    JON M. HUNTSMAN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS | UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY | SUMMER 2017 Jon M. Huntsman & Charles Koch provide $50 million gift, the largest in USU history BY PHOTO 2 HUNTSMAN ALUMNI MAGAZINE • SUMMER 2017 President Noelle Cockett announces the $50 million Huntsman/Koch gift at the 2017 Utah State University Commencement. Photo by Russ Dixon. 3 dean’s message Commencements are always memorable, especially for graduates and their families, but this year’s ceremony on May 6, 2017 marked an especially important milestone for USU and for the Huntsman School—the announcement of a $50 million gift from the Huntsman Foundation and the Charles Koch Foundation. This historic gift—the largest in the history of Utah State University—will be paid out over the course of ten years, and will support a four-fold expansion in our Huntsman Scholar program, six new faculty positions, and a new research center, the Center for Growth and Opportunity. Combined, these matching $25 million grants will create scholarships for nearly 500 students a year, and opportunities to travel, explore new ideas, and interact with outstanding faculty, alumni and business professionals. Ten years ago, when he made his first $25 million gift to USU’s College of Business, Jon Huntsman challenged us to produce students who can compete with the best and brightest anywhere in the world. The last decade has been a time of remarkable change, as we have sought to “get better fast”— better faculty, better facilities, and better students. Eight out of 10 of our faculty and nine out of 10 of our staff are new to the school in that period.

  • Foreword by Edwin M

    Foreword by Edwin M

    Foreword by Edwin M. McMillan I first met Martin Kamen in 1937, when he came to Ernest Lawrence's Radiation Laboratory at the University of California in Berkeley as a newly minted Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Chicago on a research fellowship. To set the stage for that event I should say something about what the laboratory was like then. It bore no resemblance to any modern research establishment. It had one building, an old wooden structure that had been scheduled for demoli- tion until Lawrence prevailed on Robert G. Sproul, then president of U.C., to save it for him. In this building worked a small group of dedi- cated people, some of them faculty, some graduate students, some visitors and fellows, under Lawrence's direction. There was no formal organization and no set program of research, and a newcomer like Martin pretty much had to find his own way. The fact that he was a chemist in a group dominated by physicists was no problem; there was plenty of chemistry to be done in the identification and purification of radioactive isotopes, and anyhow the kind of chemistry that he had. learned under William D. Harkins at Chicago had a large component of nuclear physics mixed with it. Then, too, there was Martin's friendly and cheerful personality, with its many facets and some eccentricities, such as his refusal to learn to drive a car. His stories of life in the seamier parts of Chicago added a touch of exotic interest, as did his tales of life as a graduate student with some dictatorial professors of the old school.

    Photosynthesis: Converting Radiant Energy Into Chemical Energy the Light-Independent Reactions

    Photosynthesis: Converting Radiant Energy into Chemical Energy The Light-Independent Reactions The Laws of Nature describe, predict, and explain how and why events occur in nature. The Laws of Nature serve as summaries of a large number of observations and experimental results that have taken place since the time humans began questioning. Once enounced and accepted, the Laws of Nature seem right, true, self-evident, and the basis of building higher-level systems of reason, whether scientific or political, based on the always testable assumption that the law is true. The Laws of Nature can be called Principles. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin used the Laws of Nature to justify the separation of the American colonies from England in the Declaration of Independence: “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness….” The Laws of Nature are principles but they may not always apply to every situation. In a healthy society, the application of the Laws of Nature are questioned.
