http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28262955

Scientific manuscripts, lectures, articles and lab manuals relate to Lecomte du Noüy's research in biophysics; performed chiefly at the Rockefeller Institute, New York, 1920-1927, and the Pasteur Institute, Paris, 1927-1936. After 1936, his writings concern philosophy of science; specifically as it relates to evolution, religion, and teleology. Manuscripts present include L'Avenir de l'Espirit, La Dignité Humaine, L'Homme Devant la Science, Expose des Travaux, Le Temps et la Vie (Biological Time), and Human Destiny. Correspondents include Alexis Carrel, Pierre Devaux, Charles Guye, Ferdinand Herčík, and Charles Lindbergh. Correspondence and articles provide information about Lecomte du Noüy's association with the American U.S.O. from 1944-1945. His plays and short stories appear to have been written from 1902 to 1914. Photographs are of Lecomte, his laboratory, and his family.
