Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Near Fine. Original Records. The remaining archive of materials maintained as records of each of the Annual Faraday lectures given at Pasadena City College 1928-1972. The lectures were on scientific subjects, and an award was given for the best notes of the lectures by a Junior High School Student. Almost…all of the lectures were by well-known scientists who were innovative leaders in their field, many being professors at CalTech. The Fourth and Fifth Lectures were given by Paul L. Johnson of Bell Laboratories, on Sound Reproduction and on Television; the Sixth Lecture by Nobel Prize Winner Linus Pauling, "Recent Developments Regarding the Structure of Atoms and Molecules", with an original photo of Pauling in front of the display; the Seventh by G. Ross Robertson was "Modern Miracles of Organic Chemistry", with a signed letter; The Eighth by Leroy G. Leishman, "The Magic Story of Television", with his signature; the Ninth by Arnold O. Beckman, Acidity and Its Practical Significance, with his signature; the Tenth by Nobel Prize winner Carl D Anderson, "Delving Into the Atom"; the Nineteenth [1946] by Nobel Prize winner Robert A Millikan, "The Atomic age and Its Interpretation"; the Twentieth by Nobel Prize winner Glenn T. Seaborg; "New Elements and How to Make Them"; the Twentieth agaiin by Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, "Molecular Nature of Blood"; the Twenty-third by Nobel Prize winner Wendell M Stanley; the Twenty-Firth by Nobel Prize winner Edwin M. McMillan, "Cyclotrons and Synchrotrons"; the Thirtieth by JPL Director William H Pickering, "Rockets, Missiles and Satellites"; the Thirty-Second by Charles F. Richter, "Measuring Earth's Gravitation"; the Thirty-Third by Nobel Prize winner Willard F. Libby; the Thirtieth by Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman, etc. The archive consists of records maintained by the faculty member responsible for the lectures after 1934; signatures of those attending the Faraday Dinners [including the speakers G. Ross Robertson, Leroy G. Leishman, Arnold O. Beckman], and some correspondence, but no signatures of Nobel Prize winners; posters announcing the upcoming lectures, most on card, from 1935 on, including Pauling, Feynman, etc, some in multiple copies; some correspondence; newspaper clippings about the lectures; signed records from attendance at the Annual Faraday Dinners; some notes on the lectures by the winning students; odd tickets, programs, invitations. An interesting archive, 3/4 of a file box in total. To be sold only as an entire archive, no individual items, with the possible exception of a few duplicates of the posters. Signed by Author(s).
