MORSS REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT (Prepared by the Administrative Committee) To THE MEMBERS OF THE CORPORATION: In accordance with the by-laws we beg to submit to your Corporation a report of the affairs of the Institute, appending as usual, reports prepared in coiperation with other administrative officers with reference to the work of their special departments. During the illness of President Nichols the Adminis- trative Committee continued to function and following his resignation this committee has recommended from time to time that action be taken on such problems as could not well be held over until after the appointment of a new President. Changes in the Corporation. The Term Members retiring in 1922 are Elisha Lee, '92, Edward W. Rollins, '71 and Dr. Willis R. Whitney, '90. The new Term Members are Lester D. Gardner, '98, Frank W. Lovejoy, '94 and William C. Potter, '97. Losses in the Faculty. Charles R. Cross, Professor Emeritus, died suddenly on November 16, 1921. The Institute has lost in the death of Professor Cross one of that group of men who, by their untiring energy and devotion, carried Technology over the shoals on which it came near foundering in its early days. Professor Cross was in charge of the Department of Physics from 1877 until his retirement on July 1, 1917. By resignation the Faculty has lost a number of very able men whom it will be difficult at once to replace. Some go to other educational institutions, where they are to fill positions of greater responsibility, others into important positions in the industrial world, where they will enhance the reputation already established by Technology. Professor Edwin B. Wilson, Head of the Department 9 10 MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY of Physics since 1917, a member of the Administrative Committee since the resignation from that committee of Dr. W. H. Walker in March, 1920, and a member of the staff of the Mathematical Department since 1907, has gone to the School of Public Health of Harvard University. Professor Henry P. Talbot, Head of the Department of Chemistry since 1901 has resigned to accept the office of Dean of Students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Charles H. Warren, connected with the Institute since 1900, Head of the courses in General Science and Engineering, in charge of the Division of General Studies and a member of the Department of Mining, Metal- lurgy and Geology, has gone to Yale to become Dean of the Sheffield Scientific School. Professor H. O. Hofman, who has been connected with the Department of Mining and Metallurgy since 1884 has retired on account of ill health. Professor R. E. Wilson, Director of the Research Laboratory of Applied Chemistry, associated with the department since 1916, has gone into industrial work. Colonel J. B. Christian, Head of the Department of Military Science, has retired from the Army after thirty years of service. Associate Professor Walter Humphreys, Registrar of Technology since 1902, has resigned to become Secretary- Treasurer of the National Association of Wool Manu- facturers. Assistant Professor H. B. Luther has been made Head of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Assistant Professors L. W. Parsons and C. S. Venable of the Research Laboratory of Applied Chemistry have taken charge of Research Laboratories in connection with large industrial enterprises. Assistant Professor M. D. Hersey of the Physics Department has gone to the Bureau of Mines at Pittsburgh. Captain H. F. Clark, Assistant Professor of Military Science, has been transferred. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT Appointments from Without. The Department of Mining, Metallurgy and Geology has been greatly strengthened by the addition to its staff of W. Spencer Hutchinson, as Professor of Mining, in charge of the option in Mining Engineering; and C. B. Waterhouse as Professor of Metallurgy, in charge of the option in Metallurgy. Professor Albert Ferran, appointed Professor of Design

Silcox Electronic Composition: Karen Wick May 2010 U.S. Department of Commerce Gary Locke, Secretary National Institute of Standards and Technology Patrick D. Gallagher, Director FOREWORD This Supplement to Appendices is a continuation of the data collected in the appendices of NIST Special Publication 955, Responding to National Needs: The National Bureau of Standards Becomes the National Institute of Standards and Technology 1969-1993, by James F. Schooley, November 2000. It incorporates, and therefore supersedes, the previous Supplement published July 2002. This current Supplement covers the period 1993-2009. The data will be used to support the research and compilation of the fourth volume of the NBS/NIST history series. Since the publishing of the first Supplement, NIST has had several accomplishments worthy of noting. During this period, NIST had its third Nobel Prize winner in Physics. John L. (Jan) Hall of the NIST Physics Lab and the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Theodor W. Hänsch of the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics, Garching and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich, Germany, were named winners of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics, sharing the honor with Roy J. Glauber of Harvard University. Hall shares the Nobel Prize with Hänsch, “for their contributions to the development of laser-based precision spectroscopy, including the optical frequency comb technique.” In 2004, NIST made big advances in a small area by building the world’s smallest atomic clock.

  • Prohibition, American Cultural Expansion, and the New Hegemony in the 1920S: an Interpretation
    Prohibition, American Cultural Expansion, and the New Hegemony in the 1920s: An Interpretation IAN TYRRELL* In the [920s American prohibitionists, through the World League against Alcohol­ ism, sought to extend their war on liquor beyond the boundaries of the United States. Prohibitionistsfailed in their efforts due to anti-American sentiment, complex class and cultural opposition to prohibition, and negative reporting of the experi­ ment with prohibition in the U.S. Nevertheless, restrictive anti-alcohol laws were introduced in a number ofcountries. Moreover, the efforts ofAmerican prohibition­ ists furthered the larger process of American cultural expansion by emphasizing achievements of the U.S. in economic modernization and technical advancement. This episode in American cultural expansion occurred with the support of anti­ alcohol groups in foreign countries that embraced the message equating American reform with modernity. Prohibitionists abroad colluded in the process, thereby accepting a form ofAmerican cultural hegemony. En 1920, par l'intermédiaire de la World League against Alcoholism, les prohibi­ tionnistes américains se sont efforcés de pousser leur lutte contre l'alcool au-delà des frontières des États-Unis. Cependant, le sentiment anti-américain, l'opposition complexe des classes et de la culture à l'endroit de la prohibition ainsi que la mauvaise presse dont l'expérience américaine a fait l'objet ont fait échouer leurs efforts. Néanmoins, plusieurs pays ont adopté des lois restrictives contre l'alcool. Qui plus est, les efforts des prohibitionnistes américains ont favorisé l'expansion de la culture américaine en mettant en valeur les réussites des É.-u. au chapitre de la modernisation économique et de l'avancement de la technologie.

  • Tuesday, 5 December 1922 Various Resolutions; Election of ECCI; Close of Congress
    Session 32 – Tuesday, 5 December 1922 Various Resolutions; Election of ECCI; Close of Congress The Norwegian question. Resolution on the terror in Ire- land. Question of the Versailles Peace Treaty. Tactics of the Communist International. The Eastern question. Edu- cational work. France. Resolution on the Russian Revolu- tion. Election of the Executive Committee. Closing speech by Zinoviev. Speakers: Haakon Meyer, Connolly, Hoernle, Bor- diga, Clara Zetkin, Kolarov, Billings, Grün, Torp, Kolarov, Zinoviev Convened: 6:50 p.m. Chairperson: Neurath Haakon Meyer (Norway): The majority of the Nor- wegian delegation states that it is not happy with the proposed resolution. A number of its points do not reflect our views. In some cases, we believe that the Commission has handled specific matters in too abstract and schematic a fashion. This applies, for example, to the cases of Halvard Olsen and Karl Johanssen. As for the latter point, a proposal had been made by the entire delegation to formulate this differ- ently, but it was rejected by the Commission. In other cases, we believe that the resolution is insufficiently objective. That applies to the point concerning Mot Dag, which, in our opinion, is not a closed group, and also for Point 4 [of the resolution], which deserves criticism. 1094 • Session 32 – 5 December 1922 However, after thorough discussion of all the disputed questions in the Commission, we will not initiate further debate in the plenary, but, rather, state that the majority of the delegation will vote for the resolution. Chair: We will now take the vote on the resolution proposed by the Norwegian Commission.

  • A History of the National Bureau of Standards
    APPENDIX A FERDINAND RUDOLPH HASSLER First Superintendent of the Coast Survey and of Weights and Measures When Professor Stratton arrived at the Office of Weights and Measures on B Street in Washington in the spring of 1898 to survey its equipment and operations, he found there in the person of Louis A. Fischer, the adjuster, a link with Ferdinand Rudolph Hassler, the first Superintendent of Weights and Measures in the Federal Government. It was in the atmosphere of the office over which Hassler had presided, Stratton said, with its sacred traditions concerning standards, its unsurpassed instrument shop, its world-known experts in the construction and comparison of standards, and especially in the most precise measurement of length and mass, that the boy Fischer, scarcely over 16, found himself when he entered the employ of Govern- ment in a minor capacity [about the year 18801. * * Scarcely 40 years had passed since the end of Hassler's services and the beginning of Fischer's. His first instructors were the direct disciples of Hassler and he knew and talked with those who had come in personal contact with the first superintendent.1 Fischer's reminiscences concerning the early historyof the Weights and Measures office, gathered from his association with the successors of Hassler, were never recorded, to Stratton's regret, and the only biography of Hassler, by Florian Cajori, professor of mathematics at the University of California, centers on his career in the Coast Survey gathered from his association with the successors of Hassler, were never recorded, to in the history of science in the Federal Government, is the principal source of the present sketch.2 1 Stratton, "Address Memorializing Louis Albert Fischer, 1864.—1921," 15th Annual Con.

  • Water, Capitalism, and Urbanization in the Californias, 1848-1982
    TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Washington, D.C. August 14, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Hillar Yllo Schwertner All Rights Reserved ii TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: John Tutino, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This is a history of Tijuandiego—the transnational metropolis set at the intersection of the United States, Mexico, and the Pacific World. Separately, Tijuana and San Diego constitute distinct but important urban centers in their respective nation-states. Taken as a whole, Tijuandiego represents the southwestern hinge of North America. It is the continental crossroads of cultures, economies, and environments—all in a single, physical location. In other words, Tijuandiego represents a new urban frontier; a space where the abstractions of the nation-state are manifested—and tested—on the ground. In this dissertation, I adopt a transnational approach to Tijuandiego’s water history, not simply to tell “both sides” of the story, but to demonstrate that neither side can be understood in the absence of the other. I argue that the drawing of the international boundary in 1848 established an imbalanced political ecology that favored San Diego and the United States over Tijuana and Mexico. The land and water resources wrested by the United States gave it tremendous geographical and ecological advantages over its reeling southern neighbor, advantages which would be used to strengthen U.S.

  • The Ends of Four Big Inflations
    This PDF is a selection from an out-of-print volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: Inflation: Causes and Effects Volume Author/Editor: Robert E. Hall Volume Publisher: University of Chicago Press Volume ISBN: 0-226-31323-9 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/hall82-1 Publication Date: 1982 Chapter Title: The Ends of Four Big Inflations Chapter Author: Thomas J. Sargent Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c11452 Chapter pages in book: (p. 41 - 98) The Ends of Four Big Inflations Thomas J. Sargent 2.1 Introduction Since the middle 1960s, many Western economies have experienced persistent and growing rates of inflation. Some prominent economists and statesmen have become convinced that this inflation has a stubborn, self-sustaining momentum and that either it simply is not susceptible to cure by conventional measures of monetary and fiscal restraint or, in terms of the consequent widespread and sustained unemployment, the cost of eradicating inflation by monetary and fiscal measures would be prohibitively high. It is often claimed that there is an underlying rate of inflation which responds slowly, if at all, to restrictive monetary and fiscal measures.1 Evidently, this underlying rate of inflation is the rate of inflation that firms and workers have come to expect will prevail in the future. There is momentum in this process because firms and workers supposedly form their expectations by extrapolating past rates of inflation into the future. If this is true, the years from the middle 1960s to the early 1980s have left firms and workers with a legacy of high expected rates of inflation which promise to respond only slowly, if at all, to restrictive monetary and fiscal policy actions.

Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865-1922), acquired The Times newspaper in 1908. In adding the most influential and reliable voice of the British establishment and of Imperially- fostered globalisation to his growing portfolio of newspapers and magazines, Northcliffe aroused some opposition among those who feared that he would rely on his seemingly infallible ear for the popular note and lower the tone and weaken the authority of The Times. Northcliffe had long hoped to prise this trophy from the control of the Walters family, convinced of his ability to make more of the paper than they had, and from the beginning applied his singular energy and intuition to improving the fortunes of ‘The Thunderer’.
