In 1947 he began his long tenure at the National Museum of Arts and Comrnerce, where he has contributed extensively to the history of scientific apparatus. His best known works are Les Instruments Scientifique aux XVIIe et XVIIIe Siecles (1953); Lavoisier, Théoreticien et Experimen- tateur (1955), l'Encyclopédie de la Pléiade: Histoire de la Science (editor, 1957), and Histoire Générale des Techniques (editor, 5 volumes). The 25th Dexter Award was given to Cyril Stanley Smith (b. 1903) in 1981. A native of Birmingham, England, Smith came to the United States in 1924, after completing his B.S. at the University of Birmingham, in order to study metallurgy at MIT. From 1927 - 1942 he was a research metallurgist with American Brass Company. During World War II he was a Gr Kffn which he organized. The 1979 award was given to Joseph Needham (b. 1900), the son of a London physician, who abandoned the study of medicine after graduating from Cambridge and turned to biochemistry. He studied in the laboratory of F. G. Hopkins at Cambridge and became a Fellow of Caius College upon appointment to the university faculty. Parallel with a distin- guished biochemical career, he had a curiosity about the interrelations between science, religion, and society. He has published or edited numerous works reflecting his interests. He is now best known as the author of the multivolume work Science and Civilization in China. Three parts of Volume 5, dealing with chemistry and chemical technology in China, are Mr Division Leader in charge of metallurgy at Los Alamos, where his group worked on the metallurgy of plutonium. Following the war, he became Director of the Institute for the Study of Metals at University of Chicago. He returned to MIT in 1961 as Institute Professor and became Emeritus in 1969. Smith developed an early interest in the history of metals, but found the subject very poorly developed. This caused him to inves- tigate the early works in the field and, ultimately, to bring about translation of the classical works of Biringuccio, Ercker, Reaumur, Theophilus, and other early authors. He has not only contributed to the opening of the classical literature but has also effectively applied metallurgical knowledge to the interpreta- tion of archeological and artistic problems relating to metals. John H. Wotiz (b. 1919), winner of the 1982 award, was born in Ostrava, Czechoslovakia. After studying briefly at the ph dh Czech Polytechnicum of Prague, Wotiz came to the United ll. t.

  • An Exploration of Georgius Agricola's Natural Philosophy in De Re Metallica
    Mining Metals, Mining Minds: An Exploration of Georgius Agricola’s Natural Philosophy in De re metallica (1556) By Hillary Taylor Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History January 31, 2021 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: William Caferro, Ph.D. Lauren R. Clay, Ph.D. Laura Stark, Ph.D. Elsa Filosa, Ph.D. Francesca Trivellato, Ph.D. For my parents, Jim and Lisa ii Acknowledgements I have benefitted from the generosity of many individuals in my odyssey to complete this dissertation. My sincerest thanks go to Professor William Caferro who showed me how to call up documents at the Archivio di Stato in Florence, taught me Italian paleography, read each chapter, and provided thoughtful feedback. It has been a blessing working closely with a scholar who is as great as he is at doing history. I have certainly learned by his example, watching as he spends his own time reading, translating, writing, and editing. I have attempted to emulate his productivity, and I know that I would not have finished the ultimate academic enterprise without his guidance. Professor Caferro pruned my prose without bruising my ego, too badly. I must also extend my warmest thanks to the other members of my committee, Professor Lauren Clay, Professor Laura Stark, Professor Elsa Filosa, and Professor Francesca Trivellato. I am also grateful to Professor Monique O’Connell, my undergraduate advisor at Wake Forest University. Monique was the first to introduce me to the historiographical complexities of Italian history and intellectual thought.

  • 03/Post/Final Pass
    “A Very Special Relationship” SHOT and the Smithsonian’s Museum of History and Technology ROBERT C. POST Synergism: Cooperative action of discrete agencies . such that the total effect is greater than the sum of the two or more effects taken independently. —Webster’s Third New International Dictionary Friday, 23 May 1958, a fair spring day in Cleveland. The Plain Dealer head- lined the accidental explosion of eight Nike missiles at Middletown, New Jersey, with a death toll of seven or more. Editorially it lamented “Soviet Russia’s present leadership in the field of rocketry,”and a news item quoted a man identified as “America’s chief tracer of unidentified flying objects” on the danger of withholding UFO information from the public: “Russia might claim flying saucers as a propaganda ‘secret weapon’ at any time.” There was a story on the impending demise of the three-cent stamp, and Dr. Post held various jobs at the National Museum of History and Technology/Museum of American History from 1971 to 1996. From 1974 to 1978 he was special assistant to Brooke Hindle, to whose memory he dedicates this article with gratitude for friendship and support, and, not least, for the title. Post writes: “For help with my research, thanks to Bruce Kirby and LaNina Clayton at the Smithsonian Institution Archives and Rob Harding and John Fleckner at the Archives Center, National Museum of American History, intrepid guardians of the SHOT legacy. Thanks also for guidance, support, or criticism to Ron Becker, Silvio Bedini, Barney Finn, Robert Friedel, Morrell and Barbara Heald, Ben Lawless, Miriam Levin, Art Molella, Bob Multhauf, Alex Roland, Joe Schultz, Bruce Seely, John Staudenmaier, Carlene Stephens, Jeffrey Stine, Eugene Uyeki, Robert Vogel, Jack White, Rosalind Williams, and especially to Dian Post.

  • Cyril Stanley Smith (1903–1992)
    Cyril Stanley Smith (1903–1992) Cyril Stanley Smith was born on October 4, 1903, in Birmingham, England. He received the B.Sc. de- gree in metallurgy from the University of Birmingham in 1924 and came to the United States that same year. He earned the Sc.D. degree from Massachu- setts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1926. During 1926–1927 he was a research associate at MIT. “From 1927 until 1942 he was a research metallurgist at the American Brass Company, where he received some 20 U.S. patents and contributed numerous pa- pers to technical publications. His early research was focused on electrical and thermal conductivity, and mechanical and magnetic properties of copper al- loys.” “After brief service with the War Metallurgy Com- mittee in Washington in 1943, Smith joined the Man- hattan Project in Los Alamos where he directed the preparation of the fissionable metal for the atomic bomb and other materials for nuclear experiments (1943–1946). In 1946, he received the Presidential Medal for Merit for this work.” “He joined the University of Chicago in 1946 where he became the founder and first director of the Institute for the Study of Metals, the first interdisciplinary research organization dealing with materials in the United States. It was, he said, ‘a natural outgrowth of the close association of metallurgists with chemists and physicists on the Manhattan Project.’ Smith was appointed by President Truman as one of the original nine members of the general advisory committee to the Atomic Energy Commission. He also served on the Committee on Science and Public Policy of the National Academy of Sciences, the President's Science Advisory Committee and the Smith- sonian Council.” Smith left Chicago in 1961 to become Institute Professor at MIT.

  • The Human Plutonium Injection Experiments William Moss and Roger Eckhardt
    The Human Plutonium Injection Experiments William Moss and Roger Eckhardt he human plutonium injection experiments carried out during and after the Manhattan Project have received tremendous noto- Triety in the past year or so owing to the Pulitzer-prize winning journalism of Eileen Welsome in the Albuquerque Tribune in 1993. The purpose of those experiments was to develop a diagnostic tool that could determine the uptake of plutonium in the body from the amount excreted in the urine and feces. This tool was essential for the protec- tion of workers who would produce and fashion plutonium metal for use in the early atomic bombs. The idea was to remove a worker from the job if and when it was determined that the he had received an inter- nal dose that was close to or over the limit considered safe. Although some of the results of the studies were declassified and re- ported in the scientific literature in the early fifties (and further reports appeared in the seventies), the names of the subjects were not dis- closed. Investigative reporting by Welsome uncovered the identities of five of the eighteen subjects and gave details about the circumstances and lives of three of them. The secret nature of the studies and the fact that the subjects may not have been informed about what was being done to them has generated outrage and distrust in the general pubic regarding the practices of the national laboratories. Why were such experiments done? Who allowed them to happen? The Secre- tary of Energy, Hazel O’Leary, equally disturbed, pledged an era of openness in the Department, promising to make available to the public all information that could be located that was pertinent to those and Louis Hempelmann 177 The Human Plutonium Injection Experiments similar radiation experi- in the gaseous-diffusion method, ments with humans.

    Oral history interview with Cyril Stanley Smith, 1992 March 18-April 1 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a recorded interview with Cyril Stanley Smith on March 18 and April 1, 1992. The interview took place in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was conducted by Robert F. Brown for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. The Archives of American Art has reviewed the transcript and has made corrections and emendations. This transcript has been lightly edited for readability by the Archives of American Art. The reader should bear in mind that they are reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. Interview ROBERT F. BROWN: Well, we're starting an interview on—I'm starting there with March 18, 1992, Professor Cyril Stanley Smith in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and it's Robert Brown, the interviewer. And I'd like to begin, perhaps talk somewhat along biographical lines, but I'd like to emphasize and ask you, perhaps initially, your interest in art. I know as a full-time, or as a consuming interest, it came about only in the last 20 years or so, I gather. But I believe its roots lay way back, even in your childhood. CYRIL STANLEY SMITH: Yeah. ROBERT F. BROWN: You were raised in Birmingham. You were aware of not only the technological—the industry there, but also of the products, I think, weren't you? And you also knew about Sheffield from an early age, and its long tradition.
