HARVARD FOUNDATION NEWSLETTER, DECEMBER 31, 1957

LIBRARY AND LABORATORY NEWS NOTES
FROM THE DEPARTMENTS AND GRADUATE SCHOOLS

BIOLOGY: Dr. Avrion Mitchison (A.B. '48 and D.Phil. '52, Oxford) of the Department of Zoology, University of Edinburgh, has been appointed Visiting Lecturer in Biology for the spring term 1957-58. Dr. Mitchison will give an advanced course in experimental embryology. Professor George Wald (B.S., New York University, '27; Ph.D., Columbia, '32) was awarded the M.D. degree (honorary) at the University of Berne, Switzerland, in June 1957. Dr. A. M. Pappenheimer, Jr. (S.B., Harvard, '29; Ph.D., '32), currently of the Department of Microbiology at the New York University College of Medicine, has been appointed Professor of Biology at Harvard from July 1, 1958. Professor E. S. Barghoorn (A.B., Miami University, '37; Ph.D., Harvard, '41), is on sabbatical leave during the fall term of 1957-58. He will visit several laboratories in Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and England in order to become acquainted with recent developments and techniques in the petrographic study of coal and its plant constituents.

CHEMISTRY: An addition to the Chemical Laboratories is being planned to relieve the overcrowded conditions which now exist. There have been no major additions to the facilities since the Mallinckrodt and Converse Laboratories were built thirty years ago, and during this time the number of graduate students and other research personnel has more than doubled. In addition, about five years ago the Department initiated a program of biochemistry and the research groups in this area (under Professors Bloch, Westheimer, and Hager) have been squeezed into inadequate, makeshift space. The new laboratory building will be situated between the southern ends of the Mallinckrodt and Converse Laboratories, and will provide space for the research groups of three professors, and for both undergraduate and graduate instruction in biochemistry. Working plans for the new laboratory are scheduled for completion by January 1, 1958, and it is hoped that construction can begin late in the spring. This will be contingent on the availability of the necessary funds of about 2.2 million dollars, which is still incomplete. In view of the present serious shortage of scientists it is encouraging that the number of undergraduates concentrating in chemistry has shown a small but steady increase during the past few years. Last year 122 Harvard and 6 Radcliffe students were concentrating in chemistry, and 65 of last year's freshmen began chemistry concentration this fall. The quality of these students is high; among the 34 seniors who graduated last June there were 3 summas, 3 magnas, and 4 cum laude. This year 41 new graduate students entered the department, bringing the total to 130. During the past year 24 Harvard and 2 Radcliffe students earned their Ph.D. degrees in the department. While on sabbatical leave last spring term, Professor Bartlett was a guest lecturer at the University of Munich. During July, he also gave the opening address at a conference of the Chemical Society in London and presented one of the main lectures at the XVIth International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry in Paris. Professor Lingane has been selected as the recipient of the 1958 Fisher Award in Analytical Chemistry administered by the American Chemical Society. Professor Woodward gave the Ciba Foundation lecture in London, and at the April meeting of the American Chemical Society he was the first recipient of the Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry. Professor Westheimer is the incumbent of the departmental Research Professorship this year, and Professor Kenneth B. Wiberg (University of Washington) is serving as Visiting Professor.

FOGG ART MUSEUM AND FINE ARTS: The greater interest being taken in the visual arts is becoming more and more happily apparent at the Fogg Art Museum. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred St. Vrain Carpenter of Medford, Oregon, (Mr. Carpenter is Harvard 1905) have just given Harvard a million and a half dollars to provide a Center for the Visual Arts. The new Visual Arts Center will make practicable the visual arts - drawing, painting, sculpture, shopwork, scenic design - a lively activity for Harvard undergraduates. The next step is to decide where the building should be located. The Fogg's purchase funds have recently been materially increased by a bequest from Professor Reginald A. Daly and his wife, Louise Haskell Daly. This gift is enormously welcome, for too often recently the Fogg has had to pass up objects that would have greatly improved teaching because of lack of funds.
