That teaching and research are not necessarily antagonistic was impressively demonstrated by the life and career of Professor Edwin Herbert Hall. While exhibiting in neither field the flashy brilliance which attracts the plaudits of the mob, he nevertheless presented a solid balance of both which could well be set up as a high goal by the younger teachers and instructors of today...
...drive independents out of business, force farm ers to take lower prices for their goods, foster monopoly, and bleed the communi ties where their stores are located in favor of absentee owners. To these assertions the chains have answers authenticated by impartial groups ranging from The Harvard Bureau of Research to the Federal Trade Commission...
Edwin Herbert Hall, Rumford Professor of Physics, Emeritus, died last night at Cambridge Hospital following an illness of three weeks. Professor Hall, who was 83 years old, and whose research and discoveries in electro-magnetic phenomena were known to scientists throughout the world as the Hall Effect, failed to rally after an operation...
...Alice in Wonderland." To this latter Lewis has come a new Clark to make up what may become a second, a literary "Lewis and Clark," whose fairy tale explorations may be linked together just as naturally as the two early American pioneers. This new Clark is Harry Clark, a research associate in physics at Harvard. Last week Harry Clark's first children's story, "The Story of A Whale" was published...
...this bit of writing. The salient feature is rather that Mr. Clark, who spends his days experimenting in Jefferson Laboratory--stronghold of realism--can so banish his work from mind in his leisure as to write fairy tales. Many eminent scientists here have become so ensnared in their research problems that any whimsical relaxation is out of the question. Mr. Clark, however, has successfully bridged the gap between physics and fantasy. In providing a pleasant story for children, he has also shown embattled physicists a method of useful relaxation; and to a literary world largely dominated by ultra-realistic writers...
