Working independently for the American Committee for Democracy and Intellectual Freedom, Harlow Shapley, Paine Professor of Practical Astronomy and Director of the College Observatory, and Donald H. Menzel, associate professor of Astronomy, have furnished material for an open letter to the Board of Education of New York City warning against violations of intellectual freedom in the New York School situation...
Professors Shapley and Menzel along with Professor Ernest M. Patterson of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, made separate analyses of the Ackley trial, the first of the Education Board's trials in City College cases...
Verification seemed near last week. Harvard Observatory's Donald Howard Menzel amplified Edlen's theory with data from his Siberian eclipse expedition in 1936 and from Harvard's coronagraph observatory at Climax, Colo. Inside the sun, atoms are so highly ionized-having most of their electrons wrenched away from their nuclei-that they are not matter as we know it but rather invisible, sub atomic debris. These hot, degenerate gases are expanded, Menzel believes, by the force of great whirlpools within the sun. Therefore, streaming out of the sun's interior in occasional eruptions, the gases...
Aiming their new warlike instrument at the sun from the Harvard station in Climax, Colorado, Donald H. Menzel, Prof. of Astrophysics and his assistant Walter Roberts, a graduate student in Astronomy, are shown above. This new station is the most recent addition to the ever expanding horizons of Dr. Shapley's world famous observatory on Garden St., here in Cambridge. The instrument embodies the most recent developments in optics including the new "invisible glass" coating which was developed by Dr. C. H. Cartwright at M. I. T. It will study the mysterious solar corona and prominences, upheavals of which occasionally...
Professor Menzel will give a free public lecture tonight about this instrument and the work done with it this summer. The title of his talk, which is one of a series of regular "Open Night" lectures at the Observatory, will be "Mystery of the Solar Corona...
