Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 2007 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. MIT Museum JULIUS ADAMS STRATTON May 18, 1901–June 22, 1994 BY PAUL E . GRAY AY, AS HE WAS KNOWN by nearly all who worked with him, Jserved the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Radia- tion Laboratory at MIT, the federal government, the National Academies, and the Ford Foundation during his long and productive life. His work at MIT, as a member of the faculty and subsequently as provost, chancellor, and president, was vital to the development of both research and education during periods of rapid growth and change at MIT. EARLY YEARS Stratton was born on May 18, 1901, in Seattle, Wash- ington. His father, Julius A. Stratton, was an attorney who founded a law firm well known and respected throughout the northwest; later he became a judge. His mother, Laura Adams Stratton, was an accomplished pianist. Following his father’s retirement in 1906, the family moved to Germany, where young Julius attended school through age nine and became fluent in German. In 1910 the family returned to Seattle, where he completed his public school education. Stratton came to MIT, with which he was associated for 74 years, as the result of an accident at sea and on the advice of a fellow student.

  • 29 Power, Hughes Argued That the 1950S Was a “Lost Decade” Because of Eisenhower’S
    The United States and Sputnik: a Reassessment of Dwight D. Eisenhower's Presidential Legacy By: Matthew Bologna Dwight D. Eisenhower was an extraordinary serviceman adored by his country for his accomplishments in military and civilian life. As a four-star general, Eisenhower led the United States through the European Theatre of the Second World War, having coordinated the liberation of France in 1944 and spearheaded the Western Allies’ advance into Germany in 1945. After the war, Eisenhower served as the first Supreme Allied Commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the military governor of the American occupation zone in Germany, and later as president of Columbia University. Indeed, Eisenhower’s life was nothing short of exceptional. Yet Eisenhower’s tenure as President of the United States from 1953 to 1961 failed to arouse the same fervour of admiration as generated by Eisenhower ‘the General.’ In fact, for much of his post-presidency life Eisenhower endured a barrage of criticism from academics and journalists alike. The stereotypical characterization of Eisenhower was that of a do-nothing president whose ignorance and complacency tarnished the prestige of the executive office. In his 1958 publication Eisenhower: Captive Hero, journalist Marquis Childs chastised the former president’s political inexperience. Eisenhower had “no understanding of the uses of patronage and power,” and surrounded himself with equally simplistic and unimaginative Cabinet members.1 Likewise, Emmet J. Hughes—a former speechwriter for Eisenhower—lambasted Eisenhower for his passive style of leadership. In his 1963 publication entitled Ordeal of 1 Anthony James Joes, “Eisenhower Revisionism and American Politics,” in Dwight D.

At MIT we have convened a working group on open (Open 2020, as we’ve called it), to advance the discussion points herein and the future of knowledge and open learning— inviting visionary stakeholders from throughout the university and experts and creative advocates from outside the institute, inviting in funders and underwriters and other strategic partners. The people we are inviting and assembling—from Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation; from the Internet Archive, Creative Commons, the Public Broadcasting Service, and National Public Radio; legal experts on rights, including free speech and copyright; historians of education and media; librarians, publishers, museum curators, technologists—are like a Constituent Assembly or a Continental Congress, but even more like a freely assembled Rebel Alliance, a nonprofit Sanhedrin of activists and teachers who together (with you) are leading us out of this mess as stakeholders in the future of the non-neoliberal web.1 Another new MIT-originated initiative is the Knowledge Futures Group, established in 2019 to address precisely these issues of public control over publishing and search.2 So much of what is fascinating on the web is produced by us, but somehow it is owned or being run—published, sold, licensed, rented out, agented—by others.

Eisenhower and Dr. James R. Killian, Jr., the first-ever appointed Presidential Science Advisor. Emphasis is placed on the role of Dr. Killian and the President’s Science Advisory Committee (PSAC) in advocating curricular reform in the fields of science and mathematics, a reformation which became doubly important following the successful launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik I in 1957.
