The accession consists of two audio cassette tapes recording a paper by University of California President David S. Saxon presented at a symposium in honor of the seventieth birthday of John Wilder Miles entitled, Of Fluid Mechanics and Related Matters, and forty-eight color and black and white photograpic prints of the symposium. The symposium was held in Sumner Auditorium, Scripps Institution of Oceanography on November 29-30 and December 1, 1990. President Saxon's paper was entitled, "About John Miles." The audio cassette tape recording of Saxon's paper was made by UCSD Audiovisual Services at the request of symposium organizer Rick Salmon. The photographs were taken by Rick Salmon. The photographs include images of Richard Atkinson, John Miles, Chia-Shun Yih and other symposium participants. Proceedings of the symposium, including a transcript of Saxon's paper, were edited by Rick Salmon and Don Betts and published under the title, "Of Fluid Mechanics and Related Matters: The Proceedings of a Symposium Honoring John Miles on his Seventieth Birthday," by Scripps Institution of Oceanography in September 1991 as SIO Reference Series No. 91-24.

2 sound cassette tape recordings (180 minutes) and 48 photographs.

An internationally known research engineer, who has specialized in fluid dynamics, and the associate editor of the Journal of Fluid Mechanics for more than 30 years. Miles was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1920. After graduating from high school in Oakland, Calif., he entered Cal Tech, earning a B.A. in electical engineering in 1942, a masters degree in electrical and aeronautical engineering in 1943, and a Ph. D. in electrical engineering in 1944. While working on his doctoral thesis, Miles held ...
