Dean Whitmore Discloses
War Research Proiects
Enlightening and entertaining a capacity altdience in the Chemis
try lecture room, Frank C. Whitniore, Dean of the School of Chemistry
and Physics, discuSsed some of the - w'artime research problems at
tacked by the school in cooperation with Other departments Of the
College;as well as nutmerous educational and industrial institutions.
Prefacing his talk with the statement that "War research is dfelli
nitely based on peacetime research,", Dean Whitmore went on to
commend the team work and
loyal cooperation of about 400
•: employees of, the school, • and a
number of- pp4essors . and,
"training Pro
gram.
Although the dean mentioned
more than 20 problems, he dis
cussed two, penicillin and. super
. explosives, at greater length. The
rforrner project was the larkest
on the campus from the. stand
pdint of monetary investment and
it involved a great deal of co
operation among, six different in
stitutions: Much of the program's
success was attributed' to the free
flow of information.
Although the first 10 pounds
of the super-explosive was iso
lated •in Pond lab, Dean Whit
more claims there- was no danger.
It was accomplished while the
group was trying to find out why
the- "stuff," which had been
known for many years could not
be made in large quantities.
It was emphasized by the
speaker -that even if atom bombs
cottld . be controlled, his super
explosive- could be 'made in ,
limited quantities, since its .raw.
materials are coal, air, water, .and
limestone. Lat e r developments
took' place at two• other institu
tions, and the British developed
the method independently.
Throughout the discussion, - the
dean repeatedly said that al
though Penn Staters 'could be
proud Of its contribution to the
War effort, they could not point
to any one thing which had been
accomplished here exclusively
