Institute of Technology Cambridge 39, Massachusetts of WEDNESDAY, March 23, 1955 Dr. Charles Allen Thomas, President of the Monsanto Chemical Company, will deliver the 1955 Arthur Dehon Little Memorial Lecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Tuesday, April 12. Dr. Thomas will speak on "Creativity and Science" in the eighth in this series of distinguished lecturers. Open to the public, the lecture will be delivered in the Kresge Auditorium at M.I.T. at 8:30 p.m. Dr. Thomas has achieved distinction as a chemist, as an admini- strator, and as a statesman. Dr. Thomas was a pioneer in the devel- opment of tetra-ethyl lead, now used widely in motor fuels; since 1936, first as research director, later vice-president, and now president of Monsanto, he has been responsible for the Company's technical direction and research. Born near Lexington, Kentucky, in 1900, Dr. Thomas attended Transylvania College before coming to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1920; here he received the Master of Science Degree in chemical engineering.

Dr. Thomas, together with an associate, organized in 1926 the Thomas and Hochwalt Laboratories; these were acquired ten years later by the Monsanto Chemical Company, of which Dr. Thomas then because Central Research Director. During World War II, Dr. Thomas was one of the principal scientists in the development of the atomic bomb, having charge of the final purification and metallurgy of plutonium, the 94th ele. ment. He became project director of the Clinton Laboratories at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, when the Monsanto Chemical Company contracted to operate this project. In recognition of his war-time work on atomic energy, Dr. Thomas was one of a group of scientists who received the Medal for Merit in 1946; the citation, in part, said that 'this initiative and resourcefulness and his unselfish and unswerving devotion to duty have contributed vitally to the success of the atomic bomb project." Dr, Thomas' work as one of five co-authors of the so-called Acheson-Lilienthal report on the international control of atomic energy typifies a role of outstanding public service. He has been Chairman of the Scientific Mianpower Advisory Committee of the National Security Resources Board and is now one of seven consul- tants on President Eisenhower's National Security Council. Dr. Thomas holds the Industrial Research Institute Medal for outstanding achievement in the administration of industrial research and the American Institute of Chemists' Gold Medal for work in research administration.

Little, Inc. Dr. Little was most widely known as an outstanding pioneer in the application of science to industry. He was a leader in such fields as chrome tanning, artificial silk, water-proof papers, wood-waste utilization, and other industrial chemical operations. Dr. Little was for many years active in the affairs of M.I.T, He was president of the American Chemical Society, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and the British Society of Chemical Industries. The purpose of the Arthur Dehon Little Lectures held annually at M.I.T. is to promote interest in and stimulate discussion of the social implications inherent in the development of science.

  • National ACS Leaders from the Northeastern Section Reprinted from the June 1973 NUCLEUS, by Edward R
    National ACS Leaders from the Northeastern Section Reprinted from the June 1973 NUCLEUS, by Edward R. Atkinson, the more recent period covered by the editor Our account is limited to those chemists and chemical engineers who, as members of the Section, filled important ACS offices at the national level. If time and space permitted we would enjoy telling about the contributions of many other members who have served on the many committees of the ACS Council or who have performed many special tasks for the Society. In considering section members who have been elected presidents of the ACS we want to cheat a little and start with Thomas Sterry Hunt who served the infant Society for two separate terms (1879 and 1888) in the days before there was a Northeastern Section. Hunt was born in Norwich, Connecticut in 1826, was a student of the elder Silliman at Yale, and was a chemist and mineralogist with the Geological Survey of Canada until 1872. During that time he was a founder of Laval University and taught chemistry there and at McGill University. He succeeded William Barton Rogers (the founder of M.I.T.) as professor of geology at the Institute and later resigned the position to enter consulting work. He was not only president of the ACS but also of the AAAS (1871) and was a Fellow of the Royal Society. Organic chemists remember Hunt as the first American chemist to define their science as the chemistry of compounds of carbon, and as the originator of a Type Theory (1854) that in some respects anticipated that of Williamson and Gerhardt.

Little is an international management consulting firm originally headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, and formally incorporated by that name in 1909[2] by Arthur Dehon Little, an MIT chemist who had discovered acetate. Arthur D. Little pioneered the concept of contracted professional services. The company played key roles in the development of business strategy, operations research, the word processor, the first synthetic penicillin, LexisNexis, and NASDAQ. Today the company is a multi-national management consulting firm. History The roots of the company were started in 1886 by Arthur Dehon Little, an MIT chemist, and co-worker Roger B. Griffin (Russell B. Griffin), another chemist and a graduate of the University of Vermont who had met when they both worked for Richmond Paper Company. Their new company, Little & Grifffin, was located in Boston where MIT was also located. Griffin and Little prepared a manuscript for The Chemistry of Paper-making[3] which was for many years an authoritative text in the area.

    August 16, 1945 The first nuclear Chain-reacting unit in history was established on an experimental scale at the University of Chicago Deoember 2, 1942, On that day the devastating atomic bomb that was to descend on Japan less than three years later becams a definite possibility. For one of the bombs planned for use against Japan was to oontain a new element not found in nature, one which could only be obtained in the quantity necessary by making use of the conditions prevailing inside a nu- culear chain-reacting unit operated at high power. This is element No. 94 called plutonium, which is two units higher in the periodic table than uranium, the heav- iest element previously known. Because of the difference in chemical properties of the two elements, the problem of separating plutonium from uranium was one of ~ developing a suitable chemical method of isolation. The initial objectives of Clinton Laboratories were to produce experimen- tal quantities of plutonium for use in research work essential to the development of this atomic bomb, to develop the technical information necessary to assure the successful operation of 8 large scale production plant built at Hanford, Washington for the purpose of supplying the new element in the quantities needed for bomb manu- facture and to train some of the key men needed to operate the production Plant. The objectives were aucomplished successfully in the one year which elapsed between the start of operations at Clinton Laboratories in September 1943 and the start-up of the Hanford plant. The successful solution of the innumerable complex scientific and tech- nioal problems involved in this venture was due to the combined efforts of the grea- test scientific-technical-engineering team ever to work together on a single objec- tive.

  • A Report on the International Control of Atomic Energy
    A REPORT ON THE INTERNATIONAL CONTROL OF ATOMIC ENERGY Prepared for THE SECRETARY OF STATES COMMITTEE ON ATOMIC ENERGY by a Board of Consultants: Chester I. Barnard Dr. J. R. Oppenheimer Dr. Charles A. Thomas Harry A. Winne David E. Lilienthal, Chairman Washington, D. C. March 16, 1946 DEPARTMENT OF STATE PUBLICATION 2498 REPRINT For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C. Price 20 cents FOREWORD By The Secretary of State This "Report on the International Control of Atomic Energy" is in the main the work of a Board of Consultants to the Department of State. The Board carried out its assignment under the general direction of a Committee on Atomic Energy which I set up on January 7, 1946 with Dean Acheson, Under Secretary of State, as Chairman. A letter of transmittal at the beginning of the Report embodies the comments which Mr. Achesons Committee made on the unanimous findings and recommendations of the Board of Consultants. In thus transmitting to me the detailed report of the Board, the Committee emphasizes the Boards observation that the Report is not intended as a final plan but "a place to begin, a foundation on which to build". The Committee also states that it regards the consultants work as "the most constructive analysis of the question of inter- national control we have seen and a definitely hopeful approach to a solution of the entire problem". The intensive work which this document reflects and the high qualifications of the men who were concerned with it make it a paper of unusual importance and a suitable starting point for the informed public discussion which is one of the essential factors in developing sound policy.

    A FORUM OF THE AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY • VOLUME XIII • NO. 5 • FALL 2017 The Author in Dialogue: Jimena Canales’s The Physicist and the Philosopher: Einstein, Bergson, and the Debate That Changed Our Understanding of Time by Robert P. Crease Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY ver 150 people attended the March meeting session devoted to Jimena Canales’s book, The Physicist and the Philosopher: Einstein, Bergson, and the Debate That OChanged Our Understanding of Time. It was the second of an annual series of FHP-sponsored sessions in which the author of a recent book on history of physics meets critics and commentators. The 2017 session was held on the third floor of New Orleans’ huge convention center. The atmosphere was relaxed and genial, with the papers and conversation directed, not at professional physicists or professional phi- losophers, but to those interested in the general subject of the nature of time, and assumed a modest shared knowledge of both physics and philosophy. Canales, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and four other people spoke. Canales’s book was built around a 1922 episode in which Einstein and Bergson clashed about the nature of time; she discussed both the buildup to and the aftermath of the event, in which physicists and philosophers continued to display a lack of understanding for each others’ position. “The book has been more successful than I ever imagined,” Canales began. Part of the controversy, she continued, was fueled by Jimena Canales of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign physicists’ negative attitude towards philosophy, and she cited numerous examples.
