The Samuel T. and Fern Yanagisawa Regents Professor of Astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin, J. Craig Wheeler earned his B. S. in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1965 and a doctorate from the University of Colorado in 1969. In 1974, Wheeler began working at UT, publishing around 200 papers in academic journals and conference proceedings as well as serving as president of the American Astronomical Society from 2006 to 2008. From the guide to the Whe...

On February 1, 1954, the Michigan Council of Churches stated their position in regard to a bill pending in the Michigan Senate that would allow charity gambling. Dr. David S. Evans, Methodist minister in Okemos, Michigan (later in Battle Creek and then in Hillsdale, Michigan), became active in a drive to defeat the proposal, a drive already backed by other members of the Michigan Council of Churches. His work helped to defeat Proposal 4 on the Michigan Ballot on Nov. 2, 1954, that w...

Alfred Schild (1921-1977) was a mathematical physicist specializing in relativity and gravitation at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (1946-1957) and the University of Texas at Austin (1957-1977). His work concentrated on foundations of relativity, quantization, algebraically special solutions, and conformal techniques. His later research dealt particularly with Fokker action principles and string models of particles. From the description of Schild, Alfred, papers, 1915-1982. (Un...

UT Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6qs14wz (corporateBody)

The Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics is a biennial symposium focusing on the latest observations and developments in astronomy and physics, specifically relating to relativistic astrophysics. Alfred Schild and Ivor Robinson co-founded the symposium, a collaboration between the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Texas at Dallas, in 1962. The first four meetings were held at either Austin or Dallas, but the international appeal of the symposium led to conv...
