  Inter-Office Memo

  To Dr. Shoemaker

  From Linus Pauling

  2/4/49

  Intermetallic compounds that might be studied

  I see in Strukturbericht 3, page 612 that the compound AuPb₂ is reported to have A₀ = 16.14 Å. So far as I am aware its structure is not known.

  AuPb₂ is formed at 68° by a solid-phase transformation, from a melt containing less than 73 per cent lead, or at a somewhat lower temperature directly from the melt in case that there is a little more than 73 per cent present. I suppose that it might be possible to make crystals of it in a lead matrix by slow cooling of a melt containing about 80 per cent lead, and then by dissolving the lead away, under suitable conditions. I think it would be interesting to try to determine the structure of this crystal.

  Dr. Leslie Sutton

  Magdalen College

  Oxford

  England

  Dear Leslie:

  I have spoken several times to Verner Schomaker about getting a report to you on the electron diffraction results that are available here but not yet published, and he has said each time that he is getting the list together and will send it to you.

  I was sorry that Sidgwick had to postpone his visit. Perhaps it will be possible for him to make it later on.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W

  P.S. The American Chemical Society is keeping me pretty busy right now. I have been trying to work up some of the ideas that I had while in Oxford, in order to publish them, but things move rather slowly. At the present time I have the manuscript of a paper on dissociation energies of diatomic molecules and the valence states of atoms prepared, but I shall have to revise it before publication. LP.

  February 16, 1949

  Professor Ralph Spitzer

  Oregon State College

  Corvallis, Oregon

  Dear Ralph:

  I am shocked to learn from your letter of February 9 that President Strand told you that your contract would not be renewed next year, even though there is no question of competency involved and you are not delinquent in your duties to the chemistry department, according to his statement.

  You can count on me to do everything that I can to get to the bottom of the matter, and to assist you.

  I am interested in the Oregon State College, and I plan to write to President Strand. However, before doing so I would like to have some additional information from you. I note that you have been Associate Professor of Chemistry now for two years, and that you were Assistant Professor for one year before your promotion to the associate professorship. Could you tell me whether your appointment as Associate Professor was supposed to carry permanent tenure with it? The rules and customs at different institutions vary on this matter; sometimes seven years of service as a member of the faculty is required for permanent tenure, but very often appointments to associate professorships or full professorships are made with permanent tenure from the beginning.

  The point here is that until a faculty member has been given a permanent appointment, or has served for such a period of time and under such circumstances as to give the presumption of permanent tenure in accordance with the principles of, say, the American Association of University Professors, the university is within its rights in not continuing his appointment. Even if there is a difference of opinion between the president and the other members of the staff in his department the matter still remains a local one until his appointment becomes permanent. I think that in general the A.A.U.P. would interest itself in the firing of a man with permanent appointment, but would not want to interfere with any university in picking its permanent staff - that is, in the initial selection of people for permanent appointment.

  I shall in any case write to President Strand, after I have heard from you again.

  Could you also tell me something about the conditions of employment of Professor LaVallee, and about what has happened to him?

  I wanted to have a man with liberal ideas on the Committee on Patent Legislation of the American Chemical Society, and I would be very pleased if you would serve in this way. I know that you have not shown any very special interest in patent legislation, but I am sure that you could do some good work on this committee. I am glad to have your offer to serve on some other committee, but I doubt that any vacancy will arise during my service as president of the Society. I trust accordingly that you will accept the appointment.

  Please let me know the answers to my questions above as soon as you can. Also please write to me and let me know what is going on.

  Sincerely yours,

  [Linus Pauling]

  Professor Charles C. Price

  Department of Chemistry

  University of Notre Dame

  Notre Dame, Indiana

  Dear Professor Price:

  I thank you for your letter of February 16. I myself have felt that it was worth while to work toward the formation of an effective world federation - just the other night I spoke on "Progress toward World Government" before the student Y.M.C.A. group here - but I do not believe that this movement is incompatible with the activities of the Cultural and Scientific Conference for World Peace. I doubt, of course, that our progress will be made by any of the simple and logical procedures that have been proposed, but that it will occur through a very round-about and gradual approach to the goal. In particular, I am afraid that it will be a long time before any significant step is taken towards the adoption of world government, and that in the meantime we shall have to be satisfied with temporary measures, including, I hope, some significant amount of disarmament through mutual agreement. And I think that it is well worth while to fight against the attitude that a continued state of belligerence must exist between the United States and Russia.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W

  Dr. A. L. Strand, President

  Oregon State College

  Corvallis, Oregon

  Dear President Strand:

  I am greatly disturbed by the accounts that have reached me of the failure to continue the appointment of Dr. Ralph Spitzer, Associate Professor of Chemistry at the Oregon State College, apparently because his political beliefs are not the conventional ones. I am writing this letter of protest in four capacities: first, as a graduate of the Oregon State College, with an interest in the affairs of the College; second, as chairman of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology, in which Dr. Spitzer received his doctor's degree; third, as the president of the American Chemical Society, of which Dr. Spitzer is a member; and fourth, as a man involved in our educational system and deeply interested in it.

  From personal knowledge of Dr. Spitzer beginning when he was an undergraduate at Cornell University while I was there as George Fisher Baker Lecturer in Chemistry, I can say with assurance that he has not been dropped because of lack of knowledge of his subject nor lack of ability as a teacher. He is to be included in the upper group of the able younger physical chemists in the country. It seems reasonably clear, from the information that has reached me, including the article that appeared in our local paper, that Professor Spitzer would have been continued in his appointment except for the fact that his political beliefs are not the conventional ones, and in particular that he supported Henry Wallace in the last election. I believe that this action constitutes a violation of the principles of academic freedom, and that it would do great harm to the universities and colleges of the country and in particular to the Oregon State College if it were allowed to stand. I am accordingly writing to urge that you reconsider the matter and give continued appointment to Dr. Spitzer, and presumably also to Dr. L.R. LaVallee.

  I believe that it is my own right and duty as an American citizen to take an active interest in politics, and that Dr. Spitzer has a similar right and duty. I believe that it is a violation of the principles of academic freedom for a man to be dismissed for this reason. I do not agree completely with Dr. Spitzer on questions relating to politics, but I support him in his right to hold his beliefs.

  As an Oregonian and an alumnus of Oregon State College, I want to point out the great damage that can be done to the College if your action is allowed to stand. I have followed with interest the efforts of the College to improve itself during the past decades, and have attempted to help by giving advice and by making recommendations of good men for appointment. I am sure that a violation of the principles of academic freedom by the administration of the College will cause the College to lose some of the strong men on its staff and among its students, and will make it difficult for it to obtain outstanding men in the future.

  You may not have heard that, before Dr. Spitzer's dismissal from his post at Oregon State College, I had appointed him a member of an important national committee of the American Chemical Society, the Committee on Patent Legislation. This appointment shows the high regard that I have for his professional competence, in the broad sense.

  May I repeat my request to you to reconsider the action that you have taken, and, for the sake of the Oregon State College and the university system generally, to continue the appointment of Dr. Spitzer, and presumably also of Dr. LaVallee.

  Sincerely yours,

  cc: Dr. Spitzer
