An invited address by the director of research of the Atomic Energy Commission, presented at the Spring Meeting of the American Physical Society at the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C., April 30, 1953.

The conditions influencing the production of physicists in colleges and universities are basic to any discussion of manpower problems in physics. In this, the first of two articles on the comparative histories of physicists, the training and background of a representative group of physicists are discussed. A second article, to appear next month, will trace the relationships of the various factors tending to induce students to become physicists.
