  Dr. T. Addis, M.D.

  Department of Medicine

  Stanford University School of Medicine

  2398 Sacramento Street

  San Francisco, California

  Dear Tom:

  I am glad to say that Ava Helen and I got safely back from our trip of two months to England and Sweden. We had a fine time, and we thought about you often.

  I hope that you are now in good shape, and that Mrs. Addis is also well.

  I haven't very much to report about the matter of your visit to England. I talked with Sir Edward Mellanby, who said that it would be fine to have you come, and that he would make whatever arrangements were needed. He said to let him know as soon as the trip was definitely scheduled.

  I also talked a good bit with people at the English universities about using the funds under the Fulbright Amendment for support of professors and advanced research men instead of exclusively for undergraduate students. They are enthusiastic about the idea, and it is, of course, permitted under the law. However, I am not at all sure what decision will be made by the new Presidential board. I am not a member of this board, and I do not yet know who the members are. I received a telegram from the State Department saying that the President had decided not to appoint me a member of the board because I was going to be out of the country during the major part of the coming year.

  Our trip was a very interesting one. We spent three days at the northern end of Long Island, at a conference of twenty-five people on the foundations of quantum mechanics. Then we flew to England, stayed for a week in Cambridge, a week in Oxford, and ten days in London. The Cambridge and Oxford visits were full of social affairs, which kept us very busy, but the first ten days in London were quiet ones, which we devoted exclusively to resting and sightseeing. We then flew to Stockholm, and had ten days of very pleasant vacation, including a three-day visit to Visby, on the island of Gottland in the Baltic. We attended the first three days of the International Congress of Experimental Cytology in Stockholm, a very pleasant affair, and then went back to London. Here for about two weeks we were kept busy with the Centenary Celebration of The Chemical Society, the International Union of Chemistry, and the International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry. We then flew to New York, and took the train home. I shall tell you all about conditions in England when we visit you next.

  Are you going to be in San Francisco about a month from now? Ava Helen and I are thinking that it would be good to drive up, and to call on you, along about the first of September. Our plans are very flexible, however, and we could adjust the time of our visit to suit your convenience.

  My textbook of freshman chemistry has just appeared, and I have been looking through it for mistakes. We seem to have been fortunate, however, for I have found only one so far.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Professor Arnold Sommerfeld

  Dunantstrasse 10

  (23) Munich

  Germany

  Dear Professor Sommerfeld:

  I was very glad to find our reprint list with your name on it, and with your address, when I got back to Pasadena a couple of days ago, after a two months' visit in England and Sweden. My wife came with me on this trip to Europe, our first since 1930, but none of the children were along. We thought about you and Frau Sommerfeld very often and wished that we could come to Munich to visit you. However, circumstances did not permit this.

  We hope that you and Frau Sommerfeld are not suffering too much under the difficult circumstances of the post-war period. The young man Mr. Merrill who visited you over a year ago and took a photograph of you was good enough to send a print of the photograph to us. We were very glad to see your familiar faces again.

  You remember that we have four children, a boy Linus Jr., now 22 years old, a boy Peter now 16, a girl Linda, 15, and a boy Crellin, 10. They are all healthy and happy and are doing well in their studies. Linus Jr. is somewhat behind in his work because he served for three years in the Army. He will be a junior student this fall at Pomona College, where he is taking a pre-medical course. He hopes to be able to go on to Harvard Medical School after another year. He is not married yet. Peter is planning to be a physicist. He will enter Cal Tech this year, but will stay for only one term, and will then go with us to Oxford.

  We are planning to take the three younger children with us to Oxford at Christmas time. I am to be George Eastman Professor there during the period January to June. We shall leave Pasadena about December 20 and return probably in August of 1948.

  Our visit to England and to Sweden this year was for several reasons. I was given an honorary doctor's degree by the University of Cambridge and also by the University of London, and was inducted as an honorary member of the Chemical Society and of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. I also attended the Centenary Celebration of the Chemical Society, the International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry, and the International Union of Chemistry in London as well as the International Congress of Experimental Cytology in Stockholm. There were many continental scientists at the International congresses, and I was glad to see some of my old friends and also to meet people whom I had known before only through their scientific work.

  [page 2]

  Our work in Pasadena is going along very well. We have about one hundred research workers in the Gates and Crellin Laboratories of Chemistry. Max Delbruck is returning to Pasadena this summer as Professor of Biology. For a number of years he has been at the Vanderbilt University Medical School in Nashville, Tennessee.

  Professor Millikan retired a couple of years ago, and Dr. DuBridge, whom you probably remember, is the President of the California Institute of Technology. Professor Millikan is in good health and he keeps busy with various activities, including raising funds for the support of the Institute. He and Mrs. Millikan suffered a blow two months ago, when their second son, Glenn Millikan who was Professor of Physiology at the Vanderbilt University Medical School, was killed in a mountain climbing accident. Professor Epstein is in good health. You probably remember Dr. H. P. Robertson, who was a graduate student here, in mathematical physics, when I was a student, and who has been Professor of Mathematical Physics at Princeton University for many years. He has now accepted appointment at Professor of Mathematical Physics at the California Institute of Technology, and is due to arrive here in a few days. Also John G. Kirkwood, of Cornell University, has accepted appointment as Arthur Amos Noyes Professor of Chemistry, and will arrive In Pasadena next month.

  You no doubt remember Professor Roscoe G. Dickinson, who played the cello with you at our house. I am sorry to say that he died about two years ago, from cancer of the colon. We were all greatly shocked to lose him, while he was still a comparatively young man.

  You may have heard from some visitor to Munich that I was seriously ill a few years ago. I had an attack of glomerulo nephritis in 1941. Fortunately I was able to get it under control, and I am now in very good health, able to do as much work as ever. It is, however, necessary for me to adhere rather rigidly to a special diet, and I find this to be specially inconvenient when I am traveling.

  I have just had a new book published - "General Chemistry," a textbook for first-year college students. I have been giving the lectures in general chemistry during the last ten years, and I wrote the book in order to have available a modern introduction to chemical science, in place of the rather unsatisfactory older books. I am sending a copy of this book to you under separate cover.

  With very best regards to you and to Frau Sommerfeld, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  August 14, 1947

  Professor Kurt G. Stern

  Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn

  99 Livingston Street

  Brooklyn 2, New York

  Dear Professor Stern:

  My answer to your letter of June 8 has bean delayed until my return from Europe.

  About all I need to say about the phosphorus atoms in phosphate models is that the distance from the center of the phosphorus atom to the center of the oxygen atom should be 1.55 Ǻ. The van der Waals radius of oxygen is 1.4 Ǻ., and I believe that in the Fisher-Hirschfelder models this is decreased by 0.2 Ǻ. Accordingly the phosphorus atom should be made of such a size as to make the distance from its center to the outside of the oxygen atom sphere equal to 2.75 Ǻ.

  I have been very pleased to find Dr. Seymour Singer at work here. He seems to me to be an excellent man, and we are looking forward to a good year's work from him.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:par

  Dr. Harper W. Frantz

  Pasadena City College

  East Colorado Street

  Pasadena, California

  Dear Dr. Frantz:

  I have thought more about the matter of the use of gram formula weights and formality, and have reached the conclusion again that it would be wise to make extensive use of these concepts, and to use molality and mole only when the molecular species is definitely known. That is, I believe that the tentative decision reached day before yesterday is the right one.

  I have also asked Dr. Davidson for his opinion, and have found that he feels the same way. He is planning to give the concentrations of all reagents used in our freshman laboratory from now on in terms of formality, including the concentrated and dilute acids and bases.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:par
