Beginning in 1927 the University of Michigan's summer school in physics became famous as the international forum for learning about the latest advances in modern physics. Within a decade of its inception perhaps half of the most renowned European physicists had turned up for its sessions—scientists like Fermi, Dirac, Pauli, Sommerfeld, Goudsmit, Uhlenbeck, Ehrenfest and the astrophysicists Robert Atkinson and E. A. Milne.
