Atomic Expert
From Britain
To Talk Here
The John Calvin McNair Lec
tyres, given annually at the Uni
versity, will be delivered March 30
and 31 and .April 1, 1954, by Prof.
C. A. Coulson, Rouse Ball Profes
sor of Applied Mathematics at Ox
ford University, England.
Announcement of the lecturer
was made yesterday by Dr. Alex
ander Head, chairman, Committee
on Established Lectures at the
University.
One of the most prominent fig
ures in Britain in the field of
atomic energy, Prof. Coulson re
ceived his undergraduate and
graduate education at the Univer
sity of Cambridge. He has visited
laboratories in the United States
in connection with his atomic en
ergy work.
He taught at Cambridge at the
University of St. Andrew's in
Scotland before becoming pro
fessor of theoretical physics at
King's College in the University
of London. He went to Oxford in
1952.
Prof. Coulson has published
three scientific books and over 100
research papers, chiefly relating
quantum theory to theoretical
chemistry. In addition to his sci
entific training and achievements,
he is a distinguished theologian in
his own right.
The McNair series is supposed
to "show the mutual bearing of
science and theology upon each
other and to prove the existence
and attributes, as far as may be,
of God from nature," Dr. Heard
said.
