Growth The mid-years of the century were a time of rapid growth for APS and its publications. The Society’s membership grew by a factor of 10, in part due to the expansion of physics research during and after World War II. With growth came specialization and the advent of divisional groups and specialized meetings. More physicists meant more research to be published. The Physical Review grew rapidly in size, quality, and prestige. Every Voice Heard In April 1952, APS Council—on a motion of Luis Alvarez—proclaimed that henceforth every member of the Society would have the right to submit abstracts of ten-minute papers which would not be refused. This remarkable act was prompted by the review of eccentric abstracts from a psychopathic member, Bayard Peakes who had submitted a paper denying the existence of the electron. Still frustrated, Peakes stormed into the APS offices and murdered a clerical worker. Diversification and Its Challenges Diversification is a natural outcome of the evolution and growth of knowledge.
