Major Events On February 4, Pauling delivers the first Harrison Howe Lecture, "Analogies between Antibodies and Simpler Chemical Substances," before the Rochester Section of the American Chemical Society in Rochester, New York. The lecture series is instituted to honor the late Harrison E. Howe, who was the longtime editor of Chemical and Engineering News and Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. On March 24, G.N. Lewis dies while at work in his Berkeley laboratory. Pauling publishes papers on the use of punched cards in molecular structure determinations (with Verner Schomaker) and on the oxygen meter (with Reuben Wood and J.H. Sturdivant), projects that were developed during the war years but able to be published only after the war’s end. On June 14, Pauling receives the 35th Willard Gibbs Medal of the Chicago Section of the American Chemical Society. His acceptance talk is on modern structural chemistry. At the request of Albert Einstein, Pauling and six other scientists form the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists. The task of this committee, of which Einstein is the chairman, is to bring to the notice of all people the great change that has taken place in the world after the discovery of nuclear weapons. Lee DuBridge becomes president of CIT on September 1, 1946. George W. Beadle becomes head of the Division of Biology at CIT. He and Pauling set up a fifteen-year joint program for the chemical and biological divisions to work on basic problems in biology and medicine. Pauling and Beadle receive a $300,000 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation for a five-year study of the structure of organic proteins. In the fall, Dr. Harvey Itano accepts a fellowship in chemistry from the American Chemical Society and goes to CIT. An American citizen born in California of Japanese heritage, Itano was one of the Nisei incarcerated for a short time after the onset of World War II. After obtaining his freedom, he attended St. Louis University School of Medicine, where he received an M.D. degree in 1945. He read Karl Landsteiner’s The Specificity of Serological Reactions and was stimulated by Pauling’s chapter at the end of the book. Pauling gives him the research problem of studying the role of hemoglobin in the sickled red cells from sickle-cell-anemia patients. Chronology by Robert Paradowski.
