History of the College of the Holy Cross Naval ROTC Unit Introduction In the 90-year history of the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) program, one of its most challenging periods came in the second half of the Vietnam War and its aftermath when several host colleges and universities terminated their NROTC programs to express opposition to the war. One bright spot for the Navy was the decision of the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, after a lengthy review, to retain its NROTC program, the only one of the six unrestricted NROTC host institutions in New England to do so.1 The Holy Cross NROTC Unit celebrates its 75th anniversary in 20162 and, to commemorate the event, this history of the Unit has been prepared by the Holy Cross O’Callahan Society.

  • Joseph Sweetman Ames 1864-1943
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XXIII SEVENTH MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF JOSEPH SWEETMAN AMES 1864-1943 BY HENRY CREW PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1944 JOSEPH SWEETMAN AMES 1864-1943 BY HENRY CREW There are times when a single act characterizes the entire life of a man. Such an occasion was the publication of his first scientific paper by Joseph S. Ames. He had just taken his bachelor's degree at Johns Hopkins University; was an assistant in the laboratory and was, at the same time, working toward a doctor's degree. On his way to those experimental results which later formed his doctor's dissertation, he had met for the first time the then recently invented concave grating. This remark- able instrument he mastered, in theory and in practice, so com- pletely that he was invited by its inventor to describe, for the leading journal of physics, its construction, adjustment and use. This he did with such accuracy, clarity and completeness that this first paper soon became and remained, on both sides of the Atlantic, the standard guide for the Rowland mounting. The outstanding features of this paper (Phil. Mag. 2j, 369, 1889) are simplicity, logical sequence, accuracy, fine perspective; and these are also the outstanding features of Ames' life. Two great English poets have taught us that the child is father to the man; a dictum which every man who has lived through two generations has verified for himself. It is there- fore well worthwhile to follow the rather meagre record of this man's ancestry in order to discover, if possible, among his fore- bears and friends—for these latter are often one's most im- portant ancestors—the origin of some of those qualities so highly cherished by men who knew him.

'Paul,' he said, 'you have such strange ideas. Why don't you write them down? I shall write a reply, we publish the whole thing and I promise you - we shall have lots of fun.' I liked the suggestion and started working. The manuscript of my part of the book was finished in 1972 and I sent it to London. There it disappeared under rather mysterious circumstances. lmre Lakatos, who loved dramatic gestures, notified Interpol and, indeed, Interpol found my manu­ script and returned it to me. I reread it and made some final changes. In February 1974, only a few weeks after I had finished my revision, I was informed of Imre's death.
