Association of Pasadena Scientists.

Hide Profile

The Association of Pasadena Scientists was founded late in 1945 as a response to the growing controversy over the use of atomic energy. Membership was open to scientists, graduate students, and technicians in the Pasadena area, and was composed mainly of persons on the staff of the California Institute of Technology. Their main purpose was to meet the increasingly apparent responsibility of scientists in promoting the welfare of mankind and the achievement of a stable world peace.
