The visiting scientists program in physics
DOI: 10.1063/1.3062727
Academic year 1957–58 was the first year of the visiting physicists program. Seventy‐five prominent physicists packed their bags and, putting aside research and administration for a few days, set out on visits to colleges to talk about physics. Another twenty‐eight visited high schools for a day. The activities during the visits left no doubt that physicists have a common interest in educational problems and that progress in solving the problems requires cooperation of the kind that made the visits possible.
