, whose distinguished work in his field and in General Education made him one of the most invaluable men on the Faculty, could well receive an honorary, and Tsung Dao Lee, professor of Physics at Columbia, Francis E.
