I must confess that I have never traveled 5000 miles before to make an after‐dinner speech, and I feel warmly appreciative about your having thought of me, 5000 miles away, when you were planning this occasion. To be sure, I know that the difference between an after‐dinner speech and any other kind of speech is just a trifle less marked in these longitudes than it is around the meridian of Greenwich, where one can rely on an audience half‐seas‐over in port and brandy instead of just recovering from the martinis. I was greatly impressed, for example, once at Brown University when a very good dinner indeed was fitted in as a sort of filling in a sandwich between two thick and stodgy talks in a certain adjoining lecture room on “Sound Generated Aerodynamically” and “Shock Wave Boundary Layer Interaction”. The audience stayed awake manfully, even in the inner viscous layers, and no snores were generated, aerodynamically or otherwise.

摘要:

TheNew York Timesand Senator Humphrey have been talking about the plight of the poor scientists who find it easier to measure a quantity than to locate the results of earlier experimental work in the library. But instead of making a straightforward attack on the problems of handling the data explosion, everyone seems to be standing by for the day when that popular robot, Mr. Know‐It‐All, will roll himself into the laboratory and speak as follows:

摘要:

Almost as soon as quantum theory was developed to explain atomic structure, it was applied to problems of the scattering of electrons by atomic systems. Early efforts were devoted largely to determining whether or not the new picture of the atom was consistent with some of the results obtained in scattering experiments. For example, Faxen and Holtzmark developed their method of describing scattering in terms of phase shifts to explain the Ramsauer effect. The crudest approximations indicated that, in a general way, the wave‐mechanical picture was a satisfactory one for describing continuous, as well as discrete, spectral phenomena, and there the matter rested.

摘要:

Increased interest in the Midwest Solid‐State Conference was apparent at the ninth annual meeting held October 20–21 at the Argonne National Laboratory. One hundred and seventy scientists representing 29 institutions took part in the program, which consisted of a laboratory open house, followed by a banquet on Friday and the presentation of 23 contributed papers on Saturday. There were two invited papers: an after‐banquet address by Charles Slichter of the University of Illinois and an after‐luncheon talk by John Hulm of the Westinghouse Research Laboratory.
