Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Johns Hopkins Alumni Magazine, 1918, Vol. 6 At the outbreak of the War in August 1914 there was practically complete cessation of regular work in the laboratories of France and England. It is true their scientific journals did not stop, but the researches and investigations reported were in the main those which had been carried on before this time. This country was almost completely ignorant of the character of the work being done abroad, although everyone knew that the exigencies of the War were calling for the assistance of all scientific men. A large number of these were, naturally, engaged in actual warfare; whereas others were working in their laboratories on problems having a bearing upon war. The exact nature of these problems and the extent to which they were being solved were unknown to us in this country, except in so far as personal correspondence threw light upon the subject. This question of recent scientific work in France and England became a matter of the utmost importance to America the moment this country entered the War actively. The National Research Council, appointed by the direction of the President to consider and to advise concerning the connection between all forms of scientific activity and the various departments of the Government, had this subject in mind immediately. The idea occurred to the Chairman of its Executive Committee, Dr. George E. Hale, that it would be well to send a Commission from this country to Europe in order to investigate the matter at first hand.
