Visiting scientists

A considerable expansion is planned during the current academic year in the AAPT/AIP Visiting Scientists Program for colleges. During the preceding year, the National Science Foundation provided support for visits of scientists to some 120 colleges and universities, whereas for 1964–65 approximately 200 schools will be visited. This year, all applications from colleges that have not previously participated in the program will be given priority. However, most of the applications from schools that have already participated can probably be accepted. Department chairmen should send their requests promptly to the Visiting Scientists Program in Physics—College, American Institute of Physics, 335 East 45 Street, New York, N.Y. 10017.
