Friday evening lectures
Here are some suggestions for Friday evening demonstration lectures by people in the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. I shall in a few days send over some additional suggestions.
Gunnar Bergman: Diffraction Methods of Determining the Structure of Molecules.
J. D. Roberts: Title to be supplied by him.
Bruce H. Sage: Some Characteristics of the Critical State.
Allen Lein (Visiting Professor from Northwestern University Medical School): Iodine Metabolism.
Oliver R. Wulf: Title to be supplied by him.
I may mention that I talked with Professor Sage about the motion picture "Artillery Rockets" shown by him in 1951. He said that he would prefer not to present this motion picture, partially because it was made by the Lauritsens, and he thought that one of the Lauritsens should properly present it.
