The visiting scientists program in physics Available to Purchase

Academic year 1957–58 was the first year of the visiting physicists program. Seventy‐five prominent physicists packed their bags and, putting aside research and administration for a few days, set out on visits to colleges to talk about physics. Another twenty‐eight visited high schools for a day. The activities during the visits left no doubt that physicists have a common interest in educational problems and that progress in solving the problems requires cooperation of the kind that made the visits possible.
