The Shelter Island Conference on Low Temperatures, May 31–June 2, tried to interpret low temperature theory, and make some sense out of superconductivity and liquid helium. London, Onsager, Tisza, Van Vleck, Slater, and various other theorists all had things to say, as did a number of experimentalists. There were arguments, but no violent fights; and there was progress toward understanding, though nothing spectacular.
