Harkins On Front Endpaper And Title Page And Again On P. 99 With A Few Associated Pencil Notes. Per Wikipedia Herbert Max Finlay Freundlich Formemrs 1880 - 194S Was A German Chemist. He Was A Department Head At The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute For Physical Chemistry And Electrochemistry Now The Fritz Haber Institute From 1919 Until 1933 When The Racial Policies Of The Nazi Party Demanded The Dismissal Of Non-Aryans From Senior Posts. In 1934 He Became A Foreign Member Of The Royal Netherlands Academy Of Arts And Sciences. Emigrating To England Freundlich Accepted A Guest Professorship At University College London. Five Years Later He Accepted A Professorship At The University Of Minnesota. William Draper Harkins 1873 - 1951 Was A U.S. Chemist Notably For His Contributions To Nuclear Chemistry. Harkins Researched The Structure Of The Atomic Nucleus And Was The First To Propose The Principle Of Nuclear Fusion Four Years Before Jean Baptiste Perrin Published His Theory In 1919-20. Harkins Graduated With A Phd From Stanford University In 1907 And Spent His Career At The University Of Chicago From 1912. Harkins Correctly Predicted The Existence Of The Neutron In 1920 As A Proton-Electron Complex And Was The First To Use The Word "Neutron" In Connection With The Atomic Nucleus. The Neutron Was Detected Experimentally By James Chadwick In 1932. In The Beginning Of The 1930S Harkins Built A Cyclotron. From Experiments With This He Concluded That The Sun Might Be Powered By Nuclear Fusion. Among Other University Of Chicago Scientists Who Made Use Of This Cyclotron Was Enrico Fermi Who Performed Neutron Diffusion Experiments. Info From Wikipedia. A Detailed Memoir Is By Robert S.

1923réf. 003175New York 1923: Harcourt Brace & Co. 1923. First American Edition . Blue Cloth. Very Good. 314 Pp. First Printing. This Is Andrade's First Book Originally Published In England In 1923 Intended As An Introduction To Atomic Structure For The "Serious Student". Andrade Was Quain Professor Of Physics At The University Of London 1928-1950 And A Highly Honored Historian Of The Physical Sciences. This Copy Signed By Robert F. Bacher And Dated In April 1925 While Bacher Was A Student. Bacher Later Followed Hans Bethe To Cornell In 1935 Where He Started Doing Experimental Work In Nuclear Physics With Bethe And Left Theoretical Work Behind. He Was Quickly Promoted To Full Professor And Director Of The Laboratory Of Nuclear Studies. Early On He Had Felt That The United States Needed To Start Doing War Work And When Lee Dubridge Head Of The Radiation Lab Working On Radar At Mit Summoned Him There In 1941 He Went. Then Late In 1942 Oppenheimer Who Had Been One Of Bacher's Instructors Earlier At Caltech Approached Bacher About A New Lab For Nuclear Weapons Work That Was Just Starting Up And The Following Spring Asked Him To Join The Manhattan Project. Bacher Declined Initially Telling Oppenheimer That What He Needed Was Engineers. Ultimately When Oppenheimer Made A Commitment To Hiring More Engineers And Made Him Head Of The Experimental Physics Division Bacher Signed On. From The Beginning Bacher Was Firmly Opposed To Making Los Alamos A Military Lab And Persuaded Oppenheimer Who Had Agreed To Take A Commission As Lieutenant Colonel And Had Already Ordered His Uniforms To Keep It Under Civilian Control At Least Until They Had Enough Fissionable Material For A Bomb. When The Project Was Reorganized In July 1944 To Speed Work On Implosion Bacher'S Experimental Physics Division Was Split And He Was Put In Charge Of The G For "Gadget" The Code Name For The Bomb Division. Bacher Personally Escorted The First Bomb To The Test Site In July Of 1945. In 1946 He Was Awarded The President'S Medal For Merit For His Work On The Manhattan Project. Bacher Returned To Cornell Hoping To Get Back To High-Energy Physics But The Bomb'S Aftermath Continued To Involve Him. He Felt Strongly That There Should Be Some Sort Of International Control Of Atomic Weapons And Worked Hard On Negotiations With The Soviet Union. He Admitted In His Oral History That This Was Perhaps Idealistic But Thought That Getting This Technology Out In The Open Might Have Avoided The Subsequent Cold War. When The Atomic Energy Commission Was Established Bacher Served As The Only Scientist Among Its Members; He Had Tried To Decline The Post But Took It On When He Learned That There Would Be No Scientist At All If He Didn'T Accept. While A Member Of The Aec He Pushed For The Development Of Nuclear Submarines And Breeder Reactors For Commercial Power. In The Meantime Lee Dubridge Now President Of Caltech Offered Him A Position As Chairman Of The Division Of Physics Mathematics And Astronomy Or As Just A Professor Whichever He Preferred. "The Decision I Came To Was A Fateful One And Probably Illustrates A Major Failing In My Makeup" Bacher Said In The Oral History. What He Saw As A Major Failing In His Makeup Was In Fact A Superb Talent For Envisioning The Future And Leading The Institute Into It. After Getting A Commitment That The Institute Would Support A Program In High-Energy Physics Both Theoretical And Experimental Bacher Arrived In 1949. One Of His First Hires In High-Energy Physics Was Robert Walker Whom He Had Known At Los Alamos And Cornell. Another Of Bacher'S Early Recruits Was Richard Feynman Who Was Reportedly Feeling "Unsettled" At Cornell; Bacher Persuaded Him To Sign On At Caltech With A Sabbatical Year In Brazil In Between. Feynman Then Settled In Pasadena In 1951 For The Rest Of His Career. Now With Feynman And Robert Christy Who Had Come In 1946 Bacher Felt He Had The Two Most Outstanding Theorists From Los Alamos. Then In 1955 He Also Hired Murray Gell-Mann. Harcourt Brace & Co. hardcover

Richter "Measuring Earth's Gravitation"; the Thirty-Third by Nobel Prize winner Willard F. Libby; the Thirtieth by Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman etc. The archive consists of records maintained by the faculty member responsible for the lectures after 1934; signatures of those attending the Faraday Dinners including the speakers G. Ross Robertson Leroy G. Leishman Arnold O. Beckman and some correspondence but no signatures of Nobel Prize winners; posters announcing the upcoming lectures most on card from 1935 on including Pauling Feynman etc some in multiple copies; some correspondence; newspaper clippings about the lectures; signed records from attendance at the Annual Faraday Dinners; some notes on the lectures by the winning students; odd tickets programs invitations.
