...Nobel Prizewinning Chemist Harold C. Urey, a D.Sc.; to Sociologist Robert M. Maclver, an L.H.D.; to Political Scientist Charles E. Merriam, a Litt.D.; to Psychologist Edward C. Tolman, a D.Sc.; to Nobel Prizewinning Physicist Percy W. Bridgman, a D.Sc.; to Astronomer Henry Norris Russell, a D.Sc.; to Philosopher John Dewey, a Litt.D.-all from Yale University...
Professor Cornelius Jan Bakker, eminent Dutch nuclear physicist who was invited to Argentina to look over Juan Perón's atomic energy research, last week wound up his brief and mystery-cloaked visit (TIME, June 4). After spending four days at the Huemul Island laboratories, he flew back to Buenos Aires for a little chat with President Perón, then hurried home. Back in Amsterdam, the professor said that Perón's atomic expert, Austrian-born Dr. Ronald Richter, was not under arrest when he was there, but refused to discuss Richter's research...
...simulate these peculiar conditions, California scientists use a peculiar apparatus: a "molecular beam" developed by Physicist Franklin C. Hurlbut. First, all possible air is pumped from the stainless steel tube (which takes a week of pumping). At one end of the tube is a small "source chamber" containing nitrogen gas. When this is heated by a furnace, the nitrogen molecules pick up kinetic energy and zigzag through the chamber at great speed. Those that happen to be shooting in the right direction pass through a hole one-fiftieth of an inch in diameter that leads to the evacuated tube...
Under the presidency of Theologian Timothy Dwight, Chemist Benjamin Silliman, father of scientific teaching in the U.S , set up his pioneer laboratory, out of which grew the autonomous Sheffield Scientific School. Gradually, Yale began to accumulate some of its brightest ornaments. There were Physicist Josiah Willard Gibbs, who formulated the laws that form the basis for modern thermodynamics, Elias Loomis, who helped devise the modern weather map, Geologist James Dwight Dana, Sociologist William Graham Sumner...
...Richter made no public appearance. Instead, Juan Perón issued a decree placing the entire Huemul Island atomic energy program under his own direction. On top of that, Professor Cornelius Jan Bakker, a leading Dutch nuclear physicist, arrived at Huemul Island under a dense cloak of secrecy. He was apparently brought in as a result of recent talks between Perón and The Netherlands' good-will ambassador, Prince Bernhard...
