Dr. Adams and David B. Smith, director of the college student personality ( counselling ) service, discussed the program at a meeting of the Westmount High School Home and School Association. Mr. Smith, a trained psychologist who teaches at the college, described the way in which the counselling service deals with the personal problems of the students. "We try to settle these problems as quickly as possible," Mr. Smith said, "so that the student will be able to get the most out of his college studies. We go further than just settling these problems, too, because we try to fit these students into courses to which they are best adapted." Dr. Adams, who was students mental hygienist at Columbia University in New York for 15 years, said that in some cases the student will have deeply emotional problems which cannot be handled by the counselling service. "That is where I come in," he said. "We must settle these problems, because like every other college and university, Sir George Williams is building future leaders of the community."

NORRIS Principal, Sir George Williams College A LL IS quiet around the College during the summer vacation period - except, of course, for the Summer Session and preparation for the winter term for which registration will commence in six short weeks. The Summer Session, old-timers will recall, was started in 1940, as a wartime acceleration measure. It now enrolls almost as many students as there were in the Winter T erm in 1940. The present enrollment for the Summer Session in the College and Schools is about 1900 ( 1150 of whom are in the College), whereas there were only 2083 in the regular term in the College and Schools in 1939 - 40 ( 624 of them in the College). Actually the Summer Session in the College proper now is almost twice as big as the regular Winter T erm was in 1939-40. Work continues on the plans for the new College building, while at the same time leases arc being allowed to expire on the properties and efforts are going forwa rd to raise the balance of the original financial objective. The higher echelons of the Campaign are still at work, and slow but steady progress is still being reported. There is every prospect that the original schedule, commencing the building ln the spring of 1954, can be adhered to, and planning is going forward to that end. No major Faculty changes are anticipated for next year, and there will be only a few major course changes. Although the curriculum continues to evolve over the years, the basic emphasis remains the same, - general education, with a blend of the practical and the cultural which is the hallmark of a Georgian degree. As graduates may well imagine, budgeting in the College has been something of a problem this year, as a result of the decision that the Quebec institutions might not share in the federal government grants to universities. Last year's grant of $71,583 covered the operating deficit of the College and left a very small surplus. This year, in spite of most stringent economies in budgeting, a considerably greater burden than usual will be thrown upon the Metropolitan Joint Fund of the Y.M.C.A.

Simple infections, earaches, menial operations, and diseases, like syphilis and pneumonia, would possibly all end fatally, shortening the life expectancy of the population, affecting everything from family-size and marriage to retirement plans and insurance policies. So how did this “wonder drug” come into existence and who is behind the development of penicillin? The majority of the population has heard the “Eureka!” story of Alexander Fleming and his famous petri dish with the unusual mold growth, Penicillium notatum. Very few realize that there are not only different variations of the Fleming discovery but that there are also other people who were vitally important to the development of penicillin as an effective drug.

CAVE ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE NSS: 1941–2006 GEORGE CROTHERS1,P.WILLEY2, AND PATTY JO WATSON3 Abstract: Like most other branches of speleology, cave archaeology in the U.S. grew and developed significantly during the mid to late twentieth century. Originally viewed as marginal to mainstream Americanist archaeology, pursuit of prehistoric and historic archaeology underground is now widely accepted as making valuable contributions to knowledge of human past. The National Speleological Society played a central role in that development and continues to do so. We outline the establishment and growth of cave archaeology in North America, with special emphasis on relations between the NSS and archaeology performed in dark zone, deep cave interiors.

The fuel would contain the fissile material needed to support the fission process. The neutrons generated by the fission process had to be slowed by the moderator so that they could initiate addi- tional fission reactions. The heat that resulted from this process had to be removed by the coolant.

  • Preparative Scale Mass Spectrometry: a Brief History of the Calutron
    ACCOUNT AND PERSPECTIVE Preparative Scale Mass Spectrometry: A Brief History of the Calutron Alfred L. Yergey National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Bethesda, Maryland, USA A. Karl Yergey Department of History, West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia, USA Calutrons were developed in the laboratory of E. O. Lawrence at the University of California at Berkeley. They were a modification of the cyclotrons he had invented and used in his Noble Prize winning investigations of the atomic nucleus. At the time their construction was undertaken, calutrons represented the only certain means of preparing enriched uranium isotopes for the construction of a fission bomb. The effort was successful enough that every atom of the 42 kg of 235U used in the first uranium bomb had passed through at least one stage of calutron separation. At peak production, the first stage separators, a tanks, yielded an aggregate 258-g/d 235U enriched to about 10 at. % from its natural abundance level of 0.72 at. %. The second stage separators, b tanks, used the 10 at. % material as feedstock and produced a total 204-g/d 235U enriched to at least 80 at. %. The latter, weapons grade, material was used in fission bombs. Under typical operating conditions, each a tank operated at a uranium beam intensity at the collectors of approximately 20 mA and each b tank at a beam intensity of approximately 215 mA at the collectors. Bulk separation of isotopes for bomb production ceased in 1945. Since that time calutrons have been used to separate stable isotopes, but on a more limited scale than wartime weapons production.

The Independent Laboratory Access for the Blind (ILAB) project developed and evaluated a suite of talking and audible hardware/software tools to empower students with BLV to have multisensory, hands-on laboratory learning experiences. This dissertation focuses on the first year of ILAB tool testing in mainstream science laboratory classrooms, and comprises a detailed multi-case study of four students with BLV who were enrolled in high school science classes during 2007-08 alongside sighted students. Participants attended different schools; curricula included chemistry, AP chemistry, and AP physics.

  • Fact Sheet: the Challenge of Mass Production
    Fact Sheet: The Challenge of Mass Production Discovery Sir Alexander Fleming discovered the bacteria-killing properties of penicillin while conducting research at St. Mary’s Hospital in London in 1928. Upon returning to his disorganized lab from a weekend vacation, Fleming noticed that one of the Petri dishes was uncovered and a blue-green mold was growing inside. Rather than tossing the contaminated dish into the trash, he looked carefully and observed that the mold had killed bacteria growing nearby. Quite by accident Fleming had discovered penicillin, the antibiotic released by the mold of the genus Penicillium. Alexander Fleming’s original photograph of the contaminated dish. Alexander Fleming was well acquainted with the treatment of bacterial infections after spending World War I as a captain in the British Medical Corps. He witnessed firsthand the lack of medicine to treat infections, with disease causing approximately one third of military deaths during the Great War. Despite its historical significance, Fleming’s discovery of penicillin in 1928 brought little attention. The technology and funding needed to isolate and produce the antibiotic was lacking at the time. Fleming, however, continued to grow the Penicillium notatum strain in his lab for twelve years, distributing it to scientists and saving the specimen for someone willing and able to transform the “mold juice” into a medicine suitable for human use. Purification and Trials Meanwhile, Australian scientist Howard Florey hired Ernst Chain to help with his microbiology research at Oxford University. Florey and Chain were interested in Alexander Fleming’s work and in 1938, began studying the antibacterial properties of mold.

  • Manhattan Project
    MANHATTAN PROJECT Alex Wellerstein – Stevens Institute of Technology Suggested Citation: Alex Wellerstein, “Manhattan Project,” Encyclopedia of the History of Science (October 2019) doi: 10.34758/9aaa-ne35 The Manhattan Project was the Anglo-American effort to build nuclear weapons during World War II. It is commonly regarded as one of the most successful, if controversial, mega-projects of the 20th century, bringing together scientific expertise, industrial production, and military coordination to create an entirely new industry, and new form of weaponry, in an unusually compressed timescale. Within the literature of the history of science and technology, the Manhattan Project has been examined from a number of different vantage points, often centering on the role of the thousands of academic scientists in hundreds of centers who participated in the weaponization of a new scientific discovery to facilitate the mass slaughter of civilians, but also portraying the project as a prototype of future military-industrial-academic collaborations. HISTORIOGRAPHICAL BACKGROUND The Manhattan Project per se specifically refers to the overarching weapons-production program begun in late 1942, and not to earlier research and pilot programs. It is related to but not exactly the same as the Manhattan Engineer District, the division of the US Army Corps of Engineers that was in charge of implementing the development of the atomic bomb, and which maintained control over the technology until January 1947, when the civilian US Atomic Energy Commission took over all production operations. This definitional issue is not an insubstantial one. If one assigns the moniker of the Manhattan Project to the earliest investigations into nuclear fission, it results in a significantly different narrative about the purpose and origins of the weapons project, and obscures the distinct change of direction that took place in late 1942.

  • ANTHROPOLOGY Unearthing the Human Experience
    CHAPTER 7 ANTHROPOLOGY Unearthing the Human Experience Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh, Anthropology Begins, 1900–1935 Stephen E. Nash, When the Museum opened its doors to the public in 1908, anthropology had Steven R. Holen, and scarcely established itself as a distinct discipline; it was represented by formal Marc N. Levine departments in only a handful of American museums and universities. Thus it should come as little surprise that anthropology and archaeology played minor roles in the Colorado Museum of Natural History’s formative years. At the outset, the Museum’s greatest efforts were directed toward building geological and zoological collections and displays to attract visitors. Although there was no anthropology or archaeology department at the Museum until 1936, objects representing past and living cultures were always within the Museum’s walls. Much of this material was housed in the Museum’s Art Gallery (Fig. 7.1), largely supported by the Museum’s first board president, art collector John F. Campion. William S. Ward, who enjoyed the unlikely title of curator of mineralogy and art, oversaw the Art Gallery until 1914. Ward had attended Princeton, fought in the U.S. Navy during the Civil War (and was taken prisoner twice), worked as a chemist, studied metal- lurgy at Oxford, and served as the field director of the Department of Mines and Metallurgy for the 1904 World’s Fair in Saint Louis. All of these diverse experiences led to Ward’s role as one of the founding curators at the Museum. The Art Gallery featured an eclectic collection of artistic pieces from the United States and beyond, including traditional crafts (Japanese embroidery, Navajo blankets, and Indian baskets), and antiquities from Asia (Chinese and Japanese porcelains, lacquer- ware, and bronzes) and Europe (Greek sculpture, oil Figure 7.1.
