Outside of museum holdings, no comprehensive survey and inventory of campus artwork had been attempted since 1937. With support from the Michigan Commission on Art in Public Places, 1,076 items were inventoried during 1988-1990. Additional inventory work was undertaken in 1997-1998 for risk management purposed, but generated little new information. From the description of Inventory of University of Michigan-owned art, 1988-1990, 1997-1998. (University of Michigan). WorldCat record id...

Midwestern physicists who had attended the dedication of the Cosmotron at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the winter of 1952-1953 began discussing the need for a high energy research facility in the Midwest. In the spring of 1953, Professor Enrico Fermi addressed physicists from the Midwest at the Institute of Nuclear Studies in Chicago, giving his views. As a result, physicists from the Universities of Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and Chicago formed an ad...

A member of the University of Michigan Department of Physics faculty from 1952 to 1998, Jones' research interests spanned the range of particle accelerator design, detector developments, cosmic ray research, and proton accelerators. He was heavily involved in the international high energy physics experiment, L3, based in the CERN laboratory in Switzerland. Jones also led efforts to locate a superconducting super collider in Michigan in the 1980s. From the des...
