PHYSICIST IN GOVERNMENT WORK

Professor P. W. Bridgman '04, of the Department of Physics, has recently left the University to join Professor G. W. Pierce '64, director of the Cruft High Tension Electrical Laboratory, at a submarine base on the Atlantic coast, where the latter has been engaged in Government work since last spring. The nature of the work and the location of the base are of necessity with-held.

Professor Pierce, who has been granted a year's leave of absence and whose place here has been temporarily filled by Professor E. L. Chaffee '08, was carrying on investigations in the field of wireless telegraphy before his departure. Professor Bridgman was engaged in experimental work on high pressures.
