u [ i I I With one third or its staff starred hy the Ameri- can Men or Science, the histitute has a complement or scientists which marks it as the modern interpreta- tion ot Plato s Academy. Having two Nobel prize winners on its staff, the Physics department, headed by Robert A. Milhkan, is noted throughout the world for its successful investi- gations in nuclear and atomic physics, radiation, and cosmic rays. Dr. Max Mason and the 200 inch tele- scope keep the Institute constantly in the public eye. Under Linus Pauling the Chemistry department has made great advances, especially in research along the lines of structural and biological chemistry financed by the Rockefeller Foundation. Biology has been focussed on genetics, in a con- certed effort led by Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan to for- ward this study as a quantitative science. Working in a field which is becoming more basic to all other sciences, Dr. E. T. Bell has made the Mathematics department outstanding for its activity in new realms. Seismology, the study of earthquakes and the earth s interior, has made the Geology department, headed by Dr. John P. Buwalda, world famous in recent years. l icliard Tolnian Erir Be l inus I ' iinlin Idlin P. Buwalda Thomas H. Morgan 20
