a visiting lecturer at Clark Col
lege, Monday and Tuesday,
April 5 and 6.
His visit was under the au
spices of the American Asso
ciation of Physics Teachers and
the American Institute of Phy
sics as part of a broad, nation
wide program to stimulate inter
est in physics. The program is
now in its eighth year and is
supported by the National Sci
ence Foundaion.
The American Association of
Physics Teachers is one of the
five member societies of the
American Institute of Physics.
Other member societies are:
The American Physical Society,
Optical Society of America,
Acoustical Society of America,
and the Society of Rheology.
Lectures, informal discus
sions, assistance to faculty mem
bers concerning curriculum and
research problems in physics,
and talks with students featured
Professor Bray’s visit. Profes
sor O. P. Puri, Chairman of the
Clark Physics Department, was
in charge of arrangements for
Professor Bray’s visit. Students
from Morehouse, Morris Brown,
Spelman, and Atlanta Universi
ty (all part of the Atlanta Uni
versity Center) participated in
Dr. Bray's lectures.
Dr. Philip J. Bray, professor
of physics at Brown University,
has been a member of the facul
ty since 1955 when he was ap
pointed as associate professor
in the physics department. He
became a full professor in 1958.
Professor Bray, a native of
Kansas City, Missouri, was
graduated from Brown in 1948
with the degree of Bachelor of
Science. He took his master’s
degree at Harvard University in
1949 and the degree of Doctor

Before joining the staff at
Brown, he was a member of the
faculty at Rensselaer Polytech
nic Institute as assistant profes
sor and associate professor.
In addition to his teaching,
Professor Bray directs several
research projects at Brown un
der grants from the National
Science Foundation, the Atomic
Energy Commission, and other
agencies.
Professor Bray's field of re
search is the study of properties
of solids by radio-frequency
and microwave resonance tech
niques. He is author of numer
ous scientific papers published
in “The Physical Review” and
the “Journal of Chemical Phy
sics.
He is a member of Sigma
Xi, honorary scientific society;
and a fellow of The American
Physical Society.

The “sermons” for learning
and achieving are taught by
example rather than “word of

ever embarking on some new

This summer. Dr. Dennis, the
head of the department, will be
engaged in a Summer Institute
for High School Teachers of
Science at the South Carolina
State College.
Mrs. Robinson has received a
fellowship to do further study at
the University of Wisconsin.
Mr. Hall has been called upon
to develop a workable program
designed for pre-college stu
dents at Atlanta University.
Also, at Atlanta University will
be Mrs. Harris, serving as an

Following such splendid ex
amples, some of the students in
the department have bright
prospects for enriching projects
this summer. To begin with,
Robert Marcus is presently en
gaged in a research project
dealing with Trigonometric
Functions. He will present the
results of his study at the Na
tional Institute of Science to be
held at Atlanta University
March 31-April 3rd. Lillie
Harden will be at her regular
job at the Redstone Arsenal in
Huntsville, Alabama and tak
ing a position as trainee in
Computer Programming and
Pure Mathematics. Dallas Win-
go will be at the University of
Wisconsin working primarily
under a renown mathematician.
He will, however, do a special
research project on his own. A
copy of the research will be
placed in the library at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, and a
copy will be sent to Dr. Den
nis.
