During 1963 and 1964 the Commission on College Physics and the Advisory Council on College Chemistry sponsored a series of conferences whose purpose was the stimulation of projects to design new courses in physical science for nonscience majors. As an outgrowth of these conferences the Physical Science for Nonscience Students Project was begun in April of 1965 at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, under a grant from the National Science Foundation. The Project Director is Professor Lewis G. Bassett of the Chemistry Department of RPI. Dr. Elizabeth A. Wood of the Physical Research Department of Bell Telephone Laboratories is Associate Director and Chairman of the Advisory Board, and Professor Robert L. Sells of the Physics Department of the State University College of New York at Geneseo also serves as Associate Director. Further information on the PSNS Project, including a table of contents of the text as it presently stands, an excerpt from the text, and a list of participants, is contained in the PSNS Newsletter #1 which is available from the Project Director.
