Guggenheim Fellowships

191 fellowships have been awarded for 1953 by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, with the accompanying grants totaling $780,000. The fellowships, established in 1925 by the late Simon Guggenheim, are in thirty‐eight categories ranging from poetry to microbiology. The following physicists received awards: Robert K. Adair, University of Wisconsin, for a study of the low lying excited states of heavy nuclei; J. G. Daunt, Ohio State University, for studies in the field of low‐temperature physics; Martin Deutsch, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for a study of nuclear transitions and radiations; Henry A. Fairbank, Yale University, for studies of the superfluidity of liquid helium at very low temperatures; Bernard T. Feld, MIT, for researches into the interactions involved in the production of mesons by nucleons and by electromagnetic radiation; Leonard H. Hall, University of California, Santa Barbara, for a theoretical calculation of acoustic relaxation times in liquids; Peter Havas, Lehigh University, for studies in the relativistic theory of interacting elementary particles; Wayne E. Hazen, University of Michigan, for studies of V‐particles in the cosmic‐ray group; George Jura, U. C., Berkeley, for studies of the physics of the solid state; Charles K. McLane, University of Wisconsin, for studies of the properties of matter at demagnetization temperatures; A. J. F. Siegert, Northwestern University, for investigations in the field of statistical mechanics and random processes; and Samuel Siver, U. C., Berkeley, for studies on the diffraction of electromagnetic waves by apertures in an infinite plane sheet.
