EACH ISSUE of the Annals of Iowa Brings to Light the Deeds, Misdeeds The Annals of Volume 67, Number 1 Iowa Winter 2008 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue DAVID L. SEIM, visiting assistant professor of history at Texas A&M University, tells the complicated story of a controversy during World War II involving agricultural organizations, watchdog groups, and economists and college administrators at Iowa State College. The controversy focused specifically on a pamphlet recommending that citizens consider substi- tuting margarine for butter as part of the war effort. But it involved much larger issues, most notably, perhaps, the role and legitimacy of policy- oriented social science research at a land-grant institution. JOANNE ABEL GOLDMAN, associate professor of history at the Uni- versity of Northern Iowa, describes the emergence of Frank Spedding as a new breed of scientist—a science manager—as he shaped the develop- ment of the Ames Laboratory at Iowa State College during and after World War II. MARK FINLAY, professor of history at Armstrong Atlantic State University, reviews two new books about meat production. Front Cover In this 1937 image, the Iowa State College Campanile presides over a bucolic landscape on the campus. But the college was anything but a peaceful place in the ensuing decade, as the two feature articles in this issue show. A college economist’s recommendation that households substitute margarine for butter as part of the war effort sparked a bitter controversy. At the same time, scientists on campus were actively in- volved in work that supported the famous Manhattan Project, which was developing the means to explode an atomic bomb.

Dean The Butter-Margarine Controversy and “Two Cultures” at Iowa State College DAVID L. SEIM DURING WORLD WAR II, economists, college administrators, and citizens of Iowa battled over the purposes of social science. One particular debate in Iowa was a frontline event in a struggle to establish safeguards allowing policy research at public col- leges and universities. In a conflict over a proposed policy to temporarily produce less butter, one side declared that econo- mists at Iowa State College (ISC) must limit themselves to ad- vocating policies directly supporting Iowa interests, while an opposing group advocated policy research to win the war (even if that policy temporarily disadvantaged state interests). Between about 1930 and 1945 an “Ames School” of econom- ics arose at ISC. At the University of Wisconsin, economists tra- ditionally advised government officials on “progressive” policy, but Wisconsin’s economists were often criticized for injecting personal values into what should be rigorous and impartial sci- ence. ISC’s economists wanted policy relevance while escaping such trouble. They avoided Wisconsin-style “collaboration” be- tween academic researchers and government policymakers and took their policy proposals directly to the public.1 I am grateful for a research grant from the State Historical Society of Iowa. 1. On the “Wisconsin Idea” (or “Wisconsin School”), see John P. Henderson, “Political Economy and the Service of the State: The University of Wisconsin,” in Breaking the Academic Mould: Economists and American Higher Learning in the Nineteenth Century, ed. William J. Barber (Middletown, CT, 1988), 318–39; and THE ANNALS OF IOWA 67 (Winter 2008). © The State Historical Society of Iowa, 2008. 1 2 THE ANNALS OF IOWA What eventually happened at ISC was that financial donors and college administrators insisted on social science devoid of policy arguments; ISC’s social scientists wanted a more realistic standard. The defining moment in the debate took place during 1943 and 1944, when a series of events resulted in a conflict over the possibilities and limitations of policy-oriented social science.2 In 1943 Iowa was second in the nation in dairy production. In April of that year, ISC’s agricultural economists published a pamphlet titled “Putting Dairying on a War Footing,” the fifth installment in the school’s Wartime Farm and Food Policy series. The dairying pamphlet analyzed conditions that had resulted in a shortage of dairy products for soldiers. The report recom- mended, among other solutions, having American households substitute more margarine for butter.3 Dairy interests vigorously objected to “Pamphlet No. 5.” Dairy industry leaders contacted the college president, applying pressure to retract the pamphlet. After the president gave in, more than half of the faculty in the Department of Economics Malcolm Rutherford, “Wisconsin Institutionalism: John R. Commons and His Students,” Labor History 47 (2006), 161–88. The “Ames School” of economics sought to connect agricultural economics to broader economic issues by em- ploying multiple research methods. See brief mentions in Leonard Silk, The Economists (New York, 1974), 208; and Richard H. Day, “Toward a Dynamical Economic Science: An Autobiographical Reflection,” in The Makers of Modern Economics, vol. 4, ed. Arnold Heertje (Cheltenham, UK, 1999), 1–31, esp. p. 3. 2. Debates about objectivity in social science predate the 1940s. See Mary O. Furner, Advocacy and Objectivity: A Crisis in the Professionalization of American Social Science, 1865–1905 (Lexington, KY, 1975); Mark Blaug, “The Formalist Revolution or What Happened to Orthodox Economics after World War II?” in From Classical Economics to the Theory of the Firm: Essays in Honour of D. P. O’Brien, ed. Roger E. Backhouse and John Creedy (Northampton, MA, 1999), 257–80; Mary S. Morgan and Malcolm Rutherford, eds., From Interwar Plural- ism to Postwar Neoclassicism (Durham, NC, 1998). An underappreciated factor in the shift toward emphasizing formal approaches in economics was a reac- tion to the question whether public colleges and universities are “research arms” of private industry—what Jim Hightower once called the “land-grant college complex.” See Jim Hightower, Hard Tomatoes, Hard Times: A Report of the Agribusiness Accountability Project on the Failure of America’s Land-grant Col- lege Complex (Cambridge, MA, 1973). 3. Dairy Record, 4/28/1943, 16; O. H. Brownlee, “Putting Dairying on a War Footing,” Wartime Farm and Food Policy Series, no. 5 (Ames, 1943). A copy of the original pamphlet is in file 8/4, Robert E.

  • Cold War Requisitions, Scientific Manpower, and the Production of American Physicists After World War II
    DAVID KAISER* Cold War requisitions, scientific manpower, and the production of American physicists after World War II 1. RAYMOND BIRGE’S “MAIN OBJECTIVE” “THE MAIN OBJECTIVE of this department of physics,” Raymond Birge wrote in late May 1955, “is to train Ph.D.’s in physics.” Birge— iconic, somber, a displaced Yankee who traced his New England ancestry nine generations back—had been chair of Berkeley’s physics department for twenty-two years; by the mid-1950s, it was the nation’s largest. At the time he explained his department’s “main objec- tive,” Birge was the retiring president of the American Physical Society (APS). Birge and his colleagues in Berkeley’s physics department had emphasized the importance of its graduate program many times before in annual budget requests to the university administration and in funding reports to private industries; it would be easy to read such remarks as thinly-veiled requests for more funding, since training physics Ph.D.s became expensive after World War II. This time, however, Birge articulated his department’s mission in a letter to a local citizen, far outside of the university bureaucracy, who had no funds to offer and who had requested no such pronouncement. 1 *Program in Science, Technology, and Society, and Department of Physics, Building E51- 185, MIT, Cambridge, MA 02139; [email protected].

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Howard Schachman, dated April 26, 2007.

He has been labeled both warm and cold, friendly and condescending, affable as well as hurtful. Learning Sanskrit and cultivating the air of an aesthete, as a young professor he stretched the bounds of the scientist’s persona. Yet in the space of a decade, the otherworldly theorist was transformed into a political insider par excellence. His fellow scientists remembered him as a visionary and capable leader at Los Alamos, while his security hearing brought to light foolish mistakes in judgment and human relationships.

  • CORT THEATER, 138-146 West 48Th Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 17, 1987; Designation List 196 LP-1328 CORT THEATER, 138-146 West 48th Street, Manhattan. Built 1912-13; architect, Thomas Lamb . Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1000, Lot 49. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Cort Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 24). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Cort Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in 1912- 13, the Cort is among the oldest surviving theaters in New York. It was designed by arc hi teet Thomas Lamb to house the productions of John Cort , one of the country's major producers and theater owners. The Cort Theater represents a special aspect of the nation's theatrical history. Beyond its historical importance, it is an exceptionally handsome theater, with a facade mode l e d on the Petit Trianon in Versailles. Its triple-story, marble-faced Corinthian colonnade is very unusual among the Broadway theater s.
