...projects, agreed almost unanimously that when several nations tackled a problem, enough raw information was provided to last for years of analysis. "IGY was a sure way of demonstrating that science is international, and is strong only when carried on with a disregard for national boundaries," one physicist said...
Dealing out annual awards, the American Society of Civil Engineers honored, with a prize for outstanding research, University of California Professor Hans Albert Einstein, 54, son of Physicist Albert. Engineer Hans's contribution to science, more down-to-earth than his late father's famed E = mc2 formula, was "to the knowledge of transportation of sediment in flowing water...
Nobel Flavor. Last week Classroom began expanding its faculty as well as its audience. Into White's continental ivory lab came the first of seven Nobel prizewinners, Bell Telephone Physicist Walter H. Brattain, for a flawless if slightly baffling discourse on transistors. The other Nobelmen in a second semester 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...
...graduates include such top industrialists as Takeshi Mitarai, president of the Canon Camera Co.; Mitsugu Sato, head of the firm that supplies more than half of Japan's dairy products; and Hohei Sugimatsu, president of the Nissan Chemical Co. One of Hokkaido's noted scholars is Physicist Dr. Ukichiro Nakaya, a world-respected authority on snow crystals and the elasticity of ice. Since development of the rugged northern island (pop. 5,000,000) is a prime government objective, it seems certain that Hokkaido University will keep on growing...
First master of Churchill College will be Sir John Cockcroft, founder and head of Britain's atomic research center at Harwell. His qualifications are impressive: in 1932, while working at Cambridge under Lord Rutherford, he and Physicist E.T.S. Walton earned a Nobel Prize for pioneer work in splitting lithium atoms. Behind Sir Winston and Sir John in the project are many of Britain's industrial leaders, who have given most of the $8,000,000 already collected toward the $11 million the college is expected to cost. (U.S. firms have also made contributions, and Sir Winston has given...
