Title: The contribution of Arthur Adel to astronomical infrared spectroscopy, 1973.

Biographical paper by Monica A. Joseph documenting Adel's early (1930s) work in infrared spectroscopy at the University of Michigan and at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, AZ. Joseph describes Adel's research into the spectra of Uranus and Neptune, the first in-depth study of atmospheric absorption of solar radiation, the first search for one-centimeter solar radiation with John D. Kraus, his work with Gerhard Dieke on the hydrogen spectrum, his discovery of atmospheric nitrous oxide and heavy water, the discovery of the 20 micron "window" in the earth's atmosphere, and the first definitive lunar emission spectrum. Joseph also discusses Adel's work in high resolution infrared spectroscopy at Holloman Air Force Base during the Second World War and his establishment of the Atmospheric Research Observatory at Arizona State College after the war.

Title: Indiana University Oral History Archive 1991-1998

This project is a compilation of interviews of subjects with strong ties to and memories of Indiana University, primarily at the Bloomington campus, including former students, faculty, and staff, among others. The information spans most of the twentieth century and deals with the administrations under presidents Herman B Wells, John Ryan, Thomas Ehrlich, and Myles Brand. The project occurred in two parts. The first round of interviews was with administrators, trustees, and other high-ranking members of the university hierarchy. The second round of interviews was with senior faculty from a number of departments in the College of Arts and Sciences. The project is a survey of Indiana University's history as a whole including information about various academic departments, athletics, student organizations, campus growth, and the university's growth in the twentieth century.
