Mr. Smith ' s professional .ifhliations .ire with the American Philosophical Association and the Met.i- physical Society of America. Not to be cla.sscd as an Ivory-tower Scientist, HENRY MAR GENAU, Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics and Natural Phi losophy, plays the role of both an intellectual and practical citizen He is an expert in many fields from religion to philosophy, phy sits being his major interest. As a physicist with an interd plinary approach. Professor Margenau ' s primary interest is ir reconciling science and humanism. His is a very Germanic char acter: thorough and intellectually persistent, but with a warmth and real concern for every problem. In addition. Professor Mar- genau is gifted with the ability of communicating enthusiasm almost to the point of mesmerism. CHARLES BLITZER, Assistant Professor of Political Science, was reelected Alderman in 1956 by the largest majority in the history of his ward. Mr. Blitzer often makes use of his first-hand experience in his courses, attempting to give his students a feel- ing for politics. He is an expert on Sir James Harrington, and an authority on seventeenth century politics. Mr. Blitzer plays his role as an expert political scientist during teas at the Eliza- bethan Club. To the consternation of many of his victims on the faculty, Mr. Blitzer is also an accomplished poker player in less serious moments.
