Samuel Abraham Goudsmit papers, 1928-1932 1928-1932

http://www.amphilsoc.org/mole/view?docId=ead/Mss.530.1.Ar2.6-ead.xml

These are copies of material, mainly letters, not filmed for the Archive for the History of Quantum Physics (see PAAV86-A21). There is an interesting letter from Charle G. Darwin (1932) referring to Paul Ehrenfest, letters about the state of physics at Northwestern University from R. A. Fisher and B. J. Spence, and a letter by Hermann Weyl outlining a talk he was to give in Boston in December 1928.

John Clarke Slater was a physicist. He graduated from Harvard (Ph. D. 1923) and continued his studies at Cambridge University. He also studied in Copenhagen for six months under Niels Bohr, with whom Slater worked again in 1929 on the quantum theory. He returned to the United States in 1930 to become head of the department of physics at M.I.T., where he worked with Karl Compton to transform the study of physics there.
