Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - October 29, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky of b universities the role of our universities in developing services to the country is of ten neglected in the broader discussion of Why freshmen cannoli sign Ell and seniors do not think. Alter seeing a flock of Young ladies who have majored in this or that and none of whom have any Clear concept of Why they went to College. It is some satisfaction to have a look at the enormous services of the major universities in the broader Fields of knowledge. I happened to be glancing through the record of George b. Pegram Dean of the graduate faculties of Columbia University. Dean Pegram died Hast summer and. Of course that event did not make much noise hardly As much As the passing of a Bela died Auto Lacer but in the history of the development of the use of atomic Energy the role played by Dean Pegram is extraordinarily significant. He made the first Contact with the United states government in 1939 which eventually resulted in tile establishment of the Manhattan project which produced the atom bomb. It was under i direction that Early in 1939. Or. John r Dunning and or. Enrico Fermi of the Columbia physics department planned to demonstrate the Energy released by uranium fission. This was done on january 25, 1 93 9 by the creation of 100.000.000 Electron volts from a shattered atom on Columbia University a Cyclotron. Too the Date is significant thus was done before there was any world War ii. Purely As a scientific Experiment. In tact Dean Pegram notified tile Navy that this had been done at Columbia and the reason that he notified the Navy is that it occurred to him that these scientists had probably found the answer to the fuel problem of submarine. He wrote a a rile space problem might be licked by the use of atomic Energy and this fuel would not require later that year. Alexander Sachs who was then an economist in Wall Street and a Brilliant mathematician. Went to president Roosevelt with a letter from Albert Einstein to explain to the president the significance of nuclear physics. The president became immensely interested and appointed an advisory committee on uranium with or. Pegram As chairman this became the famous is committee which served throughout the War to advise the government and com which the Manhattan project received its scientific impetus. Before this country went to War Dean Pegram went to England to whether the atom bomb could be developed there he returned to this country convinced that it had to be an american Job. At Columbia. Apart from Pegram Dunning and Urey. Fermi. Szilard. Anderson. Zinn Well. Peld and others Wert already at work on the a other scientific which in time were translated into the defense of the United states. Ioos work similar to this Issing on in universities All tilt time by in Dubhe izod scholars who do not ask for much return from anyone of the wonderful work they Are doing they do not ret Cive great salaries. They do not sport wealth in the night clubs to big cities occasionally one such will get a Nobel prize or an honorary degree and his picture will bt1 printed in a newspaper but generally such men seek no great honors or rewards. Their accomplishment Are written in the history of the human race. In the United states where Hie Possession of Money used to be the Mark of Success More and Mote we Are turning to those who possess great Talent and whose services Are not measurable in Money. Nobody for instance can measure the Worth of the life cd Dean Pegram of whom it can be said that he brought together a Galaxy of scientists and made it possible for our nation to Avail itself of their services. Many of them Are not now a Columbia but have gone to other universities or Are working for the government 0 3 0 americans search tor Talent must give us altogether different values in appraising human beings and perhaps in rewarding them. T h c scientists who in 1939 thought that they had discovered a fuel for a submarine could not have appreciated that of 1958. Their ideas would prove so Correct that tin a Nautilus went under the ice Cap at the North pole in one of the Mast amazing voyages of exploit lion in human history these Are the heroes of amen can life in our times.
