...Spirit of Modern Architecture" was the subject of a talk by Joseph Hudnut, Dean of the Graduate School of Design, given last night over short-wave radio station WIXAL...
...region. Connected to an ammeter, the collector translated the strength of the electron beam at a number of points into measured electric current. The pattern having been thus patiently and ingeniously mapped out, it was seen to consist of true diffraction rings. Concluded the researchers: "Our experiments establish the wave nature of moving electrons with the same certainty as the wave nature of X-rays...
This technique has become of great practical importance for investigating crystal structures. Meanwhile, with the impetus provided by this experimental confirmation, the wave theory was developed by de Broglie. Heisenberg, Schroedinger and Dirac into the monumental theoretical structure which is modern quantum Mechanics. All these theorists are Nobel Prizewinners...
Last week the Swedish Academy of Sciences reached back ten years in atomic history, back to the experimental demonstrators of the wave nature of electrons, awarded to Clinton Joseph Davisson and George Paget Thomson this year's Nobel Prize for Physics. Each will receive about $20,000. Said dark, lantern-jawed Dr. Davisson, already much honored for his researches: "I am suffering from a bad case of stage fright...
Professor Arthur E. Kennelly, Emeritus, while actively engaged in this department, gained world-wide recognition for his work on electrical units and electrical wave propagation; Professor Comfort A. Adams, Emeritus, contributed greatly to our knowledge of electrical machines; and Dean Harry E. Clifford, Emeritus, formerly Dean of the Graduate School of Engineering, was recognized for his work as an educator and editor in addition to his engineering achievements...
