Leon Cooper was born in 1930 in New York where he attended Columbia University (A.B. 1951; A.M. 1953; Ph.D. 1954). He became a member of the Institute for Advanced Study (1954-55) after which he was a research associate of Illinois (1955-57) and later an assistant professor at the Ohio State University (1957-58). Professor Cooper joined Brown University in 1958 where he became Henry Ledyard Goddard University Professor (1966-74) and where he is presently the Thomas J. Watson, Sr. Professor of Science (1974-). Professor Cooper is Director of Brown University's Center for Neural Science. This Center was founded in 1973 to study animal nervous systems and the human brain. Professor Cooper served as the first director with an interdisciplinary staff drawn from the Departments of Applied Mathematics, Biomedical Sciences, Linguistics and Physics. Today, Cooper, with members of the Brown Faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students with interests in the neural and cognitive sciences, is working towards an understanding of memory and other brain functions, and thus formulating a scientific model of how the human mind works. Professor Cooper has received many forms of recognition for his work in 1972, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics (with J. Bardeen and J.R. Schrieffer) for his studies on the theory of superconductivity completed while still in his 20s. In 1968, he was awarded the Comstock Prize (with J.R. Schrieffer) of the

Nobel laureate Leon N. Cooper to speak April 22 Leon N. Cooper, winner of the 1972 Nobel Prize in physics, will deliver Washington University's Eugene Feenberg Memorial Lecture at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 22, in Room 201 Crow Hall. His talk, titled "Confessions of an Unrepentant Reductionist: What the Laws of Physics Don't Tell Us," is free and open to the public. Cooper, the Thomas J. Watson Sr. Professor of Science at Brown University, will discuss his view of the meaning of reductionism and propose an answer to the question: To what extent can all of our experience be explained by 'laws' of physics? As founder and director of Brown University's Institute for Brain and Neural Systems, Cooper leads an interdisciplinary group of scientists in the study of brain function, paving the way for the design of the next generation of intelligent systems for use in pharmaceuticals, electronics, automobiles and communications. He discovered the phenomenon known as Cooper Pairing, which provides the foundation for understanding superconductivity. He also has made pivotal contributions to the theory of learning and memory storage in neural systems. The Eugene Feenberg Memorial Lecture was established in honor of the late Washington University professor who retired as the Wayman Crow Professor of Physics in 1975 after teaching nearly 30 years in Arts and Sciences. A pioneer in the application of quantum mechanics to complex systems, Feenberg was noted for his contributions to nuclear theory, approximation methods and the theory of quantum fluids.

April 16, 1998 Missouri declares Thurtene Week as students prepare for carnival Funnel cakes, facades and the Phi Delt movie. Throw in a Ferris wheel and fun and you've got the main ingredients for the unique Washington University recipe known as Thurtene Carnival. This year's event, which continues the tradition of the nation's oldest and longest-running student-operated carnival, will be held from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, April 18 and 19, on the campus parking lot at Millbrook and Skinker boulevards. There is no admission fee, although tickets will be sold for the rides. The theme for the event is "On Top of the World!" The week leading up to the carnival (known to the participants as "Lot Week") has been declared "Thurtene Carnival Week" by the State of Missouri. It is during this week that the North Brookings Hall parking lot is transformed into a playground for the imagination of countless people in the St. Louis and surrounding areas. This year, it is expected that more than 100,000 people will attend the carnival. Popular traditions of Thurtene Carnival will continue, including the presence of nine facades, scenic walls from which students will perform skits; 14 major rides, including five kiddie rides; a spread of food ranging from ethnic edibles to chocolate-covered bananas; and more than 15 game booths.

Cooper, Leon N. (b. Feb. 28, 1930, New York, N.Y., U.S.), American physicist and winner of the 1972 Nobel Prize for Physics , along with John Bardeen and John Robert Schrieffer , for his role in developing the BCS (for their initials) theory of superconductivity. The concept of Cooper electron pairs was named after him. Cooper was educated at Columbia University, receiving his Ph.D. in 1954. He taught at Ohio State University in Columbus before joining (1958) the faculty at Brown University, Providence, R.I., where he was appointed Henry Ledyard Goddard university professor in 1966 and Thomas J. Watson, Sr., professor of science in 1974. His principal contribution to the BCS theory was the discovery (1956) that electrons, which under normal conditions repel each other, are attracted to each other in superconductors, a phenomenon termed the Cooper electron pairs. He lectured extensively abroad and took a special interest in teaching physics to humanities students. His publications include An Introduction to the Meaning and Structure of Physics Introduction to Methods of Optimization (1970), and

(Frank) Yang asking if there was someone who was familiar with the current field theoretic techniques because he thought maybe they could be applied to superconductivity. Frank asked me if I might be interested, and I replied, "Why not?" ... I didn't know anything about solid-state physics, but the thing that intrigued me was that superconductivity was a problem that had been around for fifty years, and no one had been able to solve it. The first thing I did was dutifully to jump into the problem with all the latest, fanciest, field theoretic techniques. ... Then ... I decided that, you know, this doesn't make any sense at all. I'm doing all of this razzle dazzle, and when you look at the simplest elements of the problem, you ask people what the solution is in ordinary English, and no one can answer. ...

Fowler As members of the international community of intellectuals and scholars we are shocked by the recent indictment and the imminent trial of three dissident leaders, Adam Michnik, Bogdan Lis, and Wladyslaw Frasyniuk. These actions indicate that our hopes for a more tolerant attitude toward free speech in Poland have been unfounded. These leaders, already imprisoned for two months, have been charged with inciting public unrest for merely discussing the possibility of calling a fifteen-minute general strike to protest food price increases. The strike, as you know, never even occurred. Among those jailed is the historian Adam Michnik. A noted author and theorist of democracy, Michnik has devoted a lifetime to nonviolent protest on behalf of economic, cultural, and political freedom. He has already spent several years in prison in Poland. His release last summer was interpreted by some as a harbinger of liberalization. Mr. Michnik's reimprisonment, so suddenly, obviously belies this view. We strongly protest the imprisonment of Mr. Michnik and his colleagues. Any government which responds to the peaceful dissent of intellectuals through forceful detainment violates international standards of human rights and in so doing alienates itself from individuals and institutions in the world for whom such rights are sacrosanct. We demand that the Polish government adopt a genuine program of liberalization and begin by releasing Mr. Michnik and his colleagues.

Photograph : Melvin Schwartz, '53. Photograph : Julian S. Schwinger, '36. Columbia College, which has graduated more Nobel laureates in science than any other American college, will present to five of them its highest honor, the Alexander Hamilton Medal, this Thursday in Low Rotunda. "These are humanist-scientists, at home with Hamlet and the atom, whose shared experience of Columbia's famed core curriculum sets them apart," said President Rupp. They are: Leon N. Cooper '51, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1972; Roald Hoffmann '58, winner of the Nobel in Chemistry in 1981; Norman F. Ramsey, Jr. '35, Nobel laureate in Physics in 1989; Melvin Schwartz '53, who won the Nobel in Physics in 1988, and Julian S. Schwinger '36, posthumously, winner of the Nobel in Physics in 1965. Clarice Schwinger, his widow, will accept the award. A total of nine Nobel Prize winners in science (physics, chemistry and physiology or medicine) are graduates of the College, the record for undergraduate degrees earned at any one school. The other four received the Hamilton Medal in a similar celebration 34 years ago, in 1961. Generally, the medal is awarded to only one individual each year. The medal has been given since 1947 to honor faculty, former faculty or alumni for "distinguished service and accomplishment in any field of human endeavor." Previous winners also include Columbia President Dwight D. Eisenhower and alumni Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.

President Rupp said last Thursday that great universities should resist pressure to perform applied research at the expense of pure science. "Universities must not be construed as simply job shops for industry, just as college teams should not be considered a farm league for professional football," he said. "It is crucial to our very identity as a great research university that we resist pressures to become preoccupied with short-term economic payoffs at the cost of the disciplined, long-term, fundamental inquiry that is our irreplaceable contribution. A failure to resist those pressures would endanger both research and education." Speaking at a ceremony to award Columbia College's highest honor, the Alexander Hamilton Medal, to five Nobel laureates in science who graduated from the school, Rupp said: "Today there are potent pressures on universities to produce research that is more and more applied: that promises economic benefits in relatively short order, that will support, or even initiate, a resurgence of American capacity to capture market share." These are important national goals, he said, and Columbia's scientists and engineers play a major role in such research, maintaining "solid working relationships with industrial partners." But, he said, "we must resist pressure that deflects us from our central purpose."
