Letter from Linus Pauling to F.E. Simon. January 11, 1950Pauling writes to tell Simon that he agreed with Simon's article in the Financial Times that said that Britain needs to improve its engineering and technical education. He feels that this should be done by making engineers not looked down upon and by building up the programs at Oxford and Cambridge. He is happy that Simon does not agree with Philbrick that all fundamental science progress occurs in Europe nor with an American physicist who claims that the progress is only in the US; Pauling feels that the truth is in between those statements. He ends by joking about comic strips and mentioning that he is working mostly on applying chemistry to medicine but is also looking at the theory of metals. View Transcript
