Bray, Chairman of the Brown Univer sity Physics Department, Provi dence, Rhode Island, served as 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 of Philosophy there in 1952. 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. K“ The Mathematic's Dept. m i By Dell Martin The “sermons” for learning and achieving are taught by example rather than “word of mouth” alone, for the instruc tors in the department are for ever embarking on some new endeavor. J : Jilt: 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 instructor for the summer ses- IIS' Kiinv his c;i; ia P; sion. 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. is*;. - :i it: frr M Eiacti 1: IBS- tap;! ’ ion J; ml sMlui; fen iter; hi mfc’i Up (Bt ait, biev Tie loiet • 'llCp:; ■ tar lit, S ).v DlJ,
