...woman who has thought about all this and taken a reasonable, constructive, moderate and just slightly outraged stand is Mary I. Bunting, 51, mother, microbiologist, and the new president of Radcliffe College. U.S. girls, she thinks, grow up in "a climate of unexpectation," willing to be educated but convinced by "hidden dissuaders" that they will not really use their education. Mrs. Bunting, who describes herself as "a geneticist with nestbuilding experience," finds unexpectation hidden everywhere. As she puts...
...cheese spread. The National Cheese Institute wanted to learn how to prevent such deaths, which are caused by microbes that sometimes get into spreads and make botulin, the deadliest natural poison known. The University of Chicago's Food Research Institute took on the job, assigned Polish-born Microbiologist Nicholas Grecz to work on it. Grecz was led to Limburger because, as early as the 1880s, Limburger-type cheeses had been observed never to cause food poisoning. Nobody knew...
...Bunting brought more than the skills of a distinguished microbiologist to her new job. The mother of four children, she described herself as "a geneticist with nest-building experience." Since 1955 she had held the top administrative post at Douglass College, a division of Rutgers, and shown herself an energetic leader in tackling the problems of women's education. Arthur S. Adams, President of the American Council on Education, declared that President Bunting's inauguration marked "a new beginning in the life of a great college...
John Franklin Enders, 63, was on his way to earning a Harvard Ph.D. in English when he met the late great Microbiologist Hans Zinsser. Inspired by Zinsser, Enders switched to bacteriology. But inspiration, he insists, has little place in the practical results of research. "As a rule, the scientist takes off from the manifold observations of his predecessors . . . The one who places the last stone and steps across to the terra firma of accomplished discovery gets all the credit." Thus Dr. Jonas Salk got most of the credit for developing polio vaccine. But it was Enders' patient work that first...
Though women control the nation's men and money, good feminine minds seem to be going to seed in P.T.A. suburbia. Last week peppery President Mary Bunting of Radcliffe College-herself a noted microbiologist and mother of four -announced a unique chance for "intellectually displaced" women. Called the Radcliffe Institute for Independent Study, it is aimed at women who abandoned academic careers to raise families...
