Continental Classroom (NBC, 6:30-7:30 a.m.). The new semester starts. First lecture: the University of California's Nobel Laureate Dr. Glenn Seaborg on The TV Chemistry Course. Color...
...Bridgman (1946 prize-physics of high pressures): "If I think that my colleague may be able to make some helpful suggestion, I can feel it only highly irrelevant that he may not have secured clearance by the FBI." ¶The University of California's Berkeley Chancellor Glenn T. Seaborg (1951 prize -synthesis of new elements): "I am concerned about the virtual absence of easy, direct communication with scientists of the Soviet Union . . . Poland, Czechoslovakia and China. If we do not get a proper perspective on the development of science in countries such as China, we shall not be able...
...devoted to atomic physics: Columbia University's Dr. Polykarp Kusch (March 9), Caltech's Dr. Carl D. Anderson (May 6), Columbia's Dr. Isidor I. Rabi (May 15), Stanford's Dr. Felix Bloch (May 19), the University of California's chancellor, Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg (May 29), the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory's director, Dr. Edwin M.

In 1957 he became a leading teacher-by-television in the science series programmed by San Francisco's hot-shot educational TV station, KQED. He recently helped overhaul math and science teaching in California public schools...
...first reluctant to spend as much time away from the Radiation Lab as his new job will require, Chancellor-elect Seaborg has pledged himself to "keep uppermost in.mind the crucial and classical function of a university in society: to foster free inquiry and teaching under the highest possible standards of objective scholarship." But many scientists will still wonder whether one of the world's best chemists should pour himself into the world of university management-which, even at one of the best campuses in the nation, consists largely of parking problems, building plans and ruffled regents...
