...exclusive West Coast scientific preserve during the early 1900s by deep-thinking migrants from back East. Most notable among them: Chemist Arthur Noyes, a former acting president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who became the first academic vice president of Caltech; University of Chicago Experimental Physicist Robert Millikan, whose prestige attracted many to the young school; and Astronomer and Cosmologist George Ellery Hale, the school's visionary godfather. Because of their academic specialties, the founding trio are irreverently known as "Stinker, Tinker and Thinker...
...experiments can be safe. The campaign succeeded last week in getting Sen. Edward M. Kennedy '54 (D-Mass.) to withdraw support from his own bill to legislate regulation of the research. Yet scientific assurances about potential dangers of their experiments have often proved false in the past. Robert A. Millikan, winner of the 1923 Nobel prize in physics, predicted that atomic energy would never be harnessed by man. When that idea was discredited scientists told the public that radioactive fallout was only minimally dangerous. Then came Hiroshima and Strontium 90 and Iodine...
...results in Physical Review Letters. But the basic operation of his quark-hunting experiment is known. As their tool, Fairbank and two young colleagues-Arthur Hebard, now at Bell Laboratories, and George LaRue-devised an updated version of the classical "oil drop" experiment, first used by Robert Millikan in 1910 to measure the charge on a single electron. Instead of oil drops, the Fairbank team relied on tiny spheres of niobium, a metal that becomes a superconductor when it is chilled to near absolute zero. When the sphere is levitated in a strong magnetic field, and virtually stripped of electrical...
Captain Kevin Millikan (177) has also qualified to participate in the NCAA tournament. Millikan was undefeated as a sophomore, and he has recovered from a year of injuries for an 8-2-1 record this winter...
