Robert Rathbun Wilson, formerly assistant professor at Princeton, has been working for the past two years on the atomic bomb and was one of the scientists in charge of the New Mexico experiment.
The youngest of the four, Julian Seymour Schwinger, aged 27, has done considerable work as a theoretical physicist, first as a National Research Fellow at Berkeley, and later as an assistant professor at Purdue. Since the war he has been on a leave of absence from Purdue.
