Now' that two sessions of the. U. A. C. National Summer school have been held, and our citizens have talked, dined and walked with some of the greatest figures in the world today, it is difficult to introduce a national figure famous enough to create a stir of interest and it .is almost impossible to find adjectives with which to characterize such a man. , However, in bringing Dr. R. A. Millikan to Logan for a series of lectures, the 1926 session of Ihe National Summer school has reached new heights. Dr. Millikan is one of the most famous figures in the world of science today second only to Einstein in the field of physics. He is more than a great .scientist he is a great man arman with broad vision for the future progress of a man of deep spiritualibpand a deep reverence for religion. hu-bian- The following article written by Bailey Millard and from the Worlds Work for April gives an interesting picture of the scientist and of the man. The Journal is pleased to introduce to its readers a man whom they to greet personally Dr; shall soon be able E. A. Millikan.) of an order rarely seen even in age of a strenuous endeavor is one of the chief attributes of Dr. Robert A. Millikan, whose discovery of the rays bearing his name has been hailed as one of the outstanding events of tht? scientific world in recent years. The Millikan, or cosmic, rays are more powerful and penetrating than any previously discovered. They travel from unknown' regions of space toward the earth with the speed of light, and are of almost immeasurably short wavelengths shorter than the ultra-violwaves, or the ZEAL et of the waves X-ra- or the gamma-ray- s of radium. His atomic investigations covered a period of nine years, while to ascertain and t nail .down the facts of the existence of in support of the theory the cosmic rays required about seven years of painstaking research. Looking at him as he sat at his desk in the California Institute of Technology not long ago, it was easy to believe what others had told me of his character. He had the calm, confident, and determined air of a man the first great law of whose being is to complete whatever he begins. They had told me that if he engaged in any important no matter what its difficulties, he kept everlastingly at it, peering and prying until he had mastered its secret and achieved a conclusive and satisfactory result. When he was engaged in his atomic work, one of his assistants had told me, he would come in from a social party or lecture ft midnight in his evening clothes, go into tk, the laboratory, and, without changing his clothes, would labor for hours, endeavoring to measure electrons on oil droplets less than a thousandth of a millimeter in diameter, checking the results of his observations and going over his work again and again to make certain he was on the right track. This work, it may be said here, resulted in the isolation of the electron. Dr. Millikans first' great contribution to science and the one for which he received the Nobel prize for in 1923. physics Little suggestion of the scientist is seen business-lik- e man of the in this y eye, ready smile, and gentle kindly humor, whose hair, touched by the first face frost, is smoothly brushed, and has the ruddy tint of health. As he sits in his big office, signing, letters with dispatch, he reminds one at first sight ,of a banker rather than of any of the scientists one commonly meets, though now and then there creeps into his conversation that air of precision so characteristic of men of his profession. Then, suddenly his eye may take on the look of a dreamer gazing afar into the realm' of the unknown, and one will forget all about the banker and think of the poet and man of vision a thought readily presented when he utters soYne great spiritual truth, as he is apt to do when he discusses the tela- tion of science and religion, one of his favorite themes. This combination of metaphysical and physical lore, bespeaking as it does a broad, tolerant mind, is natural in his case, as he comes from New England stock and there is a strain of Puritanism in him. He was bom in Morrison, Illinois, in 1868, and his father was a Congregational minister of that town. The religious home influence of Robert Millikans boyhood days has never left him. In his college days his most absorbing study was not physics, though he then laid a good foundation for his great work in that He had a penchant for field in after-lifGreek and mathematics, in which he soon excelled. His interest in physics developed clean-shave- n, blue-gra- e. after he became a tutor at uberlin in his . 1910 he was appointed professor of physics, which post he occupied fur eleven years, or until he went to Pasadena, California, to be director of the Norman Bridge Laboratory of Physics of the California Institute of Technology and later executive chairman of W.

His. advancement was m part the result of the hardest kind of work in the difficult field he had chosen- - His researches had convinced him of the great importance of the discovery, of the secret of atomic force, which he believed, energized and actuated physical creation ."including animal life. He determined to make a closer study of atoms than had previously been made. The electron had been determined by Thomson to be, the ultimate divisibility of matter. But what was the electron? Was it merely a manifestation of that energy seen in the minute revolutions of positive and negative charges of electricity, or was it something that might Nolie isolated, Weighed, and measured? such and had ever isolation, attempted body when Millikan set out upon this inconceivably difficult adventure he was alone .in a new and strange field. But he succeeded, and succeeded so well that the Nobel prize was awarded for his paper describing his work. To him the atom is not the inffinitcsimal entity that it is to the lay mind. He has come to regard it as a, world in itself, with a world of potentiality, and he has made many others see it as such. One glimpses JLhis marvelous truth- when one is told that the biggest atomic nucleus ever measured has n of diameter of less than one the diameter of the atom. As Dr. Millikan says : -- This makes our solar system look pretty crowded, for the sun is only about one hundred solar diameters from the earth. The unoccupied space in the interior of the atom is relatively immensely greater than the unoccupied space in the solar system worlds, The electronic and lie says, have revealed themselves with beautiful definiteness and wonderful consistency to the eye of the modern physicist.

It pictures God, however you may conceive Him, as essentially good, as providing a reason for existence,, in that we may.be a part of that great plan of world progress.

These he certainly has, along with a propulsive force that has carried him on from one scientific triumph to another, making reality of hypothesis and proving that reality in practical terms.
