PROF. E. W. DAVIS,I MISTER TACONITE I,

'IO RETIRE FROM IUt

(FOR REIEASE AT 11 A.M. FRIDAY, HAY 13)

lfinneapolis --- "Mr. Taconite"---Professor Edward H. Davis of the

University of Minnesota mines experiment station---has decided to retire from

the University June 15 after 43 years on the faculty.

Although he has a year to go before compulsor,y retirement, the man who

has played a key role in the development of many of the processes involved in

converting the tough taconite rock into useful commercial ore wants to watch

his dream of more than 35 years become a reality in Northern Minnesota,

Professor Davis will live in Silver Bay on the North Shore of Lake Superior

where Reserve Mining comp~la huge taconite processing plant---named the E. ~l.

Davis Works in his honor---is nearing completion. He is seeking a homesite high

up in the new city1s r.ocky hills from which he can look down over the massive

processing works and watch ore ships laden with taconite pellets steam out of

the harbor bound for steel mills in the East,

Born in Cambridge City, Ind., May 8, 1888, Professor Davis, "Bud" to his

many close friends, still considers himself something of a Hoosier. After earning

his bachelor of science degree at Purdue university, Lafqyette, Ind., in 1911, he

spent a year with ~lestinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company and General

Electric company and then joined the staff of the newly formed mines experiment

station at the University of Minnesota in 1912. He received an electrical

engineering degree from Purdue in 1918.

(MORE)

E. ~J. DAVIS

Named superintendent of the mines experiment station in 1919, he became

its director in 1939. He resigned the director's post in March 1952 to

concentrate more of his efforts on commercial taconite development in Minnesota

but retained his professorship.

Long ago foreseeing the day when Minnesota's high grade ore reserves would

be depleted, Professor Davis has devoted more than three decades to research on

the development of new processes and equipment needed by the mining industry for

the utilization of the abundant lower grade ores.

His work on taconite and his influence in persuading the State Legislature

to provide a tax climate favorable to low grade ores has led to the establishment

by private capital of enormous mining and ore treatment operations in Northern

Hi.nnesota.

HIGHER EDUCATIONCOST STUDY IN 11SCHooIS PlANNED


Minneapolis --- The Fund for the Advancement of Education Tuesday (May 17)

announced a grant of $150,000 for a joint study b,y 11 universities of factors

affecting the cost of various elements of American higher education in the face of

growing enrollments, inflation and demands for wider educational services.

Schools involved in the survey are the Universities of Minnesota, Illinois,

Michigan and Iowa; Indiana, Ohio State, Northwestern, Purdue and ~1ichigan State

universities (Western Conference schools); Wabash college, representing smaller,

privately financed schools; and the University of California.

The grant provides for the establishment of liThe California and Western

Conference Cost and Statistical Study". General chairman of the survey is William T.

Middlebrook, business vice president of the University of Minnesota. H. H. Davis,

University of Iowa provost, is vice chairman, and L.R. Lunden, University of

Minnesota comptroller and treasurer, is secretar,y.

Major policies of the study will be decided by an executive committee

consisting of Middlebrook, President Robert G. Sproul of California and President

Herman B. Wells of Indiana. The University of California will serve as fiscal

agent for the project, completion of which is expected to require a year or more.

Out of the study, Middlebrook said Tuesday, are expected to come data that

will furnish, for the first time, comparative figures upon which institutions of

higher education, both privately and publicly supported, can base their planning

for future operating expenses and capital funds in the three areas to be covered by

the survey. These three areas, he said, are administration, instruction and

physical plant.

COST STUDY

\I The survey will oonoentrate" II Middlebrook explained" \I on a oomparison of

like elements of total oosts in these three areas of university funotioning and

will avoid units of oomparison suoh as olook;..hour" credit-hour and per-student

costs which will not be meaningful, helpful or useful on a university-wide basis

in institutions of higher eduoation of the magnitude and oomplexity involved."

In the field of administration, the survey schools will consider factors

entering into the costs of suoh elements as general administration, student

services" staff welfare, public servioe and information and libraries.

Costs of instruotion will be compared by courses in like subject fields

such as English, mathematics" phYsics, history and so on at the junior college

level" the senior college level and at the graduate level. Among factors to be

oonsidered are oosts per unit of instruotion, instruotional loads per full-time

staff member, average class sizes, staff maturity as measured by rank, distribution

of expenditures by functions and course levels and average salaries.

Cost data will eventually be prepared for all or almost all of the teaching

departments in each of the partioipating schools, }fiddlebrook said. Once assembled,

the information will be used for making comparisons between different instructional

departments in the same institution and between different institutions for the same

departments or oombination of departments.

Physical plant oosts will be studied by elements rather than by any oomparison

of total phYsical plant expenditures. Elements to be studied include repairs,

decorating, custodial wages" utilities, room utilization, insurance and watchman

service.

When completed, the report of the survey is expected to be useful as a

fiscal "yardstick" by which to measure future operating costs of colleges and

universities, Middlebrook pointed out.

rrrrrVERSITY OF MINNESOTANEWS SERVICEMay 18, 1955

A FIXED GOAL?

by

Roland S. VaileCap and Gown Day - May 19, 1955

University of Minnesota

President Morrill, members of the Class of 1955, Ladies and Gentlemen:

M;y remarks this morning are directed to the class of 1955. I, too, am

a member of that class, having reached a commencement somewhat further along

in life I s curriculum than you who don Cap and Gown for the firs t time today.

As I glance backward and peer forward I am very humble and somewhat perplexed,

A generation that has perpetrate~ two world wars and the threat of a third,

cannot be complacently arrogant, with pride in its accomplishments. What

impresses me most this morning is not our wonderful scientific achievements,

but hoW' little of wisdom we have, and how little we really know, Of this much

only I am sure - Our goals are not fixed, - and truth seems almost to be both

coy and fickle.

At the birth of this country as a nation, some wise men proclaimed: "We

hold these truths to be self eviJ.ent," Perhaps the most obvious inference is

that not all truth is self evident 1 It is also apparent that not all which

we hold as truth is permanent or universal. Since my undergraduate days:

Newton's laws of motion have been modified or replaced; The atom has been

smashed; The sound barrier has been breeched; The range of the human voice

has become at least worldwide; The '1orse-and-bugQ" days are over and soon,

perhaps, will be the age of steam; The industrial revolution gives way to the

chemical, and the d1emical to the atomic revolution, In brief, change is,

perhaps, the most cons)icuous aspect of life,

Moreover, even self-evident truths are subject to redefinition and

_J

-2-

interpretation: IIAll men are created equal" never was intended to mean that

anyone might be equal to Bob McNamara at football;

or to Chuck Mencel at basketball;

or to Eleanor Vaill in the quiz bowl;

not to mention the unique genius of Albert Einstein in the realm of science.

In fact, to me the most interesting phase of the study of human psychology is

that of Individual Differences.

In other words, The Truth Must ~ Discovered, over and over, as a fleeting

goal and even under new definition. As Dr. Hall of Ivy College put it recently

on television: "Truth rarely comes in, bright, shiny, fresh from the mint. It

must be located, dug for, assayed, refined, and the impurities removed. 1I

In the years since I first wore the Cap and Gown, technology admittedly

has accomplished great things. Technology is the application of the findings

of science to human affairs through business management. It has given us auto:

mobiles and hard-surfaced roads on which to run them; the airplane which lays

its track as it flies; the submarine which has made Jules Verne's fantasy a

reality; radio and television which have bettered Edward Bellamy's prediction

of choice of programs at finger tip in the home. While our population has

increased 80 per cent, our consumption of primary energy has quadrupled, our

bag of gadgets available for consumption has at least doubled per capita,

college training has become almost commonplace, infant mortality is greatly

reduced; smallpox has virtually disappeared and perhaps polio soon will.

Automation - the use of machines to run machines - is now the order of

the day. The word is new - the idea is old. The human race seems always to

have been lazy, and so has looked for labor-saving devices. The quest has

reached mass fullfillment in home devices like vacuum cleaners, automatic

washers for clothes and dishes, power lawnmowers, and the like, If the capital

tied up in idle time of home appljances in this country could be released,

Indonesia could be industrialized with it,

-3-

As Clark Beise, President of the Bank of America, stated on this campus

recently, lilt is now forecast that within 25 years half of our industrial

power will be coming from atomic plants, one great advantage of which is that

A-power plants can be established in remote areas, and in areas where conventionl

fuels are not easily available." Beise went on to remind us that atomic power

already is being put to work in many countries • Britain is planning to use

it to supplement coal in meeting its rising demands for industrial pO''1er, and

is erecting a system of nuclear power stations to operate at a cost fully

competitive with coal. Switzerland, whose need for electric power doubles

every decade, is rushing research with an atomic pile, financed by industrial

concerns, assisted by the State. A similar plan is being prepared in West

Germany. Sweden is speeding its three-stage pro~ram, the first of which is

already producing power, the second to be working by 1959, the third by 1965.

Norway, too, has projects under way, and France seeks to supplement its too

scant, hydro resources. Canada has works under construction, and down in

South Africa the plan is to provide cheap A-power to the mining areas, where

water power is far distant but uranium is abunde.nt. India is now undertaking

work at a plant in Bombay with some help from the United States, and with hopes

of further help from other countries.

In short, the A-bomb is becoming domesticated as an aid to electronics

and automation, and a source of industrial power of a scope to stagger the

imagination.

This development is late in coming, and great though it is, it leaves

something very important for the human mind to do. Several years ago Clarence

Day suggested in one of his whimsical essays that mankind let laziness get the

better of it when we failed to learn the language of animals and then train

eager wolverines to operate our semi-automatic machinery. And John Muir

nearly a century ago while a student at Nisconsin not only made a bed that

-4-automatically dumped him out at the right time in the morning, but also

built a desk on which the right book popped up automatically at the time set

for study and remained up just the moments that he had decreed. But the

connection between the book and Muir's brain remained a human one which no

machine so far has bridged.

Science, wonderful though it is is not self operating. Science involves

the logical interpretation of observations. Both observation and logic are

essential to its usefullness. You may have heard of the anatomy professor who

had to be put away in an institution, but who retained his yen for research.

He found some fleas in his room, caught several one at a time, placed each on

his arm and said "Jump I" Each time the flea jumped as bid. Then the professor

snipped off the legs of several fleas, none of which afterwards jumped on

command. An attendent asked the professor for his interpretation and was told,

"this is a great anatomical discovery: Snipping off their legs makes them

deaf 1"

Even when observation is keen and logic is sound, the findings of science

must be used with discretion. If I were a University President - which God

and the Regents forbid - I believe I should require all the faculty to read

once a year Anthony Standen's "Science is a Sacred Cow," or perhaps I'd

compromise every other year for Herbert Heaton's "Cleo's Overalls," - lest

science become both for faculty and for too many students verily a Sacred Cow.

The search for truth through science may be an end or goal in itself.

Certainly many individuals have found in science an exciting and satisfying

way of life. When their discoveries of truth open the door - as did Einstein1 ,

to a new world of practical events including television and atomic power,

the world is greatly in their debt. Professors Hayes and Stakman who have

preceeded me on Cap and Gown Day programs have greatly enriched the agricultural

heritage of Minnesota through their scientific studies. In countless other

cases there has resulted much more than science-for-science-sake. In all such

-5-

cases there has been avoidance of the stigma of those great words of Paul:

--"Faith without works is barren." "Jhen the truths of science are worked into

the affairs of men, then life truly is enriched.

But I recall watching in 1918 a ship being coaled at Nagasaki, with a

human chain engaged in tossing small baskets up a rope ladder the heighth of

the ship's side; and then I contrast that picture with the use of energy in

the form of concentrated fury at Nagasaki 27 years later. Each case entailed

great waste of human resources. Discovery of how energy~ be used is one

thing; decision of' how it shall be used obviously is another and more important

one.

Perhaps the most crucial sense in which neither science nor technology is

enough lies in our failure to discover how to live together as human beings.

Warnings like Lothrop Stoddard's a generation ago concerning the Yellow Peril

help but little. I don't know how long a democracy tempered with state

socialism, (like ours), can live in the same world ~nth totalitarian communism

(like Russia's), but I am convinced that Lincoln's doctrine that no nation can

long exist half slave and half free is rapidly coming to apply to the world.

Science as used in transportation, communication, and destruction have forced

either a welding or an amalgamation upon us. Anthony Eden has put it better

than I can: "'I;1e know that we are destined, in our land and in our generation"

to live in a period of emergency of which none can see the end. If throughout

the testing time, however long or short it be, we hold fast to our faith, cradlE

it in stone, and set steel to defend it, we can yet hand on our inheritance

of freedom intact to the generations that are to come. 1t To which John Steinbeck

adds: "If only people would give the thought, the care, the judgment to

international affairs, to politics, even to their jobs, that they lavish on

what to wear to a masquerade, the world would run in greased grQoves."

How can we go about solving world disharmonies? Probably through the

homely device that is so commonplace in University life. Yes, I mean by

-6-

committees - more committees filling more hours with yak-a-t-yak, at the local,

national, and international level. At least I have nothing better to offer,

and lIve served my time on committees at each level, some of which seemed

completely futile. Parenthetically, when you become fatigued with busyness,

be prompt at committee meetings, and you'll have time to relax and rest.

Someone has said that a camel looks just like something put together by a

committee. But for all their fantastic ugliness of both appearance and

temperment (and lIve had a bit of experience with them), camels have served

very useful purposes and served them well. Seriously, ltd prefer to take a

chance on a camel put together by a committee, to one put together either by

a self-centered dictator or by a public opinion poll.

Committee discussion is admittedly tedious, may become unduly acrimonious,

often must tackle problems only piecemeal, perhaps involves too much of tempora!

compromise, but when undertaken by men of goodwill it holds hope for harmony

more lasting than that brought by an exploded H-bomb.

~'Jhatever today's answer to our basic problem, nothing else is so certain

as that it will be found wanting a few years hence. Life is a continuum,

the pattern of human relations is a kaleidoscope, and nothing has ever been

devised by the wit of man which cannot b y the wit of man be set aside.

Permanent standing committees apparently are essential and you will take part

in, or at least influence, their discussions. The challenge to this class of

1955, then, as you enter the long curriculum of life's university is suggested

by the mottoes on the gates of the undergraduate college Which I attended:

"Let only the eager, reverent and thoughtful enter here."

and

"They only are loyal to this college who, departing, bear their addedriches in trust for mankind."

Let me close with this corollary of what I have been trying to say: Therewill al\'lays be an unknown, - some cause back of the present ultimate realities,a force which some are content to call Cosmos while other call it God, - but bywhatever name, "Something lost beyond the ranges; lost, and calling to you, GO!

UNIVERSITY BOOSTSTUITION CHARGES


Minneapolis --_ Increases in non-resident tuition rates in all colleges

and divisions of the University of !linnesota and boosts in resident tuition

charges in most colleges and divisions will become effective fall quarter 1955,

President J. L. !fortill announced Monday (Hay 23).

The tuition advances are expected to increase the Universityrs tuition

income by approximate],y $300,000 annually or by about 10 per cent, President

Morrill explained, and are in line with revisions discussed with State Legislative

committees in the 1955 session.

Minimum resident tuition, now :lP41 per quarter, will be upped $5 to $46.

The present non-resident minimum quarterly rate of $110 will be jumped to $135,

a t15 increaseo Highest resident tuition will be the $100 quarter~ fee for

dentistry (now $86) and medicine (now ',:88). Dentistry and medicine will also top

the non-resident tuition scale 1nth a quarter],y figure of $210 representing

increases from $175 and $185 respectively.

In one University division, the college of education, resident tuition

"'lill be reduced $1 per quarter from fJ47 to ~46 to match the majority of the

undergraduate schools. Nursing is an exception to the non-resident minimum.

The quarterlY tuition schedule showing present and new rates is as

follows:

HISCONSIN PIf:SICSPROFESSOR TO LECTUREAT 'UI WEDNESDAY

(FOR niMEDIATE RYEASE)

Robert G. Sachs, University of Wisconsin physics professor, will deliver the

University of Minnesota's Henry A. and Winifred B. Erikson lecture at 5 p. m.

Wednesday (May 22l in Room 131 Physics building.

The title of the lecture will be "The Classification of Fundamental Particles".

Professor Sachs will point out that a few years ago physicists believed electron,

proton and neutron were fundamental building stones of the universe, whereas,

today there is less certainty. Many new particles called mesons have been found

in the cosmic radiation and are now produced by atom smashing machines.

The Erikson lectureship was en~ovred by Professor Henry A. Erikson who for

many years was chairman of the University's physics department.

Professor Sachs has contributed to the theory of elementary particles and

before joining the Wisconsin staff was director of the theoretical physics division

of the Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago.

G3EA'IER UNIVERSITY FUND OPENS'55 CA1-WAIGN} $230,000 GOAL SET

(FOR UlMEDIATE RELEASE)

Minneapolis - __ The Greater University Fund of the University of Minnesota

opened its 195, campaign this week with a new high goal of $230,000. This marks

the eighth annual campaign of the fund.

Edgar F. Zelle, chairman of the board, First National Bank of Minneapolis,

will serve as 19" national chairman for the campaign which will end December 31.

The campaign was launched this week with a mailing of the annual report to

alumni and friends of the University• The annual report includes information on

the fund's program and a review of last year t s income and e::~endi tures • In 1954,

gifts to the fund reached an all time high of $229,814, from 4,592 contributors.

John K. Fesler, St. Paul chairman of the fund's board of trustees, reported

that gifts to the University through the fund passed the million dollar mark last

year.

Since the fUnd was established seven years ago, 281 freshmen have been able

to enroll at the University through Minnesota Alumni association scholarships made

possible b.1 gifts to the fund, Fesler reported. During this same period, 22

advanced-study fellowships have been made possible in 12 different areas of

graduate work at the University, he added. In addition, 5, research and equipment

projects have received allocations amounting to more than $44,000 from unrestricted

gifts. An annual survey of University-wide needs selects specific projects for

this kind of support.

In addition to these unrestricted gifts, there are 132 different special

projects which have received help from individuals and organizations through the

fund. An individual or organization may direct and identif.y the purpose of a gift

by earmarking it for a special project.

The Greater University Fund is sponsored by the Hinnesota Alumni association

and is directed b.1 Robert p. Provost.

SUMMER STUDENTS AT 'U' TO STUDYFOREIGN TONGUES IN 'LANGUAGE HOUSES t


Minneapolis --- French, Spanish and German will be spoken

exclusively in three "languages houses" at the University of Minnesota during

the first summer session term from June 13 to JulY 16.

Students live in language houses during the five-week period, speaking

only in the tongue they are studying to gain fluency in conversation and

practical information about the culture from which the language stems.

Programs of the languages houses---part of the University's Modern

Language Institute program---will include practical oral dri]~ sections and

conversation classes, lectures, films, Slides, round table discussions,

singing and dancing. Activities in each house l~ll be conducted in one of

the foreign languages and w ill be directed at perfecting knowledge of the

language as well as understanding the culture of the country in which it is

spoken.

Sorority houses on the Minneapolis campus are being used this year for

language house accommodations.

The language houses, which were incorporated into the Modern Lan8uage

Institute at the University in 1950, have proved particularly popular with

students planning to study abroad, teachers wanting to increase their understanding

of foreign languages and with business and professional men who find the study

of foreign languages both pleasurable and profitable relaxation, according to

E. \-1. Ziebarth, dean of the summer session~

LANGUAGE HOUSES

The language program carries a maximum of 10 quarter credits per term

for undergraduate students and nine quarter credits for graduate students.

Visits from foreign graduate students at the University are welcomed

at the houses where they contribute to the program with general conversation

and news about their home countries.

The institute this year is expanding its program to include new courses

in Frenoh, German and Spanish for Travel. Classes will be conducted from

7 to 9 p.m. 140ndays and Wednesdays at the various language houses. Included

in these courses will be films, lectures and round t able discussions which

will increase general understanding of the languages.

UNIVERSITY EXPEDITION TO SEARCHFOR REMAINS OF ANCIENT INDIANS

(FOR RELEASE THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 19,5)

Minneapolis --- Lloyd A. Wilford, University of Minnesota

anthropology professor, and five University students will leave Monday (June 13)

on the anthropologist's annual search for cultural and skeletal remains of

ancient farming and hunting Indians of Minnesota.

The expedition will begin its digging operations on the Ralph Bryan

farm on the south bank of the Cannon river near Red Wing where last year the

University anthropology party found several small house pits. The diggers plan

to look for more of the pits which were part of a village of farming Indians

believed to have dwelled there within the last 1000 years--known as the last

pre-historic period,

Students in the group this year are: James Johnson, CrOSby; Donald L.

Boese, Forest Lake; Allen E, Anderson, 1912 Clinton avenue, South, Minneapolis;

David W, Berkey, Hopkins; and Edward M, Mayo, rtochester. Mayo's brother,

Charles, was a member of Wilford's 1954 expedition, All are either senior

college or graduate students,

On the Bryan farm last summer, the anthropologist and his students found

pits of three houses each of which l.o1aS about eight feet ldde and had a fireplace

in the middle. One of the houses, Wilford reported, had burned, and the

remainder of a charred grass-thatched rocf was on the floor as well as some of

the charred beams. Of special interest in it were the charred remains of two

human trophy skulls. One of the skulls had been scalped. Both apparently had

been resting on some object in the corner of the structure.

From their first site, the six men will go to Lake City where they will

dig in mounds on the farm of Harry Bostrom near the Jewel nursery. Wilford

believes that the mounds may be very old and fears there may not be anything

of interest left.

They will go next to the Anton Nelson farm northwest of Slayton to work

in the largest village of what Wilford calls the "Oasis People". The

anthropology team plans to explore for the Oasis People's burial grounds.

In August, Wilford expects to be on the Beliveau farm three miles north

of Henderson. He reports that hunting Indians lived near Henderson as well

as near Lake City and Mora.

Tentatively scheduled also is digging at a village site on Fish lake

ILINAC " WORLD'S MOST POWERFULSTRAIGHT-LINE ATOM SMASHER,NEARS CONPLETION AT MINNESOTA fU'

(FOR RELEASE 7 P.M. CST TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1955)

Minneapolis --_ The World IS most powerful straight-line "atom amasherll ,

which will open a whole new field of nuclear exploration to atomic scientists, is

nearing completion at the Universit;r of Minnesota.

Design and construction of the proton linear accelerator, technical name

for the machine, have been underway si~ce 1949 under an Atomic Energy Commission

contract totaling more than $1,800,000.

Scientists now are able to use the big "linac", as it has been nicknamed by

its designers, at energy levels of 10 and 40 million electron volts, its first

two energy stages, according to John H. Williams, University physics professor

who heads up the project. Before the end of the year, he predicts, all three

stages of the linac will be completed allowing operation of the device at the

maximum energy for which it was designed-.-68 million electron volta.

"The University of Minnesota proton linear accelerator provides a unique

tool with which to investigate the nuclei of atoms," Professor Williams stated.

"The energ;r region now opened up, 40 and 68 million electron volts, is relatively

unexplored since no other machines now exist in this energy region. ()fu,ch higher

and much lower energies are now in use).

"We can anticipate that experiments which will be done at Minnesota will

contribute much to the understanding of the cohesive forces between the particles

within a nucleus and so help to solve the fundamental problem of understanding

the nature of matter."

(MORE)

MINNESOTA ATOM SMASHER - 2 -

The new research device, housed in a specially-engineered one-story

building on a rock ledge of the Mississippi river bank in Minneapolis (just east

of the Tenth avenue bridge), accelerates hydrogen positive ions---atoms of

hydrogen stripped of their electrons-- to very high speeds, Professor Williams

explained. Researchers use these speeding ions to disintegrate and interact with

the nuclei (cores) of other atoms, he added, in an attempt to determine what holds

those nuclei together.

Generally resembling a huge cannon with a water-cooled barrel 100 feet long

and about four feet diameter enclosed in heavy steel vacuum tanks, the linac will

blast its ion bullets into a target of nuclei at a speed of about 60,000 miles-per

second---one third the velocit,y of light.

Ions are fed into the "loading" end of the machine by an initial t1gun"

1.J'hich gives them a starting energy boost of 500,000 electron volts. A half-million

volt atom smasher in its CM1 right, this starting gun draws its power from an

electrical transformer.

An ion, an atom from which the electrons have been removed, has a net

positive electrical charge, Professor Williams explained. It is this positive

electrical charge of the ion which makes it possible to apply force to the

particle by' means of an electrical field thus speeding up the rate at which the

ion travels.

After being shot into the barrel of the linac by the starter gun, the ions,

traveling in a line of copper sleeves suspended in the center of the barrel, pass

through a series of three resonant cavities or chambers--- the first 20 feet in

length and the second and third each 40 feet long. These chambers make up the

main body of the linac and are about four feet in diameter.

As they pass through these cavities or chambers, the ion missiles or bullets

pick up about 750,000 electron volts of electrical energy per foot of travel,

continuallY gaining in speed as their energy is increased.

(MORE)

MINNESCJrA ATOM SMASHER

Hig~frequencY' resnatron amplifiers furnish the .power which energize the

ions on their lightning-like trip through the linac (.0000006 or 1/1,,84,000 of

a second at an average overall speed of 30,000 miles-per-second). These amplifiers,

which actually are giant electronio vaouum tubes similar to radio tUbes, are l,i

feet high and four feet in diameter. Eaoh tube has a plate voltage of 7,,000 volts

and a filament current of 8,000 amperes.

Kicked from a virtual standstill to a speed of some 60,000 miles-per-second

in the relatively short travel of 100 feet through the linac, the ion bullets are

shot from the muzzle of the maohine at targets composed of the atoms which the

scientists wish to stuqy.

Target atoms are held captive in a vacuum container placed in front of the

linao's muzzle. The speed of the ion missiles cracks open the nuclei of the

targets with a disintegrating effect allowing the soientists to learn more about

the inner secrets of atoms.

Using intricate instruments, pl\Y'sicists measure the results of the high

speed bombardment by observing the paths traced b,y shattered target nuclei and

by the ion bullets as they bounce off target nuclei which they fail to smash.

Data collected by scientists using the linac is computed and ana~zed in a

two-stor,y associated laborator,y building erected on a river ledge just below the

bUilding which houses the machine.

(NOTE: To reach the LINAC building, drive on University Ave., S.E., to

Sixth Ave., S.E., then south on Sixth Ave., S.E., to the road paralleling

the Mississippi river, then east, under the Tenth Ave. bridge to the

associated laboratory- buillding. The road makes a sharp left turn just

beyond the laboratory building and ends at the LINAe building)~

U OF M PROFESSORWILL TOUR WORLDON BOOK SEARCH


A University professor has planned an around-the-world treasure hunt for

children's books. The search will extend to such far away countries as Java,

India, Lebanon, Turkey and Greece.

The search will be the main effort of a year's sabbatical leave for

Professor Dora V. Smith of the University's college of education. She and her

sister, Jean B. Smith, will leave Tuesday for the Hawaiian Islands where the

professor will teach during the first six-week summer term at the Universit,y

of Hawaii in Honolulu.

They plan to leave September 1 for the Orient and the Near East where they

will visit all of the major countries in search of children IS books about life

in those countries today. Professor Smith will be looking for books Which, if

translated into English, would be useful to American children.

"We know the fairy tales and beast fables of these lands," the education

professor explained, "but have few stories of how the children live and feel

and think today. We do not want our boys and girls to have the notion, for

example, that the ohildren of India still help to kill giants or go out on errands

of magic in company with the genii" 0

The two Minneapolis sisters will have reunions with former Minnesota

students now in Tokyo, Manila, Bangkok, Delhi, Calcutta, Cairo and Lahore. They

plan to spend Christmas in Bethlehem.

Levin and McGraw, piano duettists J will present the University of

Minnesota's Summer Session entertainment at 8 p.m. Tuesday (June 28) in Northrop

Memorial auditorium.

The duettists, Monroe Levin and Cameron McGraw, will present a concert of

music for four hands at one piano, The team is the only one of its kind appearing

regularly and professionally.

They began playing together for their own amusement when they were on the

music staff at Cornell university in Ithaca, N. Y. To provide such amusement

they turned to the wealth of neglected material in the literature for four hands

at one piano, rather than the limited repertoire for two pianos.

Levin and McGraw recognized the possibilities of unique concert fare in the

music and offered a first recital at Cornell. It was an immediate success. In

1952 they premiered the "Sonata for P~ano Four-Hands"J written for them by Robert

Palmer, and launched a concert career.

McGraw is a graduate of Hiddlebury college, has taught at Middlebury, at

Potsdam State Teachers college and at Cornell. He has been a soloist on tour

with the Vermont State Symphony and the Potsdam State Symphony and was composer,

accompanist and music director for the Halprin-Lathrop Dance Theater in San Francisco

Levin studied at the Philadelphia Conservatory,Cornell and in France and

Italy on a Fulbright scholarship. He has taught at Cornell, and his compositions

include "Concertino for Piano and Strings" and "First Piano Sonata".

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTAJULY 11, 1955

MARCH OF DTIffiSGRANT TO FURTHERlU' POLIO STUDY


Minneapolis ___ A search for a ~ to remove the dependence of polio

vaccine production on monkeys from India will be continued at the University of

Minnesota under a $74,774 grant from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.

The grant was announced jointly Monday (July ll) by J. L. Morrill, presiclent

of the University, and Basil OtConnor, president of the National Foundation. It

provides supplementar,y funds for the third year of a three-year grant. The work is

under the direction of Dr. Jerome T. Syverton, professor of bacteriology and

irmnunology.

For a number of years, scientists at the University have studied the use of a

strain of human cancer cells in polio research. The cells were extensively used tn

tests performed by laboratories throughout the countr,y in the evaluation of the

Salk polio vaccine.

However, cancer cells cannot be used to grow the virus used in the produotion

of polio vaccine. This virus is now grown on cells obtained from monkey kidneys,

and the procedure is dependent on the importing of tens of thousands of monkeys

each year from India.

The importation of monkeys is extremely expensive and is an undesirable

complication in the production of the vaccine. If a strain of normal cells could

be discovered which would multiply year after year in laboratory test tubes or other

vessels, and these cells prove to be susceptible to polio virus, scientists would

have a new and important shortcut to vaccine production. Such cells might be

expected to be of nearly equal importance for use in testing and investigational

procedures.

Dr. Syverton and the team of scientists working with him will also continuestudies on the diagnosis of nonparalytio polio~elitis and on new and unclassifiedviruses which have recently been discovered. " .

"Members of the research team include Drs. ~Jilliam F.' Scherer and John orH.Tobin, assistant professors of bacteriology and immunology, and Drs. George Gifford,K. Theodor Brunner, William l-furphy and Mauricio Martins da Silva, instructors,

Holt, using his guitar and calling on folk material, lieder and art songs.

creates a program with unusual charm and a different kind of appeal. He first

became interested in traditional music and guitar while attending school at

Exeter, New Hampshire. That interest led to three years' study with Richard

Dyer-Bennet at his school for American minstrelsy at Aspen, Colorado, where

young Holt also studied guitar lv.l th Rey de 1a Torre.

In addition to studying American music, Holt traveled in 1950 through

Scandinavia, England, France, Switzerland and Italy, collecting folk material

and songs ,mich have been included in his programs.

The 30 months which Holt served in the United States Air Force afforded

him more opportunity to collect material. And his final stage of preparation

was a series of night club appearances which included Crystal Palace in St. Louis

and the Village Vanguard in New York.

The guitarist-tenor has also been featured on television programs and
