Gilmore Directs TestsIn trying to discover the factors

influencing achievement, both inand out of school hours, Dr. C. J.Gilmoe, psychiatrLst in charge ofgiving the tests, feels.that familyrelationships are most imnportant.It is 'hoped that this experimentwill help determine the true im-port'Jance of these family relation-ships.

The tests will be graded and usedimpartially as a whole by the Ad-missions and the Dean's offices.However the individual results willbe confidential and private. Theseindirvidual results will be availablefor the use of any Institute officialwith, ad only with, the permissionof the stludent involved.

Dr. Farnwt, th, head of theMedical Department hopes to make'he tests a permnanent part of fresh-man orientation. They will how-ever be moewled as seems necessaryfrom the results of this year's tests.

Admissions Uses MaferialThe Dean's office, AdmisSions

offices and the Medical Depart-ments of both Wellesley and Tech-nology are cooperating on this ex-periment. O.ne Admissions Officehopes to {be ;ided, by these tests,in the selection of future students.

Professor Walter G. Whitmanhas been appointed by PresidentTruman to head the Departmentof Defense's Research and Develop-ment Board. Professor Whitmanhas taken a one-year's leave ofabsence as head of the chemicalengineering department at the In-stitute.

Professor Whitman is a chemicalengineer with a wide variety of ex-perience as teacher, industrial de-velopment engineer, and govern-ment scientist. After receiving hisB.S. and M.S. degrees from M.I.T.,he became an assistant professorand was assigned to diregt the In-stitute's newly established schoolof chemical engineering practice,first at the Bangor, Maine, fieldstation and then at Boston.

Functions of the BoardThe Research and Development

Board was estoablished to solve thelong-standing problem of coordi-nating the research and develop-ment activities of the various mil-itary departments. One exampleof the board's recent actions is theestablishment -of a policy for eachof the armed services which re-quires them to devote a fixed per-;entage of their total research anddevelopment funds for basic re-search. In round figures thisamounts to approximately $30 mil-tion for the current year for allthree services.Prof. Whitman is a member of

Doc6tor John Chipman

The Francis J. Clamer Medal hasbeen awarded to Dr. John Chip-man, head of the Department ofMetallurgy, by the Franklin In-stitute.

Dr. Chipman will receive themedal formrally on October 17 atspecial Medal Day ceremonies inthe Franklixl Institute's FranklinHall, where thirteen other awardswill be made.

The Clamer Medal, established in1943, is given at least once in fiveyears for meritorious achievementin the field of metallurgy. Thechoice of Dr. Chipman as recipientwas a unanimous one. His leader-ship in the field is recognizedthroughout the metallurgical world,it was stated ;by Dr. Henry -B. Allen,executive vice-president and secre-tary. He has been ranked as "thefather of modern metallurgicalthermodyxlamics" and as "certainlywithin the top group of threemetallurgists in this country," Dr.Allen went on to say.

Dr. Allen also painted out thatin the opinion of the awards com-mittee, the greatest advances inthe study of the physical chemistryof steeimaking have been madeduring the past 25 years, and thegreat majority of the valuable con-tributions to the physical chemis-try of steelmaking reactions sincethen have been made by Dr. Chip-man himself or by students trainedby him.

THAT FOUR-DAY WEEKEND AGAINAs we have mentioned before in this column Thanksgiving

Day at present is similar to Lincoln's or Washington's Birthday,just a twenty-four-hour break in a busy week. While manystudents are able to miss their classes on Friday and Saturdaywithout ill effect, others with laboratories which cannot bemade up, and classes that must be attended, are forced toremain in Boston.

If the Friday and Saturday of the four-day weekend mustbe accounted for, the answer may lie along the following lines.A look at the school calendar shows that this year we leavefor vacations on Fridays or Saturdays and return on Mondays.This means that it is not possible to make up for the Friday ofthe proposed four-day weekend by leaving a day later forhome or by returning a day earlier. Since upperclassmen donot have Saturday -classes, leaving a day later for Spring va-cation, the one holiday which starts on Friday, would not bea substitute for Friday, November 23. This Saturday in theSpring, though, could take the place of the Saturday thefreshmen would lose in the Fall. This might mean, however,a slight rearranging of the work covered during the tWo terms.

As a substitute for the Friday of the four-day weekendwe suggest that Fall registration be held on Saturday, ratherthan on Monday as it is now. The great majority of Freshmenwill be on campus having just.finished Freshmen camp. Manyof the upperclassmen will have also returned, some to takepart in rushing and others to get settled in their rooms.

Thanksgiving Day is a family holiday; it loses much of itssignificance spent away from home. We would still like to behomeward bound on November 21.

ECONOMY--MISGUIDED AND DISASTROUSWhile it is commonplace to speak of "the shortage of

trained engineers" in this country, the public figures who arebewailing the situation usually add "and scientists" to thediscussions of short supply. Working to alleviate this deficitof fundamental scientists is but one of the activities in whichthe National Science Foundation could engage. Yet, the Houseof Representatives has just lopped off $11 million from theFoundation's request for funds of $14 million for the comingyear.

That the Foundation has felt the axe is hardly to be won-dered at when one considers the alacrity with which the presentCongress wields the instrument. Considerations for the nation'swelfare seem to be unheard of. Like General Eisenhower, Pres-ident Conant of Harvard, head of the Foundation's executiveboard, has felt compelled to speak out publicly. "An exampleof wide misunderstanding of advances in pure science," iswhat he terms the cut.

Months of time and hard work have been spent over thepast few years to clear up any misunderstandings. In 1947,the Steelman report recommended the establishment of ascience foundation authorized to spend $50 million during itsfirst year of operation with succeeding annual appropriationsto reach the figure of $250 million by 1957. Such grandioseplans were short-lived. In May 1950, President Truman signedthe bill setting up the Foundation and authorizing expendituresof $500,000 the first year with $15 million to come annually.When in November 1950, the House got around to putting upsome cash, it pared the first year expenditures down to$225,000 but still promised $15 million after the first year.The Foundation had become, for the time being, just anotherscholarship agency.

It is granted that advent of the Korean conflict probablymade unavoidable some cuts in the initially planned expendi-tures for the Foundation; but the statement made at the timeby the House-Senate Committee on the bill that the act "willnot provide early aid to our defense effort" was silly. The coun-try is in for a long struggle with Soviet totalitarianism, it has

FreshrmenFootball Turno utGoode Poor Soph Showing

Field Day football faces a crisis. The turnout of Sopho-more Gridders is not adequate for the fielding of any team letalone a squad which can compete with a strong freshmn turn-out. If more Sophs do not turn out at once it may mean thatthe Field Day football contest will not be held.

Football has become a firmly entrenched part of Field Day-lradition. It is not only a big point winner in the annual tussle,but also a good indication of the kind of spirit a good classpromotes.

The class of "54" fielded a good team last year. There is11o reason why they can't do the same this year.

Let's see some of you husky Sophs reporting to Coach HowieAmderson. Show the Frosh what class spirit means.

1897; D. Chipman graduated fromthe University of the South (Sewa-nee, Tennessee). He received theMaster of Science degree from theState University of Iowa and theDoctor of Philosophy from the Uni-versity of California, then his Doc-tor of Science from the Universityof the South. Hie was assistant pro-fessor off Chemistry at Illinois Wes-leyan from 1922 to 1924 and at theGeorgia School of Technology from1.926 to 1929. Later he was Re-search engineer at the Universityof fehigan and associate directorof research at the University ofMichigan and associate director ofresearch at the ;Amnerican RollingMill Company laboratories. Hecame to the Institute in 1937 asprofessor of metallurgy and hasbeen head of the department since1946.

been told time and time again. Just what constitutes "early aid"in terms of such a long-range defense program? One needonly examine the World War II record of the Institute to findimportant examples of weapons and techniques which hadtheir roots in basic research, or to note in some cases therapidity with which technical outgrowths follow fundamentaldiscoveries.

Yet, war should not be the prime motivation behind theestablishment of a sciencefoundation, The nation is supposedlydedicated to the truth; and nowhere is the truth sought moreassiduously than in the laboratories of basic science. Withfinancial difficulties plaguing schools and other research in-stitutions, sone form of federal aid, effectively administered,is essential.

Properly set up and [financed, the National Science Founda-tion can be what the President asked for, "a single federalresearch agency." It can integrate and direct a national policyof support of fundamental science. Any action which impairsthe functioning of such an organization is inexcusable.

On Sunday morning three simul-taneous panels will, discuss theproblems of student apathy, con-tinuity of organization, and cliques.A luncheon speech by President'rillian will be followed by two aft-ernoon panels about group discus-sion techniques and planning andrunning a good meeting. A generalsummary of the conference will bemade by Robert B. Briber, '52 Chair-man of the Institute Committee, asto the conclusions reached by thepanels, and by Professor Baveliasabout the discussion mnethods used,and any conclusions reached aboutthese methods.

discussed seriously, under the aus-pices of The Faraday Society, thecontributions which this scientificapproach might make to the steelindustry were recognized, but theywere limited by the lack of quan-titaive knowledge of reaction ratesparticularly as they were affectedby temperatures used in steel-making.

In 1929, turning his attention tosteelmaking .processes, Dr. Chip-man undertook to place the physi-cal chermistry of steelmaking ona quantitative and sound theoreti-cal base. More than any othersingle individual, he has been re-sponsible for placing the mech-anism of deoxidation in steelmrk-ing on a quantitative basis, makingitpossble to determine the amountof deoxidizers, and the time andorder of their addition to achievethe desired degree of deoxSidationand the economical -production ofsteel of a desired quality.
