摘要:

THE varied suggestions as to subjects to be included in a physics course for engineers seem to be the result of a varied bias for different branches of engineering. In other words, the variation in suggestions is largely the result of variations in the “objective” as conceived by the several suggesters. It is doubted that any close agreement as to a course content can be reached until some degree of uniformity is attained in our concept of the “objective” of such a course.

摘要:

THIS past summer, as in the three preceding ones, the Ecole d'Ete´ de Physique The´orique has continued a program, now a tradition, uniquely its own. Thirty students, with widely assorted backgrounds but a common interest in research, spent the two‐month session attending intensive courses on modern physical theory. While half of the participants were French, the remainder represented a list of nations, including Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Yugoslavia, Norway, India, Germany, Greece, Egypt, Argentina, and Japan. This variety of students lent great color to the School. All of the students had a substantial command of French and English, the languages between which the courses were about equally divided. The School location is hardly to be neglected as a source of color. Perched on a slope of the Valley of Chamonix, it faces the Massif du Mont Blanc, an awe‐inspiring view at all times.

摘要:

A short time agoI finished a year spent as a Fulbright Professor, in a way very few Englishmen are privileged to spend their time, atbothOxford and Cambridge. This dual existence has been not only a privilege but a severe test of diplomatic skill, especially in conversation with the average alumnus of either university, who will hardly admit that the other exists. As my year was about equally divided I did have a unique, as well as leisurely, opportunity to observe both, and was led to the somewhat surprising conclusion that definite differences do exist. Along with their common features, I shall mention some of these differences—a dangerous procedure, I realize, that may well cost me some budding friendships.

摘要:

It is Engineering Week at the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in Mayagu¨ez, Puerto Rico, February 22–27, 1954. Just as in stateside colleges of the United States, there are luncheons, lectures exhibits, and trips through local factories. I am in the main auditorium where we are about to hear a lecture by the head of a Puerto Rican research institute. Everyone is in shirtsleeves or sportshirts, for the weather is typical of the tropics. Through the open doors and louvered shutters I can see the royal palms, flowering African tulip trees, and the fern‐leavedflamboya´n. The breeze cools those of us who hurried over from a class the last hour.
