K E N N E TH F O W L E R Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 2010 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. H. GUYFORD STEVER October 24, 1916–April 9, 2010 BY T. KENNET H FOWLER FTER A DISTINGUISHED CAREER OF SERVICe in academia, govern- Ament, and industry, Guy Stever died on April 9, 2010, at his home in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He was 9. During 1965-1976, he served as president of Carnegie Tech, then Carnegie-Mellon University; director of the National Science Foundation; and science adviser to Presidents Nixon and Ford. He was a member of Section 1 of the National Academy of Sciences, elected in 197, having already been elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1965. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1991. I knew Guy best when I served with him on the Fusion Policy Advisory Committee of 1990, which played an important role in enabling Princeton finally to conduct experiments with tritium that yielded the first definitive demonstration of controlled fusion power, in 199. Guy was chair, a frequent role for him after his years in the White House. Just the year before, in 1989, he had completed a far more difficult assignment as chair of a panel overseeing booster-rocket redesign following the Challenger disaster.

  • Hugh L. Dryden's Career in Aviation and Space
    MONOGRAPHS IN AREROSPACE HISTORY #5 Hugh Dryden's Career Hugh L. Dryden's Career in Aviation and Space by Michael H. Gorn NASA History Office Code ZH NASA Headquarters Washington, DC 20546 Monographs in Aerospace History Number 5 1996 Hugh Dryden's Career Foreword This account of the life of Dr. Hugh Latimer Dryden is especially appropriate now. The NASA Hugh L. Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) was named in his honor exactly 20 years ago. This year we also celebrate 50 years of flight research here. It is fitting that people associated with the Center, with NASA as a whole, and those outside of NASA who are interested in the history of aviation and space, be reminded of Hugh Dryden’s enormous contributions. Hugh Dryden was a research scientist of the highest order, an aeronautics pioneer, the Director of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), and then the first NASA Deputy Administra- tor. Dr. Hugh Dryden’s special relationship to the Dryden Flight Research Center goes far beyond its name. Among Hugh Dryden’s first actions after becoming the NACA’s Director of Research in September 1947, was to inform Walt Williams, the director of the flight research operation here in the desert, that the NACA Muroc organization, formed the previous year, would now become a permanent facility known as the NACA Muroc Flight Test Unit. Hugh Dryden strongly supported the flight research conducted here with the early rocket-powered aircraft. He represented the NACA on the interagency Research Airplane Committee that supervised the beginnings of the critically important X-15 research at the High Speed Flight Station.

Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 @ The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc. , 1976. the solar pressure force on adjustable sun vanes to drive the average speed of these wheels toward zero. Overall autonomous operation was managed on-board by a small general purpose digital computer configured by its designer, Dr. Raymond Alonso, for very low power drain except at the occasional times needing fast computation speed. A special feature of this computer was the pre-wired, read-only memory called a core rope, a configuration of particularly high storage density requiring only one magnetic core per word of memory. A four volume report of this work was published in July, 1959, and presented to the Air Force Sponsors. However, since the Air Force was disengaging from civilian space development, endeavors to interest NASA were undertaken. Dr. H. Guyford Stever, then an MIT professor, arranged a presentation with Dr. Hugh Dryden, NASA Deputy Administrator, which took place on September 15.* On November 10, NASA sent a letter of in- tent to contract the Instrumentation Laboratory for a $50,000 study to start immediately. The stated purpose was that this study would con- c tribute to the efforts of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in conducting unmanned space missions to Mars, Venus, and the Earth's moon scheduled in Vega and Centaur missions in the next few years. A relationship be- tween MIT and JPL did not evolve. JPL's approach to these deep space missions involved close ground base control with their large antenna tracking and telemetry systems, considerably different from the on- board self sufficiency method which the MIT group advocated and could best support.

GUYFORD STEVER 1916–2010 Elected in 1965 “Outstanding contributor to the nation’s space engineering effort.” BY SHEILA E. WIDNALL H. GUYFORD STEVER, a legendary figure in the history of science and technology as well as one of the most influential developers and executors of science policy during and following World War II, died on April 9, 2010, at his home in Gaithersburg, Maryland, at the age of 93. Horton Guyford Stever was born on October 24, 1916, in Corning, New York. He received his B.S. in physics in 1938 from Colgate University on a scholarship and his Ph.D. in physics from the California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech) in 1941. He worked in cosmic rays and mechanisms with Geiger counter discharge. With the founding of the Radiation Laboratory in 1940, his thesis advisor, Dr. Victor Neher, went back to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and assigned a young instructor at Cal Tech, William Pickering, to act as his thesis advisor. One part of his thesis was on the lifetime of the meson. Stever then proceeded to the Radiation Laboratory at MIT, where he was actively involved in the development of radar. He observed that the education of physicists allowed them to effectively develop this new technology; such observations were to have a profound effect on engineering education. 383 Copyright National Academy of Sciences.

    WELCOME From the Chair, Mary Lowe Good cience and technology are key to the welfare of our global village. In 2001, we were reminded again of the importance of research to the well-being Sof people everywhere. Forensic genomics, chemical analysis, and other such pursuits—once arcane to all but specialists—became familiar to a larger audience, as news of efforts to understand tragedy reached us through newspapers, televisions, radios and the Internet. Scientific discussion, confined to Victorian-era parlors since the days of Darwinian debate, claimed a more central location on our cultural stage. As the public’s perception of and appreciation for science and technology changes, the AAAS and its membership are preparing to take on a larger leadership role on behalf of science and its applications. The new AAAS rallying cry, “Advancing science • Serving society,” reflects a desire to build more and better bridges between policymakers, scientists, educators, and the average citizen. After all, the population keeps growing while 2001 farmland disappears, and we’re living longer than ever before, demanding better shelter, education, health care, and sanitation. Improved quality of life also requires answers to fundamental mysteries—from our cosmic origins, to our REPORT social and geographic paths as we peopled the Earth. In 2001, basic and applied research delivered practical advances and esoteric knowledge alike: Molecule-sized circuits— ANNUAL so small that billions could fit on today’s computer chips—were named the year’s top scientific achievement, promising 1 computers that translate conversations on the fly, or solve climate-change riddles in a snap.
