摘要:

The American Institute of Physics has announced plans for a $500 000 Development Program calculated to improve and make better use of the Institute's facilities and its capacity to serve its members. Half of the total amount will be used to meet the expenses of renovating and moving into a newly‐purchased AIP headquarters building. An additional $200 000 will be required to defray the initial costs of an impending publications increase of some 5000 journal pages devoted to fundamental and applied research in physics. The remaining $50 000 will be used to establish a program to stimulate and coordinate efforts to encourage the study of physics in the nation's schools. A fundraising drive is in the process of being launched, and it is hoped that $350 000 of the total will be provided by industrial employers of physicists and that the remaining $150 000 will be contributed by individual members of the Institute.

摘要:

A previous speaker, my friend Pollard, has emphasized our collective aspect, and the relation of the world of physics to the universe of mankind. I have chosen a much narrower subject, for I am asking each of you to think about his individual duties and privileges. To the extent that I thus ignore societies, even the American Physical Society, and institutions, even Yale University, I am a reactionary, but I am looking into the future as well as into the past when I now proceed to the subject of my speech, not announced in advance, and urge each and every one of you, as often as you can, to “Do it yourself.”

摘要:

Let me say, right off, that I don't intend to give you a sales talk on how electronic computers will do all the observing for the experimental physicist and all the thinking for the theoretical physicist. That doesn't mean I think computers won't be of any use to us, however. They are tools, like cyclotrons and spectroscopes, which can help us carry on research but, as with any other tool, it's going to take a great deal of thought and ingenuity to realize their full potentialities. As with any of our other instruments, only those of us who take the time and trouble to learn thoroughly the computer's operations and its limitations will be able to exploit fully its potentialities.
