'Frosh To FlX Mos

By KARL T. COMPTON

In Tuesday's installment of his reminiscences, Dr. Compton describedhis life as a chemistry instructor at the College of Wooster and hisexperience as a graduate !ktudent in physics at Princeton.

Today Dr. Compton tells of his experience as a teacher St 1NeedCollege and his return to Princeton, where he became head of theDepartment of Physics. It Was at this stage that he was unexpectedlyoffered the presidency of P.LT.

Copyright, 1950, by TIEE TECH.

PART HIOnce again Fate intervened from an unexpected quarter.

Four of us at the graduate students' house had for two yearscarried on a continuous bridge tournament,--a chemist, anarcheologist, an historian, and I. We limited ourselves to onerubber each night after dinner, before going back to our respec-tive laboratories or seminars for the nightly sessions with ourresearch problems. My partner in this bridge marathon had,in his undergraduate days, been student assistant to ProfessorWilliam Trufant Foster of Bowdoin College, who had onlyrecently been elected President of the newly founded ReedCollege in Portland, Oregon.

My partner, the archeologist, without my knowledge, wroteto President Foster to suggest me to organize and head thephysics department in this new college. , What he said aboutme I do not know. He' may well have written: "If you have notyet selected the head for your physics department, I can suggesta man whom I know at second hand too have a prety todreputation as a young physicist. All I know at first hand abouthis technical competence pertains to the field of bridge." How-ever this may be, Dr. Foster came to Prineetob and off ered methe job at Reed College. where I spent two very satisfying years.

Around the middle of my second year at Reed CollegeI received a letter which again altered my career. ProfessorO. W. Richardson, under whom I had received my researchtraining and inspiration at Princeton, wrote that he was goingback to England to accept the Wheatstone Professorship at theUniversity of London, but that, before going, he had been askedby Yale University to suggest a young physicist for addition to'its staff. He said that he had recommended me, and advisedme to submit my application for the job, which I did promptly.

To strengthen my case before the authorities at Yale, Iwrote to the head of the physics department at Princeton askingif he would support my application to Yale. To give him abasis for judging my performance since leaving Princeton, Itold him about some of the interesting research which had beencarried on by four of my Reed College undergraduates andwhich was soon to be reported insa series of papers in thePhysical Review-.

The net result of all this was that I never had any replyfrom Yale, but was highly pleased and surprised when a lettercame quickly from Princeton offering me an assistant professor-ship and an opportunity to carry on research work with studentsin the general field of electronics, which Professor Richardsonhad established Lhere with such notable success.

Let me skip over fifteen happy and productive years on thePrinceton faculty, including the period of World War I whichwas not without incidents, with the relating of only one reveal-ing episode. Toward the end of my firs year on the facultythe head of my department stepped into my laboratory room.one day and said, that he had recommended me to be head ofthe physics department of a smaller university, and advised meto visit the institution and look the place over. I tried to thankhim with a show of appreciation, but it was hard to put on theshow, for I interpreted this to mean.that my performance had

snot been up to the department's expectations and that I wasA (Xo~ttr" or Pare 4}(0o0t~nued on Page 4)

THE DISPOSSESSEDIn an attempt to create some semblance of a "college

spirit" and to unify the members of the entering class, theHousing Director has seen fif to establish the system of dormi-tory priorities presented elsewhere in this issue. As long asadequate facilities are available to accommodate all upperclass-men now living in the 'dormitory system we believe that thenew priority system, with but one exception, is a sound one.However, it is to be noticed that all present residents of theMunroe, Hayden, and Wood dormitories and the residents ofthe third, fourth, and fifth floors of Wolcott, Bemiis, andGoodale will be "dispossessed" come next September. It is ourbelief that this is an unjust decision. Although the people who

I-would wish to remain in the above mentioned rooms represent Photo Deadline HoWonly a minority of the total dormitory population, the factremains that under a reasonable priority system any upper-classman now occupying a room should have first claim on thesame room in the fall.

The dorm units under question represent a unique typeof accomnmodation to be found nowhere else on the campus.Generally speaking, the rooms in the Hayden group are superiorto those found in any other housing unit with the exception ofthe New Dormitories. We are advised that the Hayden groupwas selected for freshman reservation partially because itwas felt that present residents considered these rooms leastdesirable of the accommodations in the Old Dormitories. Thisis a mistaken opinion; actually, present Dorndwellers con-sider the Hayden unit rooms the best in the Old Dorm group,and we can predict that many will howl very loudly when theydiscover that they will be forced to live elsewhere next term.

We agree that there are great benefits to be derived fromproviding a freshman dormitory. We have always felt that itwould be of great value to require all freshmen to live in thedormitories for at least the first term, and certainly the newhousing policy is a step in this direction. One reason for theestablishment of the new policy came about when it was learnedthat many potential Techmen have cancelled their registrationmaterial when they discovered that they would not be assuredof a place to live. Obviously, this is' an undesirable situation inneed of correction. By reserving space for 350 freshmen, theAdmissions Office will be able to guarantee rooms for all fresh-men who want them.

But to reserve space for a large body of freshmen doesn'timply that upperclassmen should not be present. We believe thatupperclassmen in the same building with new students exerta stimulating and helpful influence on these people. Thesesame upperclassmen provide a valuable source of informationto the myriad questions and problems that the neophyte engi-neer faces. The problem is basically one of distribution and webelieve the solution lies in having large groups of upperclassmenin the same building as a large group of new students. Forexample the top three floors of the Hayden unit could be setaside for members of the entering class and the bottom floorsreserved for students wishing these accommodations, and fresh-men might be interspersed with upperclassmen in any roomsthat become available in Riverside next September.

Once again it was poor fieldingwhich proved to be the Engineers'downfall, as five errors contributedto eight unearnmed enemy runs. TheTerriers, on the other hand, backedtheir pitchers with errorlesssupport, and turned in some out-standing defensive plays.

I OFFICIAL DORMITORYPOLICY

Dormitory Accommodatious

September, 1950 to February, 1951The general policy governing Student

IHousing (Catalogue Issue June, 1949, Ap-pendix C) will be in effect as indicated onthis notice. Present residents of the house-Ing system who wish to apply for accom-modations for the fall term of the academicyear 1950-51 are requested to read the por-tion of the Catalogue dealing with govern-ment, equipment, applications, and reser-vations, allotment of rooms, fraternity af-filiation and regulations.

Your attention is called to a change inpolicy, effective as of the Fall Term 1950.regarding Equipment and Service, which'will be applicable to all housing accommo-dations both graduate and undergraduate.Since the erection of the first housing unitin 1J1610 the Institute has maintained itspolicy of providing accommodations fullyequipped for occupancy, and has in thisrespect been unique among men's collegesin this area. Unfortunately, the increasedcost of service and of all supplies andequipment, including replacements, hasmade it necessary either to abandon thispolicy or to increase the rents proportion-ately. After a careful survey of all thefactors involved the Committee on Hous-ing has unanimously agreed that to aban-don this policy is preferable to an increasein rate.

There will, therefore, be no increase inrentals for 1950-51 but as of the Fall Term,190, the Institute will be unable to furnishblankets, bed linen -(sheets and pilloweases), towels, soap, or laundry service forbed linen and towels. Residents may,however, make arrangements through theHousing Office to purchase at reduced rates,the supply of those items on hand at theopening of the term if they so desire.

being gently eased oiut. . was enthusiastic about my work andassociations at Princeton, but with a heavy heart set -oat for the'visit.to this other university.

Immediately upon my return, the department head calledto ask how I had made out. I told him that I had received theoffer of the position, at a very attractive salary. He said: "Donothing about this until you hear from me again, for I mustsee the President about it at once." In a few hours he cameback to say that the President had authorize- my promotionto an associate professorship at a substantial increase in salary,and that he hoped I would stay in Princeton.

During the next fourteen years I did no more job hunting,and was only once seriously tempted by another position. Ihad been made a "research professor" and had succeeded mybeloved chief to be head of the department of physics on hisretirement, and had served two years as president of the Amer-ican Physical Society. Then, one day in early 1930 I receiveda letter from Dr. Gerard Swope, then president of the.GeneralElectric Company, asking me to call on him in New York at myearly convenience.

Since I had been a consultant for this company for nearlyten years in the field of electronics, and had -made 'frequent

a visits to its research laboratories, I anticipated: that Dr. Swopee wished to discuss the company's research program. This provedn to be the case. After being questioned very keenly about theD conditions in the company's laboratories, as I evaluated them,I I agreed to send Dr. Swope a written report, including some

suggestions for the recruitment of younger research personnel.Shortly after I had sent this document to him, Dr. Swope

e asked me to see him again. When I did so, he told -e that her had submitted my suggestions to Dr. Whitney, who was thel: director of the G. E. Research Laboratories, but that what hee really wanted to see me about was to ask whether I wouldr become the president of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-ls nology D

In Tuesday's installment, Dr. Corpton discuses the factors whichhe considered in deciding to give up his career as a physicist at Princetonto accept the Presidency of .I.T.
