GREEN, Associate Professor of Psychology; LAWRENCE E. HARVEY, Associate Professor of Romance Languages; HAZLETON MIRKIL III, Associate Professor of Mathematics; WIL-LIAM G.

THE National Science Foundation has awarded John W. Dewdney, Assistant Professor of Physics, a $5,929 grant to develop an inexpensive mass spectrometer especially adapted for teaching principles of nuclear physics. Dewdney plans to develop a simple but effective instrument which can be made from parts and materials largely available in a hardware store and which thus will be within reach of schools with limited teaching budgets. The mass spectrometer, providing information essential to an understanding of modern physics, separates electrically charged atoms according to their mass. For example, it can distinguish the isotopes of an element by separating the heavy from light atoms. A commercial mass spectrometer costs thousands of dollars and is more elaborate than necessary for classroom use. Professor Dewdney already has developed a teaching model which can be reproduced for about $1,000, and has used it successfully in Dartmouth classes. This year with the help of the grant he hopes to develop a mass spectrometer that can be built for less than $50 if a vacuum pump and other common laboratory equipment are available.

RECENTLY returned from a year's leave of absence in Denmark is Professor Elmer Harp, Jr. of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. In addition to his studies in Copenhagen, Professor Harp was invited to give a series of lectures in Norway and Sweden. He spoke to the Norwegian Ethnological Society at the University of Oslo, to the Swedish Archeological Society in Stockholm, and at the University of Goteborg. While on this tour he examined archeological collections from the Scandinavian Arctic and visited several outstanding sites which date from the Viking Period.

I ATE last spring David C. Nutt '41, Research Associate in Geography, completed a three-week trip to Alaska, the purpose of which was to study the various arctic research activities in this area. The trip included visits to the University of Washington in Seattle, the Arctic Health Research Center and District Engineers in Anchorage, the University of Alaska, and the Arctic Aero Medical Laboratory at Point Barrow. From Point Barrow it was possible to visit the Research Station at Peters Lake in the eastern Brooks Range, the floating ice island T-3, and to participate in the search in the northern Beaufort Sea for an ice floe on which to establish a new floating station.

This past summer Commander Nutt gave a paper to the Greenland Symposium of the International Geographical Congress in Copenhagen reporting on the results of the study of gas inclusions in glacier ice and the dating by carbon-14 of Greenland icebergs. He has continued to be extremely active in polar research affairs, serving last year as treasurer of the Arctic Institute of North America and this year as vice-chairman of the board and as chairman of the Institute's research committee. He is a member of the Heat and Water Panel of the National Academy of Science's Polar Research Committee.

A GRANT of $6,255 from the National Science Foundation permitted six Dartmouth students and Dr. Robert G. Chaffee '36, curator of geology at the College Museum, to spend six weeks in Wyoming this summer on a geological field trip. The group worked in the Bridger Basin, near the Green River, investigating stratographic levels in an attempt to trace the Middle Eocene period of the basin and river and to link formations in the two places to the same period. President Dickey's son, John '63, was one of the NSF research training fellows in the party.
