...Bevis, a Harvard law professor who had been an Ohio Supreme Court judge and finance director for two Governors. The trustees, unable to agree on Morrill or Bevis, considered more than a score of bigwig outsiders, deadlocked on some, were turned down by others (notably Chicago's famed Physicist Arthur H. Compton). Last week, after an angry hour and a half, peace, as it must to all squabbles, finally descended, and Howard Bevis was elected as Ohio State's seventh president...
George Washington Pierce, distinguished physicist, has retired after forty years' service on the Faculty, and has been named Rumford Professor of Physics and Gordon McKay Professor of Communication Engineering, emeritus, effective next September 1, the University announced today...
...high-velocity particles from the apparatus are applied by the physicist and chemist to the study of the nuclei of atoms...
After the broadcast, Master of Ceremonies Fadiman undid another sheaf of questions, some new, some missed at previous sessions. This time, Physicist Bernard Jaffe knew what kind of fathead might properly be boiled in oil (a fish called a fathead). Composer-Critic Deems Taylor remembered what musical composition a baby's cry reminded him of (Richard Strauss's Domestic Symphony). Catcher Moe Berg identified Garibaldi's Carbonari. Russel Grouse still thought the football team best suggested by an ocean was C. C. N. Y. (book answer: Tulane's Green Wave). Lillian Gish remembered her Browning better...
...Tons? Ernest Orlando Lawrence, the jovial University of California physicist who invented the cyclotron (spiral atom-smasher), recently completed a new 220-ton cyclotron, so far the world's biggest, most powerful. Last week he gave a progress report on this monster in operation. With a power input of only 50 kilowatts (more than enough to run a good-sized radio station), he and his crew have obtained beams of 16-million-volt heavy hydrogen particles and 32-million-volt helium particles. With the 32-million-volt beam, new radioactive substances throwing off electrified helium gas have been discovered...
