1948 - Linus Pauling Day-by-Day - Special Collections

Major Events

Pauling and his family arrive at Oxford on New Year’s Day and have to live in a hotel for three-and-a-half weeks. They then move into a flat. Pauling begins his George Eastman Professorship during which he lectures on the chemical bond as well as on molecular structure and biological specificity.
On February 2, Pauling is awarded the Presidential Medal for Merit "for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the United States from October 1940 to June 1946." (Later in the year, on October 4, CIT holds a convocation for the five faculty members who received the Medal for Merit: Lee A. DuBridge, William A. Fowler, Max Mason, Linus Pauling, and Bruce H. Sage.)
In the spring, Pauling attacks again the problem of the structure of proteins and this time he finds that he can formulate a structurally satisfactory helical configuration. He does this by sketching a polypeptide chain of amino acids on a piece of paper and then rolling the paper so that he can form hydrogen bonds between certain amino-acid groups. The alpha helix that results contains a nonintegral number of amino-acid residues per turn of the helix. Because his model appears to contradict the data from X-ray crystallography, he tells Ava Helen but no one else about his structure.
On May 28, Pauling delivers the 21st Sir Jesse Boot Foundation Lecture at the University of Nottingham. He speaks on "Molecular Architecture and the Processes of Life." His general theme is on his molecular approach to the chemical problems posed by molecules from living things. He also mentions nucleoprotein molecules, which, he says, are the molecules that determine the characters of individual living organisms and are involved in the transmission of these characters to progeny. Toward the end of the paper, he speculates that the genetic molecule may act as a template that causes the formation of a molecule with a complementary (not an identical) structure.
In June, Linus and Ava Helen Pauling, with family and friends, celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary at Balliol College in Oxford University.
Pauling receives an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Oxford University (T.S. Eliot receives a Doctor of Letters degree at the same ceremony).
Pauling receives an honorary degree from the University of Paris.
On his return to CIT, Pauling takes up his various researches. He and his collaborators continue to publish papers on the serological properties of simple substances. By this time, hundreds of experiments have been done, and they have an excellent understanding of the interactions of antibodies with haptenic groups.
Pauling publishes an influential paper on the metallic state in Nature.
Richard C. Tolman dies in Pasadena on September 5, 1948.
Pauling is vice-chairman of the Progressive Citizens of America, the group which backs Henry Wallace for president. Pauling votes for Wallace in the November elections, but the candidate Ava Helen votes for, Harry S. Truman, wins.
