They will help repair the deficiencies occasioned by the sabbatical leaves of Professors Brower and Guerard; and as for Professors Levin and Bate and myself, we shall all teach here for half...

If 335 copies of Shoop & Tuve's Mechanical Engineering Practice filled a crate, and a school wanted only 100 it had to take all 335 or none. Result: most schools were taking none...
Uranium Attack. The Department of Terrestrial Magnetism has a powerfully equipped atom-smashing laboratory, headed by Dr. Merle Anthony Tuve. Early this year, when two Germans announced disintegration of the heavy uranium atom with release of 200,000,000 electron-volts of energy (most powerful man-made atomic explosion), Dr. Tuve and co-workers promptly confirmed the discovery, added the find that the uranium fragments become radioactive, continuing to emit particles for a few seconds after the impacts have stopped...

He went to the University...
