On the occasion of the 80th birthday celebration for Clarence Melvin Zener, 1985.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82530412

This memoir, by Frederick Seitz, is at least as much about Seitz's graduate studies, colleagues, and teachers at Princeton University as it is about Zener's work there in superconductivity, atomic and molecular collisions, and wave functions. Seitz also discusses Zener's appointments at Washington University (St. Louis), Princeton University, City College of New York, the Institute of Metals at the University of Chicago, Westinghouse Research Labortories, and Texas A&M University; and Zener's work during World War II.

The collection documents the physical expansion of the University from its earliest period through the acquisition of large tracts of land in the 20th century, including the properties around Carnegie Lake and numerous farms. Early records document transactions with such Princeton University notables as Nathaniel Fitz Randolph, John Witherspoon, Walter Minto, John and Richard Stockton, and John Maclean. For the most part, the papers consist of standard legal documents with detailed descriptions ...
