Responses to Early 1930s Ph. D.s Survey, 1980.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79015883

Responses to a survey of physicists who received their Ph. D.s in the years 1931-1934 (whose names were taken from data acculmulated by M. Lois Marckworth for her book, Dissertations in Physics, Stanford, 1961). The survey was conducted in 1980 by the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Center for History of Physics as part of the 59th Anniversary of the AIP's founding in 1931. Recipients were asked to discuss their choice of physics as a profession and the course of their careers, their satisfactions and disappointments, the changes they saw in working and teaching conditions in the field, and relations within the community and with the society at large. File includes responses from: Lewis Balamuth, James Joseph Brady, William Littell Everitt, Harold Q. Fuller, Stanford Goldman, Marshall Cathcart Harrington, Marathon Eby High, Hubert Maxwell James, John Daniel Kraus, Karl Ziegler Morgan, Ralph Emerson Nusbaum, Melba Newell Phillips, Alexander Sandow, George Kern Schoepfle, Wayne Treber Sproull, John Archibald Wheeler, and Jerrold Reinach Zacharias.
