Physics PHYSICS DEPARTMENT Dr. Margenau, Dr. Butler, and Dr. Verbrugge. Dr. Margenau, Hill Foundation lecturer. Including Dr. Frank Verbrugge, chairman, and Dr. William A. Butler, the department of physics under- took projects including a study of . -ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance. Research involved an in- strument designed by Dr. Verbrugge that allowed pre- cise measurement of magnetic resonance phenomena. Exultation swept through Dr. Henry Margenau ' s large class at the close of his first lecture. Here was a man who loved and knew his science and philosophy so well that complicated subjects became simple and beautifully logical under his teaching. Not only his two classes, but Sigma Xi, convocation, and many in- formal groups discovered this faculty. Regretfullv, at the semester ' s close, his manv Carleton friends sent the popular Hill Foundation lecturer home to Yale. Fritz Phelps adjusts an instrument. 29

LAIRD On the Carleton campus, the home of the sciences has long been Laird Hall. It was erected in 1905 as a result of a $100,000 endowment to the science department by Mr. William H. Laird, then chairman of the Board of Trustees. Laird Hall was officially dedicated during Commencement Week in June, 1906, marking the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the college. Forty-one candidates received their degrees as Laird became the si.xth permanent building to take its place around the Bald Spot. When in 1921 the chemistry department, along with the geology department, moved to its present home in Leighton Hall, Laird was left with tlie biolog % but later welcomed the botanv, zoology, and phvsics de- partments and the offices of the president and the vice- president. 28
