Presidential Address: Mathematical Combinations Which Correspond To Physical Impossibilities, E. R. Smith

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In speaking to you as a representative from the Mathematical Section of the Academy, I have a feeling of hesitance which is quite usual among mathematicians when they address a mixed or non-mathematical group of scientific men and women. It is a well established tradition that scientists may complacently separate themselves from mathematics and it is equally true that mathematicians are timid about discussing their work with scientists outside their own circle. On the one hand the scientist tends to avoid abstraction, and on the other hand the mathematician does not seek reality. It was this feeling of Separation that …

Scholastic Progress Of Students Entering The Iowa State College With Low High School Averages, John L. Holmes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the fall quarters of 1939 and 1940 students entering the Iowa State College directly from high school with averages below 1.5l1 were grouped together in a "pre-admission guidance" program. In the two years considered, ninety-six students with high school averages below 1.51 entered the Iowa State College. The program was the same for both years. The students included in the program were asked to be on the campus two days before regular freshman week began. During these two days they were given tests of scholastic ability, silent reading skills, English and mathematics achievement. Fall quarter class schedules were made …

The Iowa Academy Of Science In Relation To Its Contributions To The Welfare Of The Commonwealth Of The State And Nation, J. N. Martin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

State Academies have seemingly had their greatest success in the Central-Western states. In these states the more isolated conditions of the scientific workers made the need for such organizations keenly felt. But, important as the academies have been in broadening and shaping the scientific views and attitudes of their members and in stimulating the scientific endeavors of its members and others within the scope of their influence, they quite early in their history took on another function of great importance. They soon began to serve in advisory capacities on various scientific problems concerning the welfare of the state and even …

Schiaparelli's Shooting Stars, C. C. Wylie, James R. Naiden

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The fundamental work on this translation was done by Miss Francis M. Svaldi, a student working on National Youth Administration funds. After Miss Svaldi's graduation, her work was revised and corrected by James R. Naiden, Special Research Assistant in Astronomy (now 1st Lieutenant Army Air Corps), working under the direction of C. C. Wylie, Professor of Astronomy. The pressure of war work, and the enlistment of Mr. Naiden in the Armed Forces, have made it impossible to smooth out the translation as planned. However, it has been thought best to publish it in its present form, since it is not …
