Physics Project Committee Named
ANNOUNCEMENT was made last month of the formation of a 13-man committee headed by Gerard Swope Jr. '29, counsel and manager of the law department of the International General Electric Co., for the $500,000 campaign to finance an addition on the north end of Wilder Physics Building.
Other members of the Physics Building Project Committee are: Albert Bradley '15, executive vice president of General Motors Corp.; Dr. David J. Bradley '38; Edward S. French '06, president of the Boston and Maine Railroad; Charles F. Kettering, director of General Motors Corp.; Tames M. Langley '18, editor and manager of the Concord Daily Monitor; Alton K. Marsters '30, vice president of American Optical Co.; Prof. Arthur B. Meservey '06, chairman of the Dartmouth physics department; Ralph A. Sawyer '15, dean of the School of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan; Herbert L. Shuttleworth II '35, vice president of the Mohawk Carpet Mills; Robert W. Stoddard, vice president of the Wyman Gordon Co.; Alexander D. Straiton, vice president of the Rock of Ages Corp.; and Dr. Guy C. Suits, director of research for the General Electric Co. Serving as executive secretary of this committee is Ford H. Whelden '25.
The Physics Building Project Committee has been given an autonomous status under the Ernest Martin Hopkins War Memorial Project because of the difference in the functions of the two postwar construction projects planned by the College. The Physics Committee is soliciting corporations, foundations and others who would not necessarily be concerned with the proposed Hopkins Center but are interested in the influence of the liberal arts college in the field of science.
